BBC Homepage: Canada police force in racism row over boy's death

Yes, I know that I undertook not to rag on the BBC's grammatical incompetence, but it's a slow news day. If you're trying avoid information overload on the BBC's current obsession, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, that is.

Besides, in this case the error is compounded by being repeated, not once, but twice. So, congratulations go to Holly Honderich, whose opening paragraph trebles-down on the no-shits-given:

A Canada [sic] police force has been accused of ignoring an indigenous mother's warning about leaving her toddler with the man now charged with his death.

In case someone at the BBC wakes up, and tries to make me look foolish:

First paragraph: 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.
The opening paragraph suggests that this isn't the result of a need for brevity.
