This is the best summary I could come up with:


A Sayisi Dene woman was left feeling shaken and sore after she alleges Winnipeg police officers verbally and physically attacked her during an early morning confrontation in her home.

When she answered the door, six police officers were standing in her yard and told her they had received a complaint from multiple people that there was a young, unsupervised child outside, she said.

Video footage shared with CBC News shows Tom answering the door again, which led to four officers entering her home.

In an email to CBC, Chancy said officers were completing a well-being check on a child, who was possibly two years old, that was observed sitting alone outside at night.

She thinks the police got the wrong address, that it could have been a prank call, or that a neighbour's child became interested in the children's slide, picnic table and other toys in her grassy yard.

Tom, who said she's experienced abusive relationships in the past and has been sober for years, sat on the floor crying once the police left.
