Four representatives of Osh- awa CAS told Dr. Cotnam they was the victim of maltreat- ment and malnutrition by her parents, a coroner's jury said here Wednesday in recommend- ing that the Crown Attorney's department examine all the evi- dence to see if a basis for crim- inal action exists. Sheri Lynn Kimble, of 68 Wayne Street, who died from brain injuries Aug. 25, two days before her first birthday, was defined as "a battered baby, in the broadest sense' by On- tario's chief coroner, Dr. H. B. Cotnam. The inquest heard that from March 22 onwards, five people told the Children's Aid Society they thought the baby was be- ing ill-treated. But, evidence showed that although the Soci- ety suspected Sheri was a bat- tered baby, it did not act Dr. Cotnam called the ver- dict "excellent." It would focus ilar deaths, he said. Sheri's 22 - year - old parents, Lorne and Rebecca Kimble, said the baby fell off the coun- ter top of a_ kitchen sink in which she was bathed Aug. 24. They drove her to Scarborough General Hospital, from where she was transferred to Toronto Hospital for Sick Children. She died the following morning. NEGLIGENCE The jury placed "no cred- ence" on the Kimbles' evi- dence. They felt it was 'gross negligence' to by-pass local hospitals and take a seriously injured 'child to Toronto. The reasons given were flimsy and that action alone was most suspicious, the jury said. After deliberating four hours, the jury said they saw "cause for concern" in the Oshawa CAS handling of Sheri's case and recommended that the of danger to a child existed; that there can be closer liaison between the Crown Attorney, the CAS, and the public health department and that the CAS in- vestigate all cases where a battered child condition might exist, and tell the people who complained. They further recommended that the public have more knowledge of their duties under the Act, and suggested reloca- tion of assignment where the CAS was understaffed. MULTIPLE BRUISES Neuro-surgeon Dr. John Peer- less told the inquest he did not think a single fall caused the child's multiple bruises, and Dr. Paul Leonard Pitt said his im- mediate impression was that this was-a battered child. The parents' evidence that they were both home when ) for which the jury was called back. Mr. Varty said Lorne Kimble arrived home after Mrs. Kimble told him the baby was unconscious. Six neighbors of the Kimbles told the inquest of hearing the baby crying and_ screaming while Mrs. Kimble slapped, yelled and swore at it. Some saw bruises on the baby. The CAS were -notified by Mrs. Larry Davies, of Peter- borough, Mrs. Henrietta Miller and her husband, Mrs. Cheryl Brown, and another person not at the inquest. The Peterborough CAS re- ceived complaints against the Kimbles only a few days be- fore the family moved, so they sent a report to Oshawa branch Dr Kimbles' John N. Lowes, the doctor in Oshawa, was pale, undernourished, an- emic, dehydrated, and suffer- ing from respiratory and other infections. Some of these were com- mon in babies but his main worry was that this one was so much underweight, he said. He told the CAS he thought the child was neglected and that he would be willing to tes- tify in court. Telephone con- versations went on for about a month, he said in evidence, NO ANSWER A Public Health nurse in Peterborough visited the Kimbles, but an Oshawa nurse, Miss Carol Ann Servent, call- eat the home several times in April. but got no answer, Once she heard a television on, she said, and another time a felt there was insufficient evi- dence on which to take legal action on Sheri's behalf. The coroner closely questioned them all on how much evi- dence they thought necessary after getting several com- plaints. "T still feel that on the basis of our knowledge at the time this was a sound judgment," said Barnard Lewis, Director of the CAS for Oshawa. and On- tario County. They suspected Sheri was a battered child but they felt at least one of the family had the capacity to be an adequate parent. Pathologist Dr. Hans Sepp gave the cause of death as swelling of the brain after in- jury and said Sheri's bruises could have been caused by one fall.
