Geeti Shafia: Shafia

Michelle Dionne Dept: Since the high-profile murders of the Shafia daughters and their "aunt" in 2009, youth protection workers have changed some of their procedures, said Michelle Dionne, the head of youth protection at the Centre de jeunesse de Montr al, according to Montreal Gazette. In the Shafia case, there was some ambiguity and confusion about whether school staff were calling to report abuse or for a consultation, Dionne said on Monday and after Zainab, Sahar and Geeti Shafia died in honour killings orchestrated by their parents and brother, youth protection organizations that had dealt with the troubled Montreal family pledged to examine their practices. When someone calls youth protection, front-line workers have been instructed to ask whether the caller wants to signal a case of abuse or is simply calling for a consultation or to ask a question. "We want to clarify the intentions" of the caller, Dionne said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
