Summary:
During the initial stage of the pandemic, the author was in Inuvik, and their house was visited by the police to inform their mom about the lockdown. However, since the author was in their room at the time, they were not aware of the lockdown. Not knowing about the pandemic, the author and their sibling went to the park, where they were the only ones outside. They noticed someone watching and calling someone on their phone. The author informed their sibling, and after 30 minutes, the police approached them and asked for their address. They were then driven back home, where their mom was informed, and they were charged. Fortunately, the bill was covered by social services, but the author had their belongings taken away as a consequence.

When the pandemic first started, I was in Inuvik (up north). The police went to my house and talked to my mom about going into lockdown. I wasn’t informed of the lockdown because I was in my room when the police talked to my mom. Later that day, me and my sibling went to the park because no one had told us about the pandemic. We saw no one outside so we were out there with everyone watching us. I saw someone with a phone watching us and calling someone. I informed my siblings and 30 minutes later the police told us to get in the car and ask where we lived and I told them. They drove us home and told my mom and after that we got charged and my mom got mad at us but the bill was covered by social services. I got my stuff taken away in the end.
