FREDERICTON — New Brunswick authorities are committing to reviews of a severe neglect case that saw five children with little food, and living in a home smeared with feces. “It is important we get answers,” Families and Children Minister Stephen Horsman, who has asked for an internal review, said Thursday. It’s unfathomable as to how this could happen over such a long period of time,” Bosse said. He said the internal review also needs to look at why he wasn’t briefed on the case sooner. Both Horsman and Bosse stress that everyone has a responsibility to report any cases of suspected child abuse or neglect to Social Development or police immediately.
