Major Sus Situation: Man Conceived at Residential School and Dad Sue the Church 💀

The Deets

Alright, fam, get this. A 56-year-old dude and his 72-year-old dad are hitting the Anglican Church with a lawsuit. Apparently, back in '68, the dad was sexually assaulted at St. Michael’s Indian Residential School in Alert Bay by some church employee. That's already a major L.

But wait, it gets even more twisted. The son was born because of the assault and was put up for adoption. Fast forward to 2023, and they finally reunite. Now, they're both claiming the church owes them big time.

The son is saying he lost his Indigenous heritage and a bunch of federal bennies because he didn't know his dad was a status Indian. They're both dealing with major mental health struggles like PTSD, depression, and even suicidal thoughts. The dad had already sued the church back in '06 and got a settlement in '08, but they're saying it's not enough to make things right.

The church is tryna play it cool, saying that the old settlement means they're off the hook. But these guys are calling cap, saying the church promised to work on reconciliation but hasn't done jack. The Attorney General of Canada is also getting dragged into this mess. They're asking for some serious cash for all the pain they've been through, including punitive damages - so the church straight up learns a lesson.
