BC Attorney General: high risk offender under extraordinary measures
VANCOUVER/CKNW(AM980)

Attorney-General Shirley Bond says authorities are taking extraordinary measures to keep an eye on a high-risk violent offender recently released from jail.

Bond says privacy law limits what she can say about the case of 23-year-old Kayla Bourque, but the government is taking this case seriously.    

"I can tell you that I have been assured that there will be intensive monitoring and as you can imagine that's going to be required when you have 46 conditions and many of them involve probation officers and looking at for example even the kinds of relationships, approval of the kind of people that she can have contact with." 

Bond says it is a very sad circumstance to see a person of this age under such serious restrictions.
 
Bourque was convicted of killing animals and causing unnecessary pain and suffering to animals in 2009, and has expressed interest in harming other people.

    Given the concerns of the police, the comments of other professionals, and the details of her incarceration, this person should be placed in a permanent mental facility.

    No matter what external supervision is provided, there is no guarantee of compliance.

    It is sad to see a person of this age suffer from
    this serious mental health issue, but, these
    restrictions would not be necessary, if she was
    in a proper facility for people, who cannot function
    properly, due to serious mental health problems.

    What is even sadder is she is left with these restrictions,
    due to inadequate facilites to look after people, who
    cannot look after themselves and need to be under
    constant supervision and guidance and are left to struggle
    on their own, thru. daily life, if you can call it that for her..

    It is, also, sad to see her pain inflicted onto others.

    I think the next news release about this disturbed young woman is fairly predictable - she will violate the conditions of her parole by doing serious harm to some innocent person or animal and will be dragged back to jail for a few days ...until the cycle repeats itself

    Sounds like it would have been
    CHEAPER
    SAFER
    and make more overall sense for EVERYONE
    just to keep her in jail!

    It doesn't take very long for a person to kill another person... Unless she has someone walking beside her 24/7, these 46 conditions will NOT save someone's life should this woman choose that route.

    Time to reopen Riverview, me thinks.

      @AndreaK_5056 I don't know who would have the naievety to assume that this woman will stop before she does something and check her list of 46 conditions to make sure she is behaving correctly .
      The paper that the 46 conditions have been listed on has about as much value as the next square on the TP roll
