A Calgary parent says his daughter was injured and neglected in foster care and is accusing the province of ignoring the warning signs of abuse.
The baby girl was in foster care for three weeks before she was returned to her biological parents.
Her father, who can't be named to protect the child's identity, says he noticed signs of neglect like dry skin, bags under his daughter's eyes, and a diaper rash.
He says he tried to raise concerns about his daughter's care but his questions were ignored.
"They don't answer questions when she is in care. They don't answer questions when she is not in care and they don't give you the peace of mind that nobody will have to go through it again."
He says an independent inquiry is the least the province can do to get to the bottom of alleged abuses happening in the foster care system.
