Yes. Death (and rape) camps for children.
[1] This is a very good interview with Murray Sinclair, the former chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission where he states:
"The parents were often not notified that their children have died and little effort was made to get the bodies home"
The government stopped documenting child deaths in 1920 at these "schools" because the death rates were so high. They documented 3,200 child deaths by 1920 but experts estimate the number increased up to 25,000 by the time last residential school closed in 1996.
Could you imagine what it would be like to have the police take your child away to an institution then to never hear from them again?
I'm so sad for the children and parents who had to endure this.
