Hey there, time traveller!

Decades have gone by since a Winnipeg woman was in the care of Manitoba’s Child and Family Services and housed in a hotel for a couple of weeks, but she says she still lives with the traumatic effects of what happened to her then.
She was nine years old in 1997, when she was temporarily placed in the care of West Region CFS while her mother received psychiatric care. She was housed in a downtown Winnipeg hotel for two weeks.
It was there that she alleges she was sexually assaulted by a boy who was also in the care of CFS and housed in the same hotel room as her, according to a lawsuit she filed this month.
