Ottawa police working with Children's Aid Society around concerns for children in convoy.
Ottawa police say almost 25 per cent of the 418 trucks still involved in the ongoing demonstration downtown have children in them, which has hampered the force's response and led to concerns about the children's safety.
Bell also turned his focus to the children of protesters. Over the weekend, bouncy castles were set up near Parliament Hill to help entertain the children who remain. Bell said police are working the Children's Aid Society of Ottawa regarding those children.
"It's something that greatly concerns us," Bell said, as first responders are worried about the constant exposure to carbon monoxide, fumes, noise levels and the sanitation of the children.
"We'll rely on the Children's Aid Society to help provide and give us guidance around that. We just think it's an important factor that complicates and makes this an even more challenging operation."

Concern for the safety of minors isn't "targeting kids" but a basic priority. I guess one propaganda fluff piece deserves another.
Nothing to see here except Canadian state employees doing what literally all state employees do. Especially when it involves 9 straight days of diesel fumes and negative temperatures. But thanks to GSG fund raising nobody is in danger unless the police do it to them.
