Pressure builds to overhaul child welfare system after Ontario couple convicted of murder, torture of 2 boys

May 7, 2026

The judge in the trial for an Ontario couple who'd been caring for two brothers was clear in laying blame: Becky Hamber and Brandy Cooney are the ones who committed murder and other crimes. He also noted that the Children's Aid Society (CAS) had "zero to do" with their guilt or innocence. Still, the case raises concerns about the child protection system and has showcased systemic issues that need to be addressed immediately, say advocates and other observers.
