Super Bowl advertising time is running at $6 million per minute. Someone has donated $16 million worth of time to run this video of Super Bowl Winning Coach Tony Dungy (mp4) promoting adoption during tomorrow's Super Bowl.

The Child Abuse Register, and other lists of malefactors, are available to social workers, but confidential to the general public. Parents cannot view the lists for the protection of their own children and remain in the dark when hiring a babysitter, coach or tutor. But when the parent allows a registered person to care for his child, children's aid can seize it on account of the parents' failure to protect. ]]> http://www.fixcas.com/news/now/news.htm#Marin http://www.fixcas.com/cgi-bin/go.py?2012a.Marin Thu, 02 Feb 2012 22:45:42 GMT February 2, 2012 permalink

In his portrait of Ontario ombudsman André Marin Windsor Star columnist Chris Vander Doelen explains why the current Ontario legislature is a unique opportunity to expand the powers of the ombudsman to the MUSH sector, including children's aid societies. ]]> http://www.fixcas.com/news/now/news.htm#Holden http://www.fixcas.com/cgi-bin/go.py?2012a.Holden Thu, 02 Feb 2012 21:56:59 GMT February 2, 2012 permalink

A California teenager has killed both of his adoptive parents, Susan Poff and Robert Kamin. The enclosed article is a hagiography of the adopters. Both spent their lives helping the poor, she as a physician assistant in a clinic, he as a clinical psychologist for inmates in the San Francisco County Jail system.

But the boy expressed with his actions that the parents were not saints. Since the inside of many American prisons resembles Abu Ghraib, the jail psychologist may have created a similar environment at home. Toward the end, the article says the boy argued with the parents over the amount of time he spent at Occupy Oakland. ]]> http://www.fixcas.com/news/now/news.htm#MacDonald http://www.fixcas.com/cgi-bin/go.py?2012a.MacDonald Thu, 02 Feb 2012 20:39:03 GMT February 2, 2012 permalink

Australians Helen and Brian MacDonald have shown the love that foster parents have for their wards. Because the state is cutting payments for teenagers, they are refusing to provide further care and are turning their foster children back to the state. ]]> http://www.fixcas.com/news/now/news.htm#Warminster http://www.fixcas.com/cgi-bin/go.py?2012a.Warminster Wed, 01 Feb 2012 09:11:56 GMT February 1, 2012 permalink

An eight-year-old boy in Warminster Ontario has attacked his social worker. Even an eight-year-old can understand they are up to no good.

There are not many answers in this story of a high-speed police chase from Fenelon Falls. The one sure part is that children's aid has control of the family's five-year-old boy. ]]> http://www.fixcas.com/news/now/news.htm#Clark http://www.fixcas.com/cgi-bin/go.py?2012a.Clark Wed, 01 Feb 2012 05:20:35 GMT February 1, 2012 permalink

California adopters John and Kathyrn Clark took a baby from a mother who discovered their name and address. They now live in fear of the real mother. The article, entirely sympathetic to the adopters, disparages mother Desiree Salazar. ]]> http://www.fixcas.com/news/now/news.htm#CAN4 http://www.fixcas.com/cgi-bin/go.py?2012a.CAN4 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 05:59:00 GMT January 30, 2012 permalink

Christopher Booker writes on the Indian family in Norway who had their children seized by child protectors. An international hullabaloo resulted in the return of the children to relatives in India. Secrecy in Britain leaves families helpless in the same circumstances. Booker's article is enclosed along with a recent Indian editorial on the Bhattacharya case. Norway social workers tried to get the parents to divorce as a condition of returning the children.

The difference between Britain and Canada? Canada has even stricter secrecy. There are no reporters in Canada doing the work of Mr Booker. We are left to Facebook groups as the only means for aggrieved families to communicate. Those outside the specialized communication channels know nothing of the hundreds of children seized needlessly every week just as in Britain. And just as in Britain, senior ministers can tout "best interest of the child", apparently oblivious to the atrocities taking place under their own watch. ]]> http://www.fixcas.com/news/now/news.htm#Sala http://www.fixcas.com/cgi-bin/go.py?2012a.Sala Sun, 29 Jan 2012 04:36:26 GMT January 28, 2012 permalink
