Failing our Children: Foster Care in Quebec
CBC Montreal takes a closer look at foster care in the province.
A CBC Montreal exclusive investigation
A Quebec Human Rights Commission report is shedding light on the province's youth services.
The CBC's Shari Okeke spoke with a 17-year-old whose experiences became the basis for the commission's investigation.
The teenager, whose identity is protected by law, said his former foster father sexually abused him for six years.
The foster father was charged but prosecutors stopped the proceedings, telling the teenager there was conflicting testimony and a lack of evidence.
