The question of how children’s aid societies decide when a child is in need of care — and when that protection is no longer required — is at the centre of the story of Neveah, the girl whose remains were found in a dumpster in Rosedale.
As detailed by the Star, Neveah spent time in the care of both the Children’s Aid Society (CAS) of Toronto and York Region Children’s Aid Society before CAS Toronto made the decision to request her file be closed in March 2021.
