The subject of child protection  is not often in the  media,
       and when it is, it is usually to print puff pieces or stories planted  by
       the child protection  industry itself.  Here  we have carefully	selected
       those media sources that report seriously on the subject.

		This is a short video  taken this morning in Stratford,  of
		how corrupt  the CAS  is with their  legalized kidnapping.   I
		have voluntarily handed  my 3 yr.  old	Grandson over to  them
		this morning, as a  Cancer Patient they  did not offer me  any
		help in the care of him other than telling me if I wanted help
		I would have  to apply	for Welfare, which  I'm not on.   They
		have alienated these  2 brothers against  each other who  have
		lived with their Mother  since birth, without assistance  from
		either of the  boys Dad's.  CAS and  the Lawyer involved  have
		denied	my Daughter  her  Charter of  Rights  and failed  this
		Family on every level possible.

	      in risky	behaviors requiring him  to spend  a month in  British
	      Columbia	respite care  at  the  mother's  request.  At  age  12
	      Sheilah's work took her to Saskatchewan where she found her  son
	      had stolen $700 on her  VISA bill.  Resorting to tough love  she
	      reported	him  to  the  local  police,  expecting  an  overnight
	      detention followed by a court hearing.  Instead a social	worker
	      intervened and  kept mother and  son apart  for nine days  until
	      their  first meeting,  and  three weeks  in  foster care.   When
	      Sheilah showed  the social worker  her bulky  file on her  son's
	      mental health problems the worker said:  "I'm not interested  in
	      anything you  have  to say".   When  the boy  tried  to use  the
	      bathroom	at night,  his	unexpected  discovery of  another  boy
	      already  inside led  to  his  punishment	as a  sexual  deviant.
	      According  to   Sheilah,	child  protectors   deny  parents  the
	      protections that the RCMP  allows to accused offenders.	Posted

   Oregon father Mark  recorded a 16 minute	meeting with CPS.   It
	      illustrates the futility	of discussing a  case with CPS.   They
	      could not justify their seizure  of his baby with a single  past
	      or future action of the  father.	CPS got YouTube to remove  the
	      video on grounds that it violated "privacy".  It was uploaded to
	      hugedrive.com by Michael Garibaldi.  Below is Mark's letter from
	      jail, following his arrest on October 2, 2008.
	      
		Hello.  My name is Mark.   My baby was kidnapped by CPS  on
		July 16,  2008 with  no  claim of  abuse or  neglect.  I  have
		informed CPS, and proved on the record, that they do not  have
		authority or jurisdiction  over this baby  to remove him  from
		his parents.  It  is a blatant	invasion, without cause,  onto
		the  sanctity of  family.   The CPS  workers  ignored me,  and
		conspired  with  the "judge"  to  rig  the  game so  it  looks
		legitimate - i.e.  - covering up their crimes.	I have exposed
		their  crimes.	 Now  they   have  retaliated  by  getting  me
		arrested.  They have altered court records, falsified my  name
		and address and residency  status, and thereby have caused  me
		to not be included in their kangaroo court process.  I	caught
		them in  this deceit  and exposed them	and the  judge on  the
		record for fraud.  On Oct 2,  at 9:30pm, 4 armed police and  a
		dog attacked  me outside  my home.   Without announcing  their
		purpose or intent they physically attacked me, threw me around
		the deck area, hit  me, tossed me  over a table and  generally
		demonstrated their violent inclinations.   It is 6 days  later
		and   my  wrists  are	still  bruised	from   the  vindictive
		over-tightening  of  the  handcuffs.   AFTER  all  this,  they
		informed me they  had a  warrant for the  arrest of the  false
		name that they	assigned to  me.  The charges:	 "Intercepting
		Communications" - A  MISDEMEANOR!  And	they executed it  with
		this much  violence?  I  later discovered CPS  workers are  so
		desperate that they falsely accused me of threatening to  blow
		up the court house!  These people are sick, psychotic and VERY
		dangerous.  As promised,  I will continue  to speak out,  even
		from jail.  CPS must  be abolished.  And, the criminal	agents
		must be  put in  prison for  kidnapping.  Join	the battle  to
		expose them.

