A boy in government care repeatedly smashed his head against the wall of a group home in B.C.’s Fraser Valley – hitting the surface hard enough to cause significant damage and serious concern, according to the facility’s former operator.
Michael Bray, director of Cedar Valley Community Living, told CTV News the disturbing situation unfolded just after the boy came into his care through a contract with Fraser Valley Aboriginal Children and Family Services Society (FVACFSS), also known as Xyólheméylh.
“He came to us, no meds, no safety gear, no nothing. He was smashing his head through walls, kneeing himself in the face,” said Bray who said the damage to the walls totalled about $12,000.
