Lee Allan Bonneau R.I.P.
April 26, 2015 permalink
At the age of six Lee Allan Bonneau was taken from his parents by the province of Saskatchewan. Two and a half months later, while in the care of foster mother Mary Ramstead, he was attacked and killed by an older foster boy named only as LT. Lee's parents Dave Bonneau and Stacey Merk memorialized him with the tombstone above. How did the legal parents memorialize him? The province of Saskatchewan conducted an inquest into his death and the coroner published the Jury Findings (pdf). The report misspelled his name Allen.
Spelling a child's name wrong is commonplace for social workers. Best interest of the child does not extend to getting his name right.
