Children taken because of mentally ill brother
A couple in Kamloops had their three youngest children removed by the B.C. government after they gave shelter to their violent, mentally ill adult son, who had been turned away from government care.

"We were backed into a corner," said the children's mother, Leah Flagg. "We had to choose between the well-being of one child or our other children."

Leah and Steve Flagg have four children, aged 11 to 20. Leah said her oldest son, Trevor, has brain damage and has been diagnosed with several types of mental illness. She said he can be paranoid, obsessive and violent.

"We're a lot better at it than we were 10 years ago," said Coleman. "We've actually gone to a different form of contract management that is saving us a lot of money that we can actually put back into services for people.

3. I guess
everyone that posts on hate sites like he did is mentally ill wouldn't you agree ? Why does the CBC not report the facts instead of a sympathy story ? Sorry the CBC is a embarrassment to the country and a dinosaur from our past we need to get rid of .

4. I would argue CTV News is an embarassment to the country. It's like the media wing of the Con Party.

6. They're both embarrassing...
One spouts Liberal lies, the other spouts Tory lies, none spout socialist truths.
