The Office of the Children’s Advocate (OCA) says it has launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding injuries reportedly sustained by a one-year-old boy while in State care at the Glenhope Place of Safety.

Children’s Advocate Diahann Gordon Harrison said her office first became aware of the incident through a media report published on Tuesday, August 11.

She said that at the time, the office had not received an official report concerning the matter.
