This is the best summary I could come up with:


A judge is recommending an alert information-sharing system among provinces for high-risk children to protect youth like 15-year-old Alexandru Radita of Calgary, who died weighing 37 pounds.

Justice Sharon Van de Veen, in a fatality inquiry report released Monday, said such standardized cross-boundary communication "may very well have saved Alex's life and (could) prevent similar deaths in the future."

"Alex was near death repeatedly when hospitalized as a result of his parents' resistance to provide the necessary insulin he needed to survive, but his file had been closed for some time," wrote Van de Veen.

Alex was not registered in school for four years before his death, and he received irregular and insufficient amounts of insulin from pharmaceutical companies throughout that time without a physician's oversight.

His mother Tamara Lovett, convicted of criminal negligence causing death, testified she gave her son holistic remedies for what she believed was a cold or flu.

Jennifer and Jeromie Clark were found guilty of criminal negligence causing death and failure to provide the necessaries of life for their 14-month-old son, John, in 2013.