   Posted to YouTube September 19,  2008.  A father visits his  son
	      in an observation  chamber.  The circumstances  are the same  as
	      for fatehr Mark in the  October 2 video above.  The man  posting
	      the video comments:
	      
		The last visit of  Dad with his  baby.  CPS cut off	visits
		after	receiving  a  "psych   eval"  that  was   nothing  but
		regurgitated  rhetoric handed  to  the	doctor by  the	social
		worker.  Notice "The  Room" that is the  same "Room" all  over
		the globe!   This poor little  baby doesn't  even have a  name
		yet!  Can any  sane human  even think that  this poor baby  is
		better off in "foster slavery" than with his own parents?   He
		has a happy 2-parent home  with a mother and father that  love
		him with  all their  heart.   There is	no claim  of abuse  or
		neglect!  The "State" didn't  even know this baby existed  for
		certain until  they hijacked  the mother in  a parkinglot  and
		ripped the baby  away from her.  On  accusation from a	social
		worker from another state that there are other children  being
		held  hostage,	so  this  baby	might  be  at  risk!?	Might?
		Possible?  Can	we say	"prior restraint" and  "denial of  due
		process"?   How  about	"failure  to  provide  pre-deprivation
		hearing"?  How about outright "Kidnapping"!?
		
The whole "evaluation" crap is a complete fraud.  How is it
		that a father should  have to prove  himself fit to raise  his
		own  children?	 Are  the "caretakers"	and  "foster  parents"
		subject  to these  evaluations?   Why is  a  Parent forced  to
		undergo stricter  criteria  than a  complete  stranger to  the
		child?
		
The	social worker's  husband  is  DIRECTOR of  the	county
		corrections department.  He came knocking IN PERSON on	Friday
		to intimidate and harass!  He has a staff of psuedo-cops  that
		do in-person contacts for  probation matters, but he comes  15
		miles in  person?  The	Director of the  department?  Tell  me
		this isn't harassment!	No contract = criminal conduct.   They
		are trying to use  Baby to coerce  and intimidate Dad and  Mom
		into a	contract!  "Just  sign this  agreement for  visitation
		requirements..." CRIMINALS!

   December 14,  2007.  YouTube.   The  story of  a Florida	family
	      wrecked	  by	DCF.	  Also,     see    the	   
Douglass blog.
	      
		CPS, CIPS, DCF, DSS, DCFS,  or whatever name they go by  in
		your area, have  taken children away  from parents because  of
		unfounded  accusations.  Municipalities  also  "put people  in
		their place" to protect the drug trade!
		
Friends of mine have been to scared to take their  children
		to the hospital  because of an injury  that occurred.  Due  to
		the corruption of DCF and CPS.
		
One story of a friend had  a four wheeler flip onto his  14
		yr old son.
		
He split his head and was bleeding, wanting to go to sleep.
		The Father  and mother	cried for hrs  while doing  everything
		they could to  help the wound, because	they were afraid  they
		would lose their children to DCF.
		
There are MANY more stories like this all over Florida that
		are happening everyday.
		
Another friend has a 3  year old daughter who was  spinning
		in an office chair, fell down and put a bump on her head,  the
		Father and Mother were to scared to take her to the  emergency
		room because they  were afraid of DCF  stepping in and	taking
		their children on unfounded accusations.
		
Until we  have honest  employees, or at  least an  internal
		affairs group  for DCF,  people's  children are  in danger  of
		suffering at  the hands  of  lying DCF	employees.  What  will
		happen to these children who need medical help and the parents
		are to afraid to take  their children to the hospital  because
		of being falsely accused and losing their children.
		
A missionary friend was to  fly in to Florida to preach  in
		our area.  He had been praying for our family with his family.
		An 8 year old son was going to fly in with him, but the day of
		his flight  leaving, his  son found  out they  were coming  to
		Florida and would  not get  on the plane.   He said, "I  don't
		want to go where people take children from the Dad and Mom's."
		He cried excessively until his father told him he did not have
		to go.
		
SOMEONE WHO CAN....HELP SAVE THE AMERICAN FAMILY!
		
DCF is Destroying Children and Families.

