00:00Yeah, well, they're about to snatch up a baby.
00:02I haven't ever seen an apprehension before.
00:05You are not allowed to take a first-nation baby when there's a plan in place.

00:11They'd always known that children were being hurt.
00:14They always had solutions, and they chose not to implement those solutions.
