Indigenous woman claims 12-year-old son, who was handcuffed, was ‘racially profiled’ by police
The mother of a 12-year-old Indigenous boy who was handcuffed by police at B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver says it should have been a safe place for her son, who has autism, but he was pinned to the floor and treated like an adult.
Brown says officers pinned her son to the floor and handcuffed him at “the first sound of his whining,” without first asking him to calm down. “You have to have a high tolerance for a kid who has autism, because they have needs. I ask him what he needs and then we find a solution.”
