In Canada, there is a child care organization that is called Children's Aid Society. People unaware of the purpose of CAS beileve that there main objective as stated in their pamphelts is to protect the children and work with the families for eventual re-unification. This is entirely false. While I do admit that the organization is required to protect children against drug-abusing parents, parents who beat the children and victims of severe neglect, I strongly disagree with the scare tactics, the kidnappings by the CAS, the lies, the manipulation, the coercion and otherwise terror they abound within each city of Canada. They are more powerful than the government!!! Government officials fear them, because CAS may one day come after their children. Neighbours in dispute can rat on each other to CAS and have the children removed by CAS. CAS doesn't care, they get more money for every child they take in. In the Quinte West area of Trenton, Ontario, CAS is currently involved with 38% of the families!!! The intake doubled in the last year. This nets CAS in this area a larger budget for next year, because they were needed. You can't write about them in the news or publicize anything to do with them because they'll take you to court and sue you. It doesn't matter how good a parent you are, they will take your children and make a case against you regardless of whether you have given your children the best care in the world. I know of one case where in an access visit the mother kissed the back of the child's neck and strked his leg providing comfort for the child because he was upset he couldn't go home to his mother. They gave credit to the mother for caring for her children. Several visits later, this same occurrence became sexual molestation. The children are not allowed anything in the visit that may be miscontrued as violent, including a bubble maker that just so happened to have a trigger to make it work. It can be purchased in the Walmart toy section and is for ages 2 and up. This mother's children are 8 and 9. The censorship and the conditions the families are subjected to are no more than modern day Naziism and rival some of the best cases of the Salem Witch hunts. In most cases the children are worse off in foster care than when they were at home where there is mental and physical abuse as well as sexual in the extreme cases. Where does it end? It donesn't unless someone, somewhere stands up against them to change the laws to make a level playing field for all involved. It's fair to say that a win for everyone is the return of the children to the family and not to permanent foster care as is the current situation. This is not a win in anyone's eyes except for the budget makers. Please help make a difference by vocing your opinions and concerns. Please, we need your help in changing the lawas and someone to investigate what is really happening.

Thank you.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

* Report Abuse

The letters in this thread are all valid and accurate statements about an organization that is as corrupt as the politicians who do nothing to make positive changes.

When I went to CAS with some legitimate concerns that my children were at risk of harm (abuse related), *I* was removed from the role of primary caregiver, removed from my home and told that my concerns made me an "emotionally abusive" parent. I was told that I was delusional and required a complete psychiatric assessment.

It took *68* days for the CAS to take the matter to court. No offer of supervised visits in the interim (despite 5 day mandatory requirement as set out in CFSA). No answers to my lawyer's MANY written requests and phone calls for details.

In the end, the assessment I received states that my concerns "warranted a complete investigation" and that there was no mental illness at my end. CAS response - close the file.

I have court CAS affidavits that are so falsified they even state that I have MS (multiple sclerosis) that I am in denial of. MS can indeed cause delusions in its advanced stages. Funny thing is I don't have MS and have the MRI to back it up.

I coach soccer, have supply taught in kindergarten classes, hold parties for up to 30 kids that are raved about for years, and live in an executive community (with a former CAS board member as a neighbour). Many people have told me that I am an exemplary parent. There is not a soul alive who would not acknowledge that I got screwed royally last year at the hands of this unaccountable group of vigilante child-haters. I say this because nobody who genuinely cares for children would ever act in such a callous manner.

That I got screwed and had my credibility questionned is little in comparison to how their actions affected my two children, now 11 and 8.

When there is increased frequency that an organizations that purports to be about protecting children turns on those who go to them with concerns, something must be done. The only thing I can surmise from the actions I've experienced and researched is that there are actually case workers within CAS who are in the business of protecting abusers at any cost and supplying abusers with vulnerable children.

I am happy to share my experiences with anyone in want of support or further details. I can be reached at lisasotherlife@gmail.com

Kudos to all of you who speak out on behalf of the children.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

Dear Fellow Canadians:

I am sitting here in my office with tears streaming down my face for our country. Who, in their most hellish nightmares, would ever have thought that anyone would feel the need to flee Canada for fear of persecution - especially religious persecution? Flee Canada? Canada? This is Canada, the beacon of freedom and understanding for the entire world. People fight, steal, lie, sometimes even die as they do anything they can to come to Canada - yet 26 mothers and 74 children have left Canada - because they are afraid that the state, as represented by the Children's Aid Society and going to seize their children, take them away from their family. This is Canada? This is the country I was born in, grew up in, live in, believe in?

I only wish I could have died before I ever heard this news. Please someone - tell me this isn't true.

Windsor Ontario is an affluent little community on the Great Lakes. It has 1500 children in care and CAS involvement with 1 in 8 ie. one in 4 families. It has one of the largest child social welfare agencies in North America. This Agency has built a glass monument to itself on the waterfront. It looks like the Windsor Casino.

