Vandals strike grave of foster child
The father of a toddler who died this year in foster care says the boy's grave was vandalized recently.
Evander Daniels, a 22-month-old living in an Aberdeen foster home, died in June. His foster mother faces charges of criminal negligence causing death and endangering the life of a child.
Evander's body is buried in his birth mother's home community of the Sturgeon Lake First Nation. Birth father Chris Martell said the gravesite was recently vandalized.
The headstone had been kicked over, a cross was found several metres away and other parts of the site were disturbed, he said. No other graves appeared to have sustained any damage, he said.
No one from the band was available for comment Monday.
