An Alberta judge is urging provinces to create a universal alert system to share critical information to better keep at-risk children safe.
Justice Sharon Van de Veen made the recommendations in a death investigation report into the death of 15-year-old Alexandru Radita of Calgary.
Radita died more than a decade ago from sepsis and untreated diabetes, and his parents were convicted of first degree murder.

The report states that Radita was not receiving proper care for his diabetes when the family lived in BC and at one point the boy was taken into foster care.
The judge notes that the neglect continued when the family moved to Alberta in 2008.
The judge says Alberta officials were unaware of the danger to Radita because the BC case file was closed.
