While the residential schools are a horrific part of Canadian history, context needs to be given regarding this report. They have been investigating this since the early 2000's...that's roughly 20 years...this is not new. Investigations into how each child died and whether or not the deaths were reported, need to be discovered. Diseases and epidemics were still largely unavoidable back then, as well as the terrible living conditions many of these children had to endure.

i remember my grampa telling me about the one in alert bay before he passed on, horrid stories, he had a younger sister that was taken around the back of the building, he never saw her again after

[@femalism1715]

Kevin Annett was right. He talked about this years ago, after speaking with much older survivors who actually witnessed and remembered - but Kevin was vilified for sharing the stories.

[@sherunswithscissors]

Kevin’s ‘stories’ do nothing but deflect from what really happened.

[@mathieugrindlay4965]

Phenomenal interview - really gave him an opportunity to speak his mind. Great reporting!

[@megansampson5445]

I want to send him a big hug. I can't imagine children being sent to such a horrible place. My dad was in a Catholic school in Quebec, he said the nuns would paddle him if he upset them and a big BIG difference was when the abuse happened, parents took their kids out of there. Didn't happen in residential schools, they were trapped there and they didn't go home at the end of the day to be fed by their loving families. They lived at these schools. They didn't get to be kids. Many were assaulted/sexually abused as well. They were malnourished/starved probably had to eat spoiled food if they got any food :*( and they were just a number there, a number to be converted and used as laborers. it was a jailed childhood. Should never have happened to anyone. I am so glad our children are safe from that horrible scary place and I hope it never happens again to anyone.

Now all the “schools “ need to be checked, organizations held responsible and Canadians need to stand back and give the indigenous peoples what the need to heal.

"What they need to heal" Agreed. Iam sure they're all still reeling from the crow creek massacre too eh.

[@jimmycanuck5340]

The Catholic Church should be held accountable and not just for an "apology". These children were torn from their homes by the police or other authorities and ultimately murdered by their caretakers. The dead kids are the ones who couldn't have the "Indian" beat out of them. This is beyond heartbreaking.

This is heartbreaking. But why are we assuming murder? The child mortality rate in the 1900’s was much higher. These children likely died if natural causes of illness and disease. Why are we just jumping straight to murder when really no one knows anything. It’s ridiculous.