Everyone in this community on penalty of fine or loss of license must report suspicion of child abuse. If your baby has a 2 year old melt down in public, you must be doing something wrong. Mothers are afraid to go to emergency with their children for fear of being accused. One cannot disclose anything to friends, doctor, lawyer, teacher, counselor, minister etc. They are all required to report. The TV ads tells abused women to go to Hiatus House but they do not tell them that their children will be apprehended within to weeks for witnessing spousal abuse.

Neighbors call the CAS on little Arab women who speak loudly to their children in arabic. The worker arrives and starts her checklist of questions about physical, emotional and sexual abuse. All parents are treated with suspicion; they cannot be trusted.

The school systems ask the little ones to keep a journal about their families. The teachers then use this information to call the CAS. Puppet shows describing sexual abuse make the rounds routinely at the school. These five-year-olds are not equipped to interpret this information. This results in more calls to the CAS. Children who are spanked are instructed to call 911 so that their parents can be charged.

The CAS here is busy opening files and doing investigations. It is handsomely rewarded for everyone file opened and kept open. It strikes gold when it apprehends "a special needs child." In fact, it labels every child it apprehends as "a special needs" child.

It must provide services to all these "special needs children." The Ontario government in its wisdom has canceled access to services for "children with parents.". The services that remain, lead directly to CAS. If your child requires children's mental health services, one has to terminate one's parental rights to access them. The belief is that the parent must be responsible for the mental health issue.

The government tries to deflect attention away from the environment pollution issues in this community which are probably responsible for the increased incidence of autism, mental disorders, ADHD, and learning disabilities seen in this community.

The United Nations Convention on the Child has critiqued Canada repeatedly for its selective implementation of the Convention. Canada as a signer to the Convention must fulfill its obligations completely. If it cannot fulfill all its obligations, it should withdraw its signature. It needs to provide services to all children regardless of parental status.

Canada is using the UN Convention on the Child to create a large children's social welfare system.

These children are then warehoused in smoked filled basements. They are fed canned hot dogs, spam, and canned potatoes. No one cares what they are doing in school. How do I know? It happened to my child.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

My little girls where being abused.

I have evidence of this which is extremely compelling. Despite this the Children's Aid would not protect the children from their abuser and I was even told to ignore their complaints of the abuse.

When I started to present this to people as far a the premiere of Ontario and threatened to hold them civilly accountable for failing to protect, the CAS retaliated and kidnapped my children on purely false allegations.

There are doctors supporting me, councilors supporting me, psychiatrists supporting me and people who I previously did not even know came forward to testify on my behalf.

They all claim I was an exceptional parent who they deem to be above average and I in no way have any mental illnesses.

Irrespective of this the CAS still accuses me of having a mental illness and I am a risk to my children.

To this day I only see my wonderful little girls for only 2 hours a week in a little room. Today my oldest daughter could not be hugged because she has 2nd degree burns on her back. This is gross negligence. What kind of irresponsible parent could let this happen.

Even more disturbing is the CAS feels their mother and their abuser are safe adults for my children to be parented by and I am a risk.

PLEASE A&E we are crying out to you to expose this injustice that happens in Canada. There are countless people and their children crying for justice.

