Each one of these deaths was preventable.
The report said the 19 children died from maltreatment between 2008 and 2020. Twelve were under the age of two and the others were under five.
The advocate s office tracked the deaths, which occurred after Phoenix Sinclair died. The five-year-old Indigenous girl had stints in foster care before she was abused and killed by her mother and stepfather in 2005.
She would have been 21 this year.
The girl s death sent shock waves through the province and led to a $14-million public inquiry. Its final report, which included 62 recommendations, was provided to the government in 2013.
Just over half the recommendations were completed as of last month, the advocate s report said. At that rate, Krone said, it will be 2028 before all are addressed.
