Coroner's inquest into death of Devon Freeman continues in Hamilton

The inquest examining the death of Devon Freeman began Monday in the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation, of which he was a member.

Jurors have heard Freeman was reported missing from the Lynwood Charlton Centre group home in the Flamborough area of Hamilton in the fall of 2017.The inquest is expected to look into systemic issues that played a role in the teen's death, including public policy and legal issues related to Indigenous children and youth in the child-welfare system.

On Monday, jurors heard from two experts on child welfare on some of the social and historical factors that contribute to the overrepresentation of Indigenous children in the system.

In other words, water is wet.

RIP, poor baby.😢

An inquest looking to find the system is the issue while completely ignoring how he got placed into custody. Or his parents role. Nah.... it's the system's fault
