Couple Facing Charges Related to Child’s Death and Injuries at Spirit Lake, ND
Social services put them there blame them..
ICWA sets very low standards for Indian Children….VERY LOW. And Raven paid for it. Just say it….
I have only one thing to dispute and that's the emotional reaction. Many of our Native people who were raised on the reservations may not display the classic emotional reactions that the majority society has. Some of us are raised to hide emotions, especially the boarding school generation.
When my sister was murdered by her acquaintances while out partying, my dad did not react. He stayed calm. To this day, he has not lost this veneer. Yes, of course he was grieving.
He did cry later on.
The initial stages were of shock and denial, and that's probably what the foster parents felt when the two kids were discovered dead and injured, but they reacted for themselves and the blood that is staining their hands. Even if the crime was committed by someone else, the culture of silence surrounding murder in general needs to go away. I know what it's like to be the one receiving bad news.
Just saying that not all emotional reactions are typical.
That's all I have to say. Aho.
So sad! We need to do better at protecting our children.
So sad that little Raven had to die and her brother had to be injured because no one checked on the poor children?
so – they can beat a child to death and severely abuse numerous others and only get charged with simple assault because they did it in "Indian Country"???? WTH????
