PAPA (People Assisting Parents Association http://www.pa-pa.ca/index.html) Similarities Between Residential Schools and Modern "Child Protection": Residential schools provide a shred of evidence to suggest that state-sponsored child removal owes its origin and existence to an oppression of a very hideous nature against a weak and marginalized minority victim. Residential school and state-sponsored child removal bear the following similarities: 1. both are hypocritically done under the pretext of a noble excuse; 2. both are empowered by absolute statutory authority; 3. both involve the use of force should targets ("beneficiaries" as government would like people to believe) dare to resist; 4. Native Indian children and families are the prime victim in both regimes; 5. both require fundings from taxpayers to generate business opportunities for some special interest groups involved in the process; 6. both require removal of young children from their families to beat their parents into submission; 7. both show no respect to the dignity and the free will of the subjects whom these regimes are supposed to help and protect; 8. both are driven by quest of money and power; 9. non-profit groups are involved to provide support and services in exchange of government funding in both regimes; 10. both result in harming, at times, killing vulnerable children in government "care"; 11. both regimes are ineffective, cost inefficient and counter productive to serve their alleged intended cause (but very effective to serve their hidden purposes); 12. both regimes cost taxpayers very dearly on reparation and damages from lawsuits of torts and wrongful deaths; 13. both are inhumane and barbaric; 14. the true beneficiaries in both regimes are the special interest groups, not the intended subjects or the recipients of "service"; 15. special interest groups manipulate legislation and dictate government policies in both regimes; 16. fear, public ignorance and apathy contribute to the success of both regimes.