   The  video  is lost,  but  the  audio  tells the	story  of  two
	      Connecticut  families  reporting their  experiences  with  child
	      protectors, including:
	      
	      - lawyers who do not represent their clients
	      
- a mother had to  attend court alone, without family  members
		  or a lawyer
	      
- gag orders preventing parents  from reporting their case  to
		  law enforcement or political representatives

           paperbag
      
   This is an audio/video clip in wmv format of a woman speaking to
	      the  camera with	a  paper  bag over  her  head to  protect  her
	      identity.  She  describes the  flight of her  family from  child
	      protectors.  This clip is authentic because it came from Leonard
	      Henderson of  the American  Family Rights  Association.  With  a
	      low-speed  connection,  download	the file  before  playing  it.
	      Later  news  showed that	this  video  was  by mother  
Lynnae  Lake  protecting  her

   On July 8, 2004 police went  to the home of Lester Eugene  Siler
	      in Tennessee.  They asked  his wife to  leave with his child  so
	      that they could  speak to him alone.   Before leaving, his  wife
	      turned on  a tape  recorder, creating the  linked recording  (19
	      megabytes mp3).  It  includes threats,  probably now routine  in
	      police work, to harm  the suspect's wife	and child.  This is  a
	      very disturbing recording, not for the squeamish.

		you what's gonna happen.  If you don't	sign, I'm gonna go right back there where  your
		wife's at, and	I'm gonna put  her ass in  jail.  I'm calling  the Department of  Human
		Services and I'm gonna take your fucking kids from you today.
		
	      and later:

To apprehend a child, the  Children's Aid requires a warrant,  though
	   they  rarely get  one.   Criminal and  Family  lawyer Brigitte  Gratl
	   discusses how and why the CAS apprehends children illegally, and gets
	   away with it in court.  Part 2 discusses the subjectivity of why many
	   children  are  apprehended  by   the  Children's  Aid  Society.   She
	   questions whether a worker's perspective becomes skewed to the  point
	   of making irrational decisions, and the unfair scrutiny that a mother
	   and/or father  is  often subjected  to.  Posted  to	vimeo by  Esther

	      Motherhood Interrupted
	      She was 19 years old,  pregnant and unmarried and the world  was
	      unforgiving.   It  was  the  sixties  and  Sharon  Pederson  was
	      literally tossed	out in	the snow  and turned  into a  domestic
	      slave.  She was  lectured and demeaned.  And  when her baby  was
	      born, social workers forced her  to sign her away.  Hundreds  of
	      young women were forced to  hand over their babies for  adoption
	      in Canada.  Today in our documentary, we bring you the story  of
	      one woman  who can't forget.   
— CBC  blurb from The  Current
	      with Anna Maria Tremonti.
	      
In  common with  many	exposés of  past  abuse, there	is  no

	      justifications altered.

	      forced to give up  her baby for  adoption because she was  young
	      and single.   That story	unleashed a flood  of similar  stories
	      from other mothers,  children and  adoptive parents alike.   And
	      according to The	Current's Kathleen  Goldhar, they're just  the
	      tip of the iceberg.   We hear from her and  also get to some  of

	      Far better  to tell  nothing to  the investigator,  and to  make

   Posted May 29, 2008.  When hundreds of children were seized from

	      reported that  sixteen-year-old Sarah, was  forcibly married  as

	      15 and was pregnant again,  she was beaten by her husband  while
	      other women held her baby,  children were locked in closets  and
	      deprived of nutrition,  there was a conjugal  bed in the	temple
	      where marriages were consummated and most of the teenaged  girls
	      were pregnant or already mothers.  Eventually every one of these
	      accusations  was found  to  be  false.   When the  Texas	courts
	      ordered the  children returned  for lack of  evidence of	abuse,

     Forced Adoption UK.  Published on Mar 23, 2015
	      
Great Britain is  one of two  European countries where  “forced
	      adoption” takes place,  whereby a  child’s biological parents  are
	      given no say in the decision.  The alleged motive for the practice
	      is putting the child’s  interests first but opponents insist  that
	      social workers often  abuse their powers	simply to meet	targets.
	      Many families have been forced  to flee the country, just to  keep
	      their kids.

   Protecting Our Children (BBC),  January 2012.  BBC video is  not
	      available  to Canadians  but  the  magnet  link will  work  with
	      bittorrent.
	      
