Here in this series I will discuss various youth that were killed in care. I will start with Tina Fontaine a 15 year old girl who's body was pulled out of the red river in Winnipeg.
This is a picture of her and the person accused of killing her.
Here is a video stating that Tina was a ward of CFS at the time of her murder. She was placed into the Best Western Downtown and would often come and go as the staff don't leave the hotel. I actually was placed into this very hotel as a youth.
Here is a video about how 2 Winnipeg police officers were some of the last few people to come in contact with Tina Fontaine and how an investigation took place to see if those police should have done more to take her back. Back to where the hotel was no place to keep her safe. Tina was not being shown other ways to make money.
What was she to do?

In this article it states that her body was found by the Alexander docks and that Raymond Cormier was hoping to have sex with Tina Fontaine and that various recordings were made of Cormier. One of those recordings states that Tina Fontaine was killed because "someone did not want to be known as a skinner" which is slang for pedophile in this city. Before she left her great aunty's care where she was placed for 11 years she was known as "She was such a happy girl, polite … That's just the kind of girl she was." The kids that become prostitutes as wards of CFS are rarely the violent ones. Its usually the nicest of kids, the trusting ones that make friends with all, the kids that wouldn't hurt a fly and the ones that have had no love in their day to day life for quite sometime.

Here is a link to an article saying that Tina's cousin who was 29 at the time was shot in the head and the house she was in was set on fire to cover up the crime. It also states that the woman killed was charged with trafficking a minor.
And here in this article it states that Manitoba will no longer count kids like Tina Fontaine that were placed into care by their guardians. This is a disgusting attempt to save face. Manitoba is the national embarrassment when it comes to child protective services in Canada. Manitoba eat's its young while the cowards remain complacent always waiting for someone else to deal with it.
I have someone to interview on this case but they are hard to find as they do not have a phone.
Tina Fontaine was sexually exploited and none but one of her abusers faced justice. That means they are still out there exploiting the youth of my city year after year. Being enabled in almost all cases by Child & Family Services.
