Saskatchewan's advocate for children and youth says 2020 was one of the worst years the province has had when it comes to children dying violently.
Earlier this week, advocate Lisa Broda released her annual report, which detailed how nine confirmed child deaths in the province last year led to police homicide investigations, or charges of murder or manslaughter. That was more than the last seven years combined.
The advocate's report does not identify any of the children who died, but family members of one of those children is speaking out about a lack of support.
