I would have thought that these kinds of thoughts would be most stressful to people who, themselves, either experienced child abuse or had seen siblings experiencing child abuse. I want to get to the next part of the question, which is about differences as to how mothers are treated according to their race. I would think there is probably a higher incidence of intervention when indigenous women report such things.
I've worked in a lot of emergency rooms. I'm pretty sure that if you had an indigenous woman, routinely, the doctor would refer the case to child care services. It would depend on whether you have indigenous child care services, as we have in Thunder Bay. Other places don't. My guess is that if you're an indigenous woman who says that you're having these thoughts—especially if you, yourself, had a history of child abuse—your chances of having that kid taken away are really a lot higher, but is there evidence for that?
