A judge is recommending Alberta keep cribs on hand for families who need one after a baby was smothered to death in his sleep. Provincial court Justice Marilena Carminati says in a fatality report the mother found the five-month-old unresponsive in a bed in 2017, with his body almost completely covered by a sleeping sibling. The report says the Edmonton family’s case worker had requested a proper crib for the baby, but there was a delay of almost a week in getting one. The judge says Children and Family Services offices should keep a few cribs available and consider standards for how long it should take to supply one to a family in need. The report says there’s evidence families in the system often need cribs.
