Nimkii's situation is actually quite closely related to the day's theme. It's just that stolen children (boys and girls together) are sometimes considered a separate branch from the (women and girls together) branch. It can be phrased as "missing and murdered aboriginal women and children." The other branch of stolen children is the foster care and adoption fiasco that Nimkii already ran afoul of.
The wider statistics of risk to indigenous women and girls would be something for the Strange Family to consider, because that risk isn't going away and will be higher on a reservation than elsewhere. They're spending roughly a third of the year in a very high-risk environment. O_O
Regrettably human trafficking is one area where Terramagne's problems are worse than here rather than better. Several of the rescued victims from the Iron Horses thread are tribal women/girls, because it's an easy hunting ground with not enough legal pursuit of cases. :/ And that family has already had to deal with Dom's hard kidnapping, stalking, and Nimkii's foster fuckup. Touchy topic.
