The background from the article.
Inuit Children in Nunavut are removed from their families by Child Services, put on an airplane and shipped down to cities in the province of Quebec.
To those that don’t know Canada that’s like taking children from their parents in North Dakota and sending them across the country to be stored in New York. It’s a long way from Home.
Once in Quebec, the kids are housed in weird apartments and not assigned a service agent that’s supposed to look over them. Those that did have an agent looking over them were told that they weren’t allowed to speak their own language with each other.
That’s troubling.
The good news. The Canadian Human Rights Commission is now involved and launching a full inquiry into whether the rights of these children are being infringed upon.
My opinion, based on the article, is that their rights haven’t just been infringed on but actually ripped apart.
There’s an entire society up in Nunavut. Did the Government even try to set up a system there to keep these kids around their family?
Can you imagine being yanked from your parents and sent nearly five hours flight away. That would be a horrific feeling
Article doesn’t say why they were taken away so I’m going to assume it’s a money issue, Remove the kid and get a bonus.
Next step. The commission looks into the matter, then takes the system in front of the Human Rights tribunal for a ruling. Maybe get some action on getting these kids back home to their family.