The video by  the BBC is sympathetic  to social workers,  but
	      manages to show many abuses of the child protection system.  The
	      opening announces  correctly that  social workers  are the  most
	      hated professionals.   The BBC  elected to  film the  case of  a
	      culturally downscale  family  with an  obese mother,  minimizing
	      viewer  sympathy	for  the  targets,  Mike,  Tiffany  and  their
	      three-year-old son Toby.	Mike  catches on immediately with  his
	      statement "You are out to wreck us", though it takes the workers
	      themselves and the BBC a lot longer.  When parents can't explain
	      a bruise it is a point against them.  Experts who have seen  the
	      child for  minutes claim	more authority than  parents who  have
	      watched a child for  years.  The family has  to put up with  new
	      people entering their home regularly.  At a case conference, the
	      two unassisted parents have no chance of prevailing in a meeting
	      staffed with  a half-dozen professionals	from social  services.
	      Workers  in the  meeting	use the  word  "services" to  indicate
	      orders delivered	under threat.	"Only  a judge	can decide  to
	      remove  Toby from  his  parents" says  the  narrator, though  in
	      hundreds of real	cases examined by  fixcas, all child  removals
	      occurred	before	the  parents  had  an  opportunity  to	defend
	      themselves in court.  Social workers say the home is dirty,  yet
	      the parts shown by the camera are sanitary.  Social workers  try
	      to sucker dad  into giving his  son up for  one night of	foster
	      care while  Tiffany is  hospitalized, but he  refuses.  Toby  is
	      never fooled, he knows it's trouble when the workers try to take
	      him.  "See you  in court"  says the defiant  dad.  No way.   The
	      court acts  ex parte,  and he never  sees anything.   The
	      workers have fresh evidence of  abuse:  dad put Toby's shoes  on
	      the wrong feet.  Toby goes into foster care and the parents  are
	      reduced to three hours visitation  a week, visitation with a  social worker taking notes
	      on a  pad.  Tiffany gives  birth after  Toby is seized,  and
	      that baby,  born two  months  premature, goes  into foster  care
	      immediately on exit  from the hospital.	Following the loss  of
	      their children,  the  marriage dissolves.   In  the end  Tiffany
	      capitulates and  consents  to adoption  of  both children.   The
	      social workers show pride in their accomplishment.  January  15,
	      2012.

   Expecting Trouble.
	      
The second episode goes  after another family with little  to
	      offer.  You  won't find it  hard to  dislike father Shaun.   The
	      narrator says  he  has a	history of  criminal  violence, he  is
	      riddled with tattoos, has a chip on his shoulder and can't  stop
	      drinking, the camera even catches  him taking a few swigs.   The
	      social workers act in a way  that would drive any man to	drink.
	      They have already taken three children from the family and  have
	      their eyes on the  one not yet  born.  Social workers strive  to
	      keep the baby safe.  In their world view that means  eradicating
	      all traces  of masculinity,  even the  canine variety.   Through
	      inducements not shown on camera  they get Marva to leave	Shaun.
	      When the baby boy, named Beep, is born, social workers let Marva
	      care for him  in a  shelter.  But weeks  later Marva returns  to
	      Shaun.  Social  workers shed  tears  over the  failure of  their
	      shotgun divorce, and place baby Beep for adoption.

   I Want My Baby Back.
	      
In episode three the principal  case is of mother Louise  and
	      her baby Mercedes.  There is no need to break up mom and dad  in
	      this case, Louise  is already living  with stepdad Wayne.   Once
	      again, these  parents have nothing  to offer,  and will draw  no
	      sympathy from the  viewer.  Louise is  a long-term drug  abuser.
	      Social workers demand not only  that she give up illegal	drugs,
	      but her prescription medicine as well.  In her case, the	social
	      worker looks like a wicked  witch.  Of course the mother	cannot
	      satisfy the demands of the workers, and Mercedes is placed  with
	      her grandmother.
	      
A sidebar concerns a 14-month-old baby boy possibly  sexually
	      abused.  The man in the house was interviewed by police who took
	      no action, and  a medical  exam found no	sexual abuse.  But  he
	      changed  nappies/diapers.   Q.E.D.    Social  workers  spend  15
	      minutes threatening the mother,  but she holds her ground.   The
	      baby is removed.
	      
In a second sidebar,  a child is removed  from a home with  a
	      clogged toilet.
	      
