Native American children claiming sexual & physical abuse; agents determined to get kids to recant

From: http://www.facebook.com/SupportSDrez#!/SupportSDrez|Supporting South Dakota Reservations Page

In a basement interrogation room in South Dakota, agents of the state's Department of Criminal Investigation were on the firing line. A group of Native American children were claiming sexual and physical abuse by their white adoptive parents, whose home they first entered as foster children. The agents were determined to get the kids to recant.

To see portion of the video during which the agents are off camera, but caught on an open mic as they plan their interrogation strategy, go to the full article on 100Reporters.com, an investigative news website.

Eric Cantor's objections to including NA women in the VAWA too.

Thanks for posting this, people need to realize what our culture is still doing to the indigenous peoples of this continent, not much has changed over several centuries.
