My parents were Baptist missionaries in Whitehorse .....in the "residential schools".....It was a different time........this was the only viable way that the government could afford to educate these remote children....it was the law that all children had to go to school......My parents raised their 4 kids (me and my other siblings).....I lived it!........I know my parents!........My Dad was the kindest, Gentlest man I've ever known.........there was no child abuse.....I got the strap in school.......it was a different time when capital punishment was done in ALL schools........but its possible that abuse may have happened too a few children .........these type of incidents also happen today...there are bad people in the world....BUT dont paint such a broad view of so many well meaning people.......