Overall  from all  three  episodes,  the attitude  of	social
	      workers  when  dealing  with   parents  is  accurate,  based  on
	      comparison with  the experiences	of hundreds  of real  families
	      subject to intervention,	though social  workers clean up  their
	      act when they know  the camera is watching.  Workers  repeatedly
	      assure parents "We are not  here to take children", but they  do
	      nothing	else.	The   discussions  of  social	workers  among
	      themselves lack credibility.   On camera, they  show a lot  more
	      concern for family reunification	than in actual practice.   The
	      video shows  social workers saying  on camera  that they do  not
	      have the power to remove a  child on their own, they need  court
	      approval first.	But it	shows  them doing  the opposite.   The
	      selection of clients is not at all accurate.  In the real  world
	      most targeted families are headed by single mothers.  There  are
	      few of the hopeless misfits selected by the BBC.

   DEAD WRONG - How Psychiatric Drugs Can Kill Your Child
	      
The  CCHR  produced  this  story  of  the  mayhem  caused  by
	      psychiatric  drugs, told	through  the voice  of	the mother  of
	      Matthew Sean Steubing, a teenager who committed suicide on  July
	      18,  2003  after	receiving a  prescription  for	Lexapro.   The
	      documentary includes the views  of professionals and parents  of
	      other   children	adversely   affected  by  drugs.    While  the
	      psychiatric industry pays  lip service  to close observation  of
	      patients, families  consistently report  getting a  prescription
	      after only 15  minutes of  consultation, with little  follow-up.
	      The  paragraph  below  is the  blurb  accompanying  the  YouTube
	      posting of April 16, 2011.
	      
Psychiatric disorders are not medical diseases.  There are no
	      lab tests, brain scans, X-rays or chemical imbalance tests  that
	      can verify  any mental  disorder is a  physical condition.   The
	      Untold  Story of	Psychotropic  Drugging	and The  Marketing  of
	      Madness:	  Are  We   All  Insane?    comes  this   searing  new
	      documentary,  exposing  how  devastating—and  deadly—psychiatric
	      drugs  can  be  for  children and  families.   Behind  the  grim
	      statistics  of  deaths,  suicides,  birth  defects  and  serious
	      adverse reactions  is the  human	face of  this global  drugging
	      epidemic—the personal stories of	loss and courage of those  who
	      paid the real price.   Psychiatrists claim their drugs are  safe
	      for children?   Once you	hear what eight  brave mothers,  their
	      families, health experts,  drug counselors  and doctors have  to
	      say  instead, you  will  come  away  convinced of  one  thing...
	      Psychiatrists are DEAD WRONG.

In the absence of any objective medical tests to  determine
		who has  ADD or  ADHD, doctors	rely in  part on  standardized
		assessments  and the  impressions  of teachers	and  guardians
		while the they administer  leave little room for other	causes
		or aggravating factors, such as diet, or environment.	Hence,
		diagnosing a child or adolescent with ADD or ADHD is often the
		outcome, although no organic basis for either disease has  yet
		to be  clinically  proven.  Psychiatrists  may then  prescribe
		psychotropic drugs for	the children  without first making  it
		clear  to  parents  that these	medications  can  have	severe
		side-effects including insomnia, loss of appetite,  headaches,
		psychotic   symptoms  and   even  potentially	fatal  adverse
		reactions, such as cardiac arrhythmia.	And yet, despite these
		dangers, many  school  systems actually  work with  government
		agencies to force parents to drug their children,  threatening
		those who refuse  with the prospect  of having their  children
		taken from the home unless they cooperate.

   Thousands  of children  were  separated  from their  parents  in
	      Quebec and  raised under	atrocious conditions.	When it  suits
	      their purposes, the CBC can tell the story succinctly as in  the
	      excerpt below from their web page on the Duplessis orphans.  The
	      purpose in this case is to place the blame for the tragic era on
	      the Catholic Church.  None  of the outrage over past  atrocities
	      has  altered today's  policies  of  taking children  from  their
	      parents.
	      
