5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 8:06 PM CDTParent blames racism for allegations of bullying at teens’ trip
5 minute read Yesterday at 5:13 PM CDTA woman who says her teenage son was filmed during an alleged bullying incident while on a camping trip near Norway House First Nation has alleged the situation has been blown out of proportion and blamed it on anti-Indigenous racism.
Meaghen Jones’ 16-year-old son was one of the students who went on a multi-day “truth and reconciliation” student exchange trip from Sept. 28 to Oct. 2. It connected students from Elm Creek School and Helen Betty Osborne Ininiw Education Resource Centre, a Frontier School Division nursery-to-Grade 12 school in Norway House, about 200 kilometres south of Thompson.
A parent, who talked to the Free Press Thursday, said Elm Creek boys had been spanked, slapped, “dry-humped” and threatened by students from the Norway House school, and that a video of the harassment had circulated throughout the school community.
Jones said she hasn’t seen the video, but her son was part of the group that was allegedly bullied.