Please help us.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

Regarding CAS corruption:
Yes, it is true! CAS have now become the Gustoppo! They invade your home, your world, your privacy! They interfere in what you are trying to accomplish with your children/family.
Quick points of do's & don'ts:
1. Do sign the documents (with your lawyer) that permits you into court once your child(ren) have been taken
2. Don't sign the "medical" & "Adoption" papers they flash at you once they have apprehended your child(ren) & and don't talk to them about the/your problem! The CAS staff are NOT your friends!
3. A quick way to get your child(ren) back may be this: (try it) Tell the CAS they are now the parent of your child(ren) and that your child has a life threatening allergy/disease (anything!) and being that they are the parent now, they must figure it out and if they don't your child(ren) will die! & they will be liable because you the parent have not signed any forms and thus have not given them any rights over your child(ren)! They can not do any medical treatment on your child if you don't sign the "Medical" papers! (I believe, but am not 100% certain). This 'might' help get them back sooner! However, no guarantee with CAS. Don't help them along with your case! Once they have your child think of it as now a "case". CAS loves everything as a "case study management". In other words, they like everything to be studied! & disected!
4. Don't confess the truth about your case to your CAS officer,or your lawyer - they have a duty to report & if you confess you sins to the lawyer, they may have you punished. They must report abuse also! They are not your saving grace!
5. Don't, Don't, Don't!!! sign the "Agreed Statement of Fact" as your lawyer will encourage you to sign as you agree with the facts, don't you! (This is reverse psychology here!) To agree with the facts set out in this document is to 'shoot yourself in the head' as you have just agreed with the court and therefore go ahead and give me my punishment. This punishment could mean you may never see your child(ren) again. And it could also mean that your case will now go to another court for you or any other persons, ie live in spouse, relative to be tried in that court(if named in your case!). You may find you have over inflated charges on you that shouldn't be there! But in a court of law "The true truth of the law is what is made to be the truth in a court of law!" Did you understand that?! (as I heard some law students say!) and a further quote was: A judge will never know if I'm lying (in a court of law)!!!! In other words, like the painter to canvas, what the CAS lawyer, CAS staff (witnesses), you, your lawyer (if you get an unbiased one - GOOD LUCK!!!!!!) SAY IN A COURT OF LAW in your case WILL NOW BECOME THE TRUTH & forever burned on the books in the courthouse & only you know that the system "made a mountain out of a mole hill"!!and this should have never happened to your family! DO ASK YOUR LAWYER FOR THE OTHER OPTION. The other option is to ask for "TRIAL". Don't be surprized if your lawyer withdraws. Your case may cost you any amount of money to prove your innocence! I've heard one was over $30,000, another $50,000. But what is better - to go to jail on stupid charges or have to visit your parole officer & loose your children and your past life!
6. Do try to keep your sanity!!! Don't have a nervous breakdown!
7. Don't use "Parent Alienation Syndrome" on the other parent if your in a marriage break-up. CAS love this and will actually give the children to the abuser!!!! Because of course your are using any tactic to obtain your child(ren), aren't you! That's what they will see it as. When you are trying to protect your child(ren) from the abuser, they don't do as your expect and help you protect these children but actually, as I said, throw them back to the abuser. & say you have the problem! You are the lier!
Don't go to HIATUS HOUSE or any other Women's Shelters as they will call CAS as you have no home now and are on the run. Shelters are for only very short stays! and CAS sees these places as not suitable for children and these places are required to call CAS! Stay with a friend or family (PS try finding a shelter if your a man with children in tow! - impossible!)
8. Do FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!!! Research & dig about facts, the laws and also know this: search the websights under: UNITED NATIONS, then go in under the "Convention" on the "Best interests of the Children". This is why CAS And Canada have changed the laws since 1990, 1995, & 1999! The Convention is what Canada is answering too on child poverty.
9. Most people/families are profiled: low income, no jobs, divorced parents, no family support from other relatives, etc

Keep your chin up & fight for your rights and your children. If you loose your children now, seek them out in the future!!!
And my saga continues, I should know, I live in Windsor Ontario Canada where I have stepped into the vehemoth monster of Windsor-Essex CAS situated on lovely Detroit River in their new fancy building that requires children to be picked up daily in order to pay for this building as the donations have not come in as budgeted for!!

THE live video footage taken in the maternity ward by the father of the newborn child is deeply shocking. It shows his wife lying peacefully, but exhausted, on the bed after her caesarean, their baby still covered in vernix cradled in her arms. Suddenly, a policeman, in uniform, accompanied by a social worker, burst through the door. The next scene is the most heart-wrenching: the baby is gone and the mother lies slumped and defeated on the maternity ward floor.



Child welfare campaigner Penny Mellor pushes the pause button on her remote control. She has seen the disturbing images of this mother, who subsequently came to her for help, many times. But they tear her apart each time.



"Why did they have to take her baby in that barbaric way?" she asks, her face creased in anguish and anger. "Why did they have to take the baby away at all?" According to Penny, at least six British mothers of whom she knows personally - including Karen Haynes, whose dramatic story we featured last week - have had their newborn babies snatched from them at childbirth in this inhumane manner. A further six mothers, including Sally Clark who was wrongfully jailed for smothering her sons Harry and Christopher, have lost their liberty and been sent to prison for infanticide.



And she knows of more than 100 mothers who, in the past six years, have had their older children taken from them by family courts and put into care.



All of this has happened, she says scathingly, because of incorrect or insufficiently proven allegations of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (MSbP).



Unlike Munchausen Syndrome, a rare malady where a depressed mother is said to harm herself as a perverse cry for help, in MSbP a mother is said to cause harm, not to herself, but to her children.



Almost all of these "tragic" child removals have been sanctioned on the say-so of experts, the main one being Sir Roy Meadow, the inventor of MSbP back in 1977, and whose evidence and use of statistics was revealed after Sally Clark successfully appealed against her conviction in the High Court.



Until the release of Sally Clark last month, Penny was a feisty voice in the wilderness coming to the aid of terrified mothers gagged by the family courts. She is currently helping 50 such mothers fight social services' departments up and down the country, which, she says are armed with nothing more than an opinion by Sir Roy and are threatening to take away their children.



These 50 mothers do not have a history of child abuse; their children have neither physical scars nor burns or blemishes. Rather, they are ordinary mothers - middle class and working class - who keep on pestering their doctors for answers to their children's undiagnosed illness and who, one day, out of the blue, suddenly find themselves stigmatized with the poisonous allegation of MSbP.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
