Baby Killers

Overview

Matthew Reid was a 3-year-old foster child from Canada who had been with the same foster family since the age of 10-months. The family took in an additional foster child about whom they knew little. This new girl, a young teenager, suffocated Matthew on her first night in the home. The girl was found to have mental disabilities. Though she was known to have violent tendencies, the new foster parents were not told of the problems.
