US EditionOnly media report spurred Yukon to tell parents of sexual abuse in school: ombudsman
- Yukon's ombudsman report reveals that the territory's government failed to notify parents of a child sexual assault at Hidden Valley Elementary School for 19 months, denying them the opportunity to support their children.
- The government only informed parents of the case after a media report on a civil lawsuit in August 2021, despite the fact that the education assistant involved had already pleaded guilty in late 2020.
- The report highlights that the government's response was prompted by media attention and suggests that without it, the department would have continued to withhold information, depriving parents of the ability to take timely action.