    
		During the reign of Quebec Premier Maurice Duplessis in the
		1940s and 1950s, an alarming number of healthy children living
		in sanctuaries were hastily diagnosed as mentally incompetent,
		psychotic patients.  The  diagnoses were always swift  —
		the  children went  to	bed orphans  and  woke up  psychiatric
		patients.   The  reason?   Shrewd  fiscal  planning;   federal
		subsidies paid out more to hospitals than to orphanages.  Some
		children   allegedly	endured   lobotomies,	 electroshock,
		straitjackets and  abuse.  For	the rest of  their lives  they
		would struggle to  bring attention to  their story and	demand
		compensation.  They called themselves the Duplessis Orphans.

      Rabbit-proof Fence
      
	This  is  the best  movie  on  foster  care.  In  1931	the  Australian
		government took three part-aboriginal girls (half-castes in the  jargon
		of the	time)  from a  family  into "care",  actually  a dormitory  and
		training school  for servant work.   The three	escape and the	oldest,
		14-year-old Holly, leads them home.  When the other inmates realize  at
		roll call that three have successfully escaped, they give a loud cheer.
		
How does a 14-year-old girl get  across 1200 miles of desert?  She  has
		bush-smarts.  She gets	help from an  assortment of passers-by,  steals
		eggs from a chicken farmer, even finds a home with an aboriginal  maid.
		When she has to go east, she looks at the desert sun for bearings, then
		heads in the right direction.  In the end, two girls make it home,  one
		is recaptured.	The final scenes  show the 85-year-old Holly, and  tell
		of her own children being abducted into the system a decade later.
		
The movie  faithfully depicts the  bigotry of  the authorities who  are
		mystified by the aborigines refusal to accept their services.
 
    
	      
      Dear Zachary
      
	Dear Zachary.  This documentary tells the true story of a  young
		Pennsylvania doctor.  After  he breaks	up with his  girlfriend,
		she murders him and flees to  Canada.  When she turns out to  be
		pregnant  with his  child,  the doctor's  parents  get the  only
		grandson they will ever have.  Canadian courts let the killer go
		free on bail while awaiting extradition and give her custody  of
		the  child  over  objections of  the  grandparents.   This  case
		exemplifies the total failure  of the criminal and family  court
		system.  Perhaps, as the grandparents believe, the judges failed
		to recognize the  character of the  homicidal mother.  Or  maybe
		with their years of  experience they did.  Family courts  direct
		revenue to their colleagues in the bar when they routinely  give
		custody to a dysfunctional mother, requiring the father, in this
		case the grandparents, to expend large sums to right the  wrong.

      The Handmaid's Tale
      
	This movie made in 1989 shows a dystopic future in which fertile
		young women are conscripted to be child-bearers for  influential
		couples.  Real love is extinct, children are separated from  the
		bio-parents at birth  to be raised  by their patrons.	Feminist
		Margaret Atwood created  this vision as a  criticism of a  world
		without feminine influence.  An irony is that in the two decades
		since the  movie, feminism  has become one  of the  intellectual
		justifications for the construction of a world in which children
		are routinely separated by force from their birth families to be
		given to  more	politically influential  individuals or  groups.
		One difference from Atwood — today's religion is not that of the
		bible, but political correctness.
 
    
	      
      Unthinkable
      
	2010, starring	Samuel L  Jackson  and Michael	Sheen.	In  this
		story of nuclear ticking bombs, the suspected bomber, Yusef Atta
		Mohammad formerly  Steven  Arthur Younger  (Sheen), is	tortured
		from the moment of capture in an effort to get him to reveal the
		location of his bombs.	He resists standard hooded interrogation
		by military staff, then  super-torturer H (Jackson) takes  over.
		H smashes the prisoners finger with a hammer, applies a  plastic
		mask to restrict breathing, attacks his testicles with a  knife,
		applies stress positions, electric  shock and a dental drill  in
		his  teeth, To	avoid  legal  qualms, Younger's  citizenship  is
		revoked.
		
Real progress occurs only  when the prisoner's wife Jehan  is
		threatened.  If she does not cooperate she will be charged  with
		aiding terrorism and her children will be placed in foster care.
		H seats Jehan in  front of Younger,  then kills her by	slashing
		her throat.   Next step:   bring in Younger's  two children  and
		seat them  in front  of Younger  and the  homicidal H.	 Younger
		reveals the location of the bombs.

