Tanner Brass: Canada police force in racism row over boy's death [View all]
A Canada police force has been accused of ignoring an indigenous mother's warning about leaving her toddler with the man now charged with his death.
Tanner Brass was found dead hours after police arrested his mother, Kyla Frenchman, when she argued with them about her son's safety, she said.
The boy's father, Kaij Brass, has been charged with second-degree murder.
Indigenous leaders say Ms Frenchman was racially profiled and have demanded the local police chief's resignation.
Two Canadian police officers in the city of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, have been suspended.
Police responded to reports of a domestic dispute in the early hours of 10 February and found Ms Frenchman standing outside the apartment building, she said.
Ms Frenchman told the officers she had been kicked out of her apartment and feared her 13-month-old son was in danger.
