Two Indigenous children were starved and tortured by their foster parents, also Indigenous, between December 2020 and February 2021 in Lake Errock, B.C.
The evidence indicated the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) hadn’t checked on the 11-year-old boy and his eight-year-old sister for seven months.
That is a long gap vs their standards
Under MCFD standards and practice, social workers are required to visit foster homes and children in care at least every 90 days.
Also why where they with her at all?
The foster mother, according to the evidence, had initially agreed to care for the children for a short period of time.
She describes having the children in her home as stressful and overwhelming, while a pre-sentence report notes she asked the MCFD for assistance as she could not care for the children – but her request was not met.

The story behind this is horrifying so I am totally on board with an inquiry into the system that let something like this happen.
Sounds more like shifting blame to me. Or are indigenous people not inherently responsible enough to not hurt their children?
You’re the only one who brought ethnicity into it and that’s honestly a really weird question to ask.
After reading the article I am not even sure why it was mentioned at all to be honest as it doesn’t seem relevant.
Judging from OP’s history they are agenda posting, and probably wouldn’t have posted this story if the parents weren’t minorities.
