The death of seven-year-old Katelynn Sampson's has prompted Ontario's Attorney General Chris Bentley to review legislation
aimed at protecting vulnerable children, a spokesman said Friday.
Katelynn's battered body was found by police Aug. 2 in her caregiver's apartment. Police characterized her death as among
the worst cases of child abuse they've seen in decades.
Bentley will "work closely" with the Ministry of Children and Youth Services to find ways to improve child protection, Murphy
said.
He said the review would look at how service providers and legislation work together and attempt to make "that system work
together better."
