DEADLY NEGLECT

Calgary father convicted in toddler’s death granted parole

CALGARY- A father found negligent in the death of his 14-month-old son has been granted parole eight months into his sentence.

Jeromie Clark and his wife were each sentenced in June to 32 months in prison.

Both are appealing the decision.

The Parole Board of Canada decided earlier this month to grant Jeromie Clark day parole and, once he is eligible, full parole.

The board says Clark has made strides in dealing with loss and grief and in gaining insights into events leading up to his son John’s death.

At trial, a forensic pathologist’s report said the toddler was malnourished and died from a staph infection.

No parole decision has been made yet for Jennifer Clark.
