Not just the states, it’s arguably even a bigger issue in Canada and the cover up is crazy

it's way worse in canada. sex offenders flock to quebec because of laws there designed specifically to protect them. they are allowed to live with children and continue using the internet in many cases and do not have to regularly report or notify any of their neighbors. they've all but decriminalized child molestation there, and the same goes for rapists who went for people of age.

also, due to how easy it is to cross the us/canada border, and how rural it becomes up there once you hit canada, it's a big hotspot for kidnapping and trafficking even if the end destination is nowhere near canada, since they can catch a small plane or get on a boat from there to anywhere in many cases.

I wish we could just all admit this and show empathy and help the Nations solve this in a respectful cooperative manner to everyone's satisfaction.

Yes, it needs to be acknowledged, not just by individuals but also by the federal government, for healing to happen.

something similar to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to address the past and present hurts and crimes committed against all indigenous groups.
