Alberta looking at ways to reduce number of Indigenous children in care

 

A number of groups that deal with children in care are meeting to discuss how to curb the number of Indigenous kids who are apprehended each year.

According to provincial statistics, over 70 per cent of the children in care are First Nation, Metis or Inuit.

The Alberta College of Social Workers, the Indigenous Social work committee and Blue Quills University are holding a series of talking circles around the province to discuss ways to reduce that number.

Instead of taking the children away, they should be taking the whole family in and providing such a thing. Just my opinion. It wasnt fully thought out but it’s an idea.