      Men Don't Tell
      
	A TV movie aired by CBS on March 14, 1993.  It deals with the extremely
		politically incorrect  topic  of family  violence  committed by  women.
		When wife Laura  (Judith Light) initiates a  fight, neighbors call  the
		police.  The cops blame husband Ed (Peter Strauss).  Laura even attacks
		Ed in his sleep.   Still, the story clearly shows  that Laura is not  a
		monster — she is a tragic woman with a fatal flaw.  One event that  was
		plausible two decades ago but not today:  when Laura is revealed as the
		aggressor, Ed gets exclusive custody of the children.  The whole movie,
		in  a  poor  copy  maybe  from	 an  old  VCR  tape,  is  on  
YouTube,  at  least
		until the copyright monster bites.
 
    
	      
	      
      Juno
      
Review by Erika Klein:

Babies,Ipods and The Like..
		  
I am sooo glad the  movie Juno didn't win any major  Oscars
		  last night.  Even though  I champion Canadian actors and  film
		  makers, Juno	was the  'jagged  little pill'	I just	couldn't
		  swallow.  Though I'm sure the people involved in this film may
		  very well possess talent - the storyline following a 16 yr old
		  pregnant girl looking  for adopters  did not portray	reality.
		  Juno took only one award for best original screenplay.
		  
The only people  who seemed to enjoy  the film were  either
		  people looking to adopt or  people who have had no  experience
		  with adoption  personally.   The wise  cracking teenager  made
		  comments like "You shoulda went  to China lady they give  away
		  babies like Ipods". This was only the beginning.
		  
The film  seemed to sugar	coat over  the most painful  and
		  traumatic experiences a first mother goes through.  Even  when
		  it is  an informed  choice, it does  not take  away the  loss.
		  Relinquishing children for adoption brings with it a life long
		  loss that never seems to go away.  The Hollywood happily  ever
		  after just doesnt wash with me.
		  
Juno makes it seem  like surrendering a child for	adoption
		  is  a trendy	even  cool  thing to  do.   While the  shame  of
		  pregnancy out of wedlock  is slowly being  taken away - a  new
		  set of ideals  are being  presented to us  via movies and  the
		  media.
		  
These new	ideals are  what continue  to pervade  adoption.
		  They are just more myths.  The myth that a 16 yr old cannot be
		  helped to raise  her own  child.  The myth  that a mother  can
		  choose adopters and have an 'open adoption'.	The myth that  a
		  young mother	could walk  away without any  grief or	anguish.
		  The myth  that babies  are property  and can	be exchanged  to
		  someone 'better'.  The myth  that giving your child away  does
		  no damage.  The myth	that a bond  between a mother and  child
		  isn't of any value.
		  
At  the very  least,  Juno did  provide  an opportunity  to
		  parents to openly  discuss sexuality	and related issues  with
		  our children.   If anything  this movie served  as a	warning.
		  Tell your daughters  adoption does not  look like this.   Juno
		  was a far cry  from what most  first mothers go through.   I'm
		  elated Juno did not take home a major win.
		  
 
    
	      
      Case 39
      
	Filmed 2006, US release 2010.  Before getting to the plot,  this
		movie introduces the main character, social worker Emily Jenkins
		(Renée	 Zellweger)   through	the   distortion   of  political
		correctness.  Hopelessly overworked, Jenkins is driven solely by
		the motive of helping children	and families, and is their  last
		resort in  a  crisis.  Jenkins	enters the  home  of an  abusive
		family without a  policeman to serve  as bodyguard.  Efforts  to
		intervene are  constrained by  fear of	lawsuits from  aggrieved
		parents.  Jenkins  risks her  life  to rush  to the  home of  an
		abusive family	just in  time to  keep them  from killing  their
		child.	Instead  of a  foster  home, Jenkins  takes the  fearful
		child into  her own  apartment.  Restraining  orders?  They  are
		good for families because they give both partners time apart  to
		work out their problems.

	A musical  fantasy released in	1968.  The  villain is a  character Child  Catcher
		played by Robert  Helpmann.  When two  children enter the kingdom  of Vulgaria where  the
		ruler has banished all	children, Child Catcher has the  job of snatching the  newcomers.
		He searches their quarters unsuccessfully, then  lures them into his cage with	lollipops
		and slams the gate  shut behind them, then  transports them to a  cell in a tower.   When
		this movie was made Child Catcher was a fantasy.  Today he is not.
