IN the NEWS - CATHOLIC SCHOOL: 215 bodies of children found

 ..... for I will not justify the wicked. Exodus 23:7

"The appalling discovery of the bodies of 215 Indigenous children hidden in unmarked graves at the site of the Residential School in
Kamloops, B.C., is irrefutable evidence of a crime against humanity. 
The Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Band confirmed Thursday that ground-penetrating radar had detected the remains of the children on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School, which was operated by the Roman Catholic Church.
 

The residential school system in Canada served as mandatory boarding schools for indigenous youth.....Conditions at the schools were poor.  Many suffered physical and sexual abuse, with staff not being held accountable. The school system began to shut down in the 1970s, and the Kamloops Indian Residential School closed in 1978. When and how the children died is still to be determined, but the rest of the preliminary findings from the grounds survey are expected to be released in mid-June."
