Children deserve protection

Good for you Nunavut for trying to change for the better. I hope you know what you’re doing, all of you.

My opinion is that they really need more qualified counsellors in Iqaluit. I was watching Igalaaq tonight and Mrs. Kunuk was being interviewed on how she is helping street kids. Good work Mrs. Kunuk, but there is a better solution for that. My suggestion is that what they really need is “Family and Children Services.”

Children who are neglected, abused and sexually abused should have the care like any other child in Canada. We truly need that for our future children, even if they have to be taken away from their parents – otherwise the cycle is just going ’round and ’round.

Our children in the Arctic are the most important children today if we are going to have a future. A future for a better territory. A territory that needs change. A change where we can grow to a better lifestyle.

Children really do deserve a better way of living. They will be there when we are long gone.
