First Nations pilot keeps children in homes under parental removal plan
In Manitoba Misipawistik and Nisichawaysihk Cree Nation adopt a policy of removing parents from troubled homes rather than taking children into foster care. The approach preserves kids in familiar surroundings and aims to reduce child apprehensions while addressing root parental issues. It is proposed as a wake up call for parents and a model that could spread beyond First Nations communities.
