## Resource

A preventable tragedy: Nine-year-old Olivia Rodd and her mother died from carbon monoxide poisoning, but a new Prince Edward Island report reveals a dozen missed opportunities by professionals across agencies who failed to act. Child protection, mental health, police, and schools all had interactions with the family — yet instead of prioritizing Olivia’s safety, some viewed her as a tool to help her mother. Critical failures included lack of information sharing, misinterpretation of reporting duties, and fear of being blamed. One alarming case: Olivia’s mother reported suicidal thoughts and was released within hours without her risk to her daughter being documented or reported. The advocate is pushing for “Olivia’s Law” to empower professionals to act in a child’s best interest — overriding privacy barriers — and 20 systemic reforms are underway to prevent future deaths, especially after a similar tragedy occurred just seven years ago.
