4-year-old who died described by mother as ‘angel who never hurt anybody’
The mother of the four-year-old girl who died in Long Plain First Nation Sunday spoke with Global News from the hospital, where two of her daughters remain.
A four-year-old girl from Manitoba, described by her mother as an "angel who never hurt anybody, not even her own little sisters," passed away in a tragic incident. The girl was in medical distress when the Manitoba First Nation Police Service arrived at the family's home on Long Plain First Nation Sunday morning. Despite the efforts of emergency services and police, the young girl could not be saved.
Her mother spoke from the hospital, where she was with her two younger daughters, also injured during the incident. The girls were not living with their mother at the time of the incident; they were being cared for by Manitoba Child and Family Services. The mother expressed her disbelief, saying her daughter would have been excited to start school this month. She wished she could wake up from this "bad dream."
The mother's two younger daughters, aged one and two, are currently in stable condition. One of the toddlers was in serious condition when the Manitoba RCMP arrived at the scene. Manitoba RCMP has stated that they will not provide updates to the media regarding this case. Manitoba's Minister of Families, Nahanni Fontaine, expressed her deep sorrow over the loss, stating that no words can capture the heartbreak of losing a child.
She has directed the investigation to the police, the Manitoba Advocate for Children and Youth, and the Ministry will also be conducting their own inquiry.
