It's called "Life on the Rez", too.
And that's not racist - it's realistic and its the way things are for many native youth.

I must ask you, why is that? You seem to have knowledge...about the natives.

Why is what? Why is that "life on the Rez"? or Why do I have knowledge about the natives?

Re: Amber Alert for a pregnant 14-year-old
By having the last name of Mosquito and living in Saskatchewan, does that make one automatically native? And are all people named Hanson automatically non-natives?
I've never been to SA. so I have to ask.

News report (Amber Alert) stated she was an aboriginal girl and that the boy was non-aboriginal.
It's possible to do all the right things and still get a bad result.

Re: Amber Alert for a pregnant 14-year-old
I don't have personal knowledge of that area, but I would guess given the aboriginal population in Saskatchewan that there is a reservation in the vicinity. Doesn't mean the family lived there. I don't recall that being mentioned in the news stories.
Whether the family lived on the "rez" or not, there are a myriad of possible reasons, some more complex than others, why this girl is pregnant at age 13...besides the obvious one, or course.

Re: Amber Alert for a pregnant 14-year-old
To me it's no more complex than lack of proper parenting supervision. Who let's their thirteen year old "date" a sixteen year old for an entire freaking year? And where were his parents? Oh ya we saw that his mom thinks the boy had a perfectly logical explanation to go to a house an forcibly remove his underage girlfriend.
I'll bet the RCMP have a great story now.

Indeed that's possible. But it is the "whys" of the lack of parenting supervision that may provide insight into this situation.

Suspect in Amber Alert sent away
by The Canadian Press - Story: 85859
Jan 14, 2013 / 2:37 pm
A 16-year-old boy has been sent to a youth home until his next court date in the alleged abduction of his 14-year-old pregnant girlfriend who was the subject of an Amber Alert in Saskatchewan last week.
The youth appeared in court in Swift Current where his case was put over.
He is not allowed to leave the Rock Solid Refuge facility in Shaunavon, Sask., unless he is with a youth home worker.
The teen -- along with another teen -- is charged with abduction of a person under 16 years of age, breaking and entering and disguise with intent.
One of them is also charged with possession of a weapon dangerous to the public.
The boy's mother is charged with abduction of a person under 16 years of age and obstruction of a police officer.
All three accused are to next appear in court in Maple Creek, Sask., on Feb. 14.
The Youth Criminal Justice Act prohibits naming underage suspects or anyone whose name could identify the youths.
It's alleged the girl -- who is eight months pregnant -- was forcibly taken from her family's home by her boyfriend last Wednesday night.
Both were brought to police the following evening.
The boy and girl in this case had been previously identified in news reports after police issued the Amber Alert seeking the girl's safe return. Her identity is also protected under the act unless parents give consent to her being named.
The alert was issued after the girl's family reported a pair of intruders wearing ski masks burst into the home demanding the girl pack some clothes and leave with them.
The family told police that one of the culprits, who was wielding a small wooden bat, walked through the home and found the girl in a room.
The boy's mother has told reporters her son, who is the father of the girl's child, would never hurt the girl and called the whole situation a misunderstanding.

The girl has 8 siblings, that may tell you something.

The mother is still saying, "the whole thing is a misunderstanding". That speaks volumes.

I'll keep waiting. Nothing smart is coming out of this, but they still have to iron out some of the absurdity. Charges only mean an initial reaction to what occurred, and they may be kept and perhaps not. I'll be interested to hear the whole story in the end, just for curiosities sake.
