Death within a DPJ family
Rédaction Intexto ·
Guerline Saint-Lot is inconsolable. Her son, who was autistic, lived through hell for three years before dying.
Her autistic son who also suffered from sickle cell anemia died in the hands of the Direction de la protection de la jeunesse (DPJ). Around the age of 9, the child was placed temporarily in a foster home. The temporary placement became permanent until his death three years later. Ms. Saint-Lot participated Friday in a demonstration by Action Femme Afro du Québec and Mentaux rouges, all families with stories involving the DPJ. We met with her and discussed the situation.
