Posted by Sandra On January - 27 - 2012 ADD COMMENTS

The Ontario ooroner has called an inquest into the death of Jeffrey Baldwin, 5.

Jeffrey Baldwin (20 January 1997 – 30 November 2002) was a Canadian child whose death from septic shock after years of mistreatment by his grandparents, Elva Bottineau and Norman Kidman, led to significant changes in policy by children’s aid societies in the granting of custody of children to relatives.  On 19 March 2003, his grandparents were arrested and charged with first-degree murder for their role in his death. The trial heard they had kept Jeffrey locked in a bedroom, where he lived in his own feces, and left him to drink from a toilet. The judge was told that the pair used the children as a source of income, collecting government support cheques while offering little in return. On 7 April 2006 they were convicted of second-degree murder by Justice David Watt in Ontario Superior Court. READ MORE HERE
