Reply to comment by baxterstate in Sask. teen sentenced for killing his pregnant mom by nosotros_road_sodium

There is a good chance this boy grew up in a cesspool of drug addiction, alcoholism and sexual abuse. That all of these things happened under his roof on a regular, if not daily, basis. That he not only had these things happen to him, but he had to witness it happen to his siblings as well.

It's not a bold assumption to make when you grew up in Sask and are familiar with Northern communities and the people who live there.

Is that common in Saskatchewan?

In Northern Saskatchewan, yes. Very much so.

Even in the rest of the province, it's pretty bad. Saskatchewan has the highest rates of domestic violence, child abuse and intravenous drug use in the entire country. There is an extremely unfortunate overlap with the fact the province also has the highest Native population in the country. You can draw your own conclusions from that.

Poverty and institutional racism stretching back generations?

Ding ding ding!

You are absolutely correct and when people talk about how genocide is still ongoing stuff like this is what they mean.

Sounds like it. Google says that Saskatchewan has the highest crime rate in Canada, if that means anything in context.
