Your regular reminder that MCFD social workers in BC are exempt from regulation to protect the government from all accountability for child apprehension genocide against Indigenous victims.

It’s been three years since the deaths of Tatyanna Harrison, Noelle O’Soup and Chelsea Poorman.
Their families are no closer to any answers to explain how three young Indigenous people died in the Metro Vancouver area. @jenstden.bsky.social reports.

A good illustration that helps show the sickening dread in my stomach as militarized police forces target and apprehend children and families. ICE, MCFD, 60s Scoop. History is repeating itself in new and horrible ways. This is wrong.
As relevant now as it was when I first illustrated it. Perhaps more so.

One cannot shun societal expectations and then turn around and demand society to accept them. Like WTF.
It starts with community ACTION.
Write letters to MPs and MLAs.
Report any know antivaxxer parents to MCFD because they are purposefully denying their children medical care.

Meet Axze of the MCFD! With his axe head he can cut down any obstacle in his way nothing can't stop this Mixel. Many Mixels think Axze is brave but if you ask his fellow fire-fighters he's actually very stupid and never follows orders or procedures form his superiors.

Kai’s foster parents believe attacks he’s faced by non-Indigenous peers aren’t merely the result of bullying.
His experiences also reflect a history of colonial systems failing to uphold the safety and rights of Indigenous Youth.
