Okay folks, I've got to put a trigger warning here. This next paragraph is absolutely brutal - it's physical, sexual abuse and infanticide. :(
This may be a time when we need a new word. Residential school doesn't quite capture the horror, the unbelievable level of physical and sexual abuse or the endless stories from residential schools across Canada of babies conceived in sexual assault being taken from their mothers and thrown into furnaces.
I'd really recommend reading some of the testimony from the survivors. These places were a special form of evil.
