Lethbridge-East MLA announces funding for southern Alberta programs to help prevent child abuse – Global News
October 25, 2016
The Alberta government is reinforcing its commitment to work with community partners to prevent child abuse and said Monday it was providing almost $160,000 in funding to two southern Alberta programs.
“I don’t know a family that isn’t dysfunctional,” Lethbridge-East MLA Maria Fitzpatrick said Monday.
Fitzpatrick said the announcement was an important one for her.
For nearly a decade she was victimized by her husband. One time, she said he held her daughters and mother in-law at gunpoint.
