A Chatham Ontario mother stays within the law by telling her story on the internet, without disclosing her family name, but includes names of social workers. CAS humiliated her family by disclosing a disease to their friends. While the baby gets substandard care, seven caseworkers have time to write reports on the case.

Most all CPS/juvenile court Systems deal ONLY with Intra familial Child Abuse. This schism between the way society deals with child abuse perpetrated by a family member versus child abuse perpetrated by an 'outsider' points out a staggering hypocrisy in the rhetoric about treating child abuse seriously. Behind the rhetoric is a child welfare and police system that in reality works hand in hand to let most child abusers walk free.

Yvonne Craig If you've read my postings you've heard from a client...& you've witnessed the OUTCOME. I was kicked out of his practice...issued a verbal "desist" from contact ultimatum...I had to "re-prepare" the documents in the proper forms (according to procedural rules WHICH the lawyer as Child Protection EXPERT should have KNOWN to prepare the PROPER form)...I have all the e-mails & draft copies/finalized forms archived in my e-mails & under my documents. He went on a POWER trip when he didn't get his way.

Warning! There are a few double-agents posing as CAS opponents, but really on the social services payroll. Be careful.

I have been a victim of Jewish Family and Child Services injustices. I was charged with assaulting my youngest son in May, 2003 and subsequently had my two youngest children removed from my care, without trial. It took me three years, much heartache, money and wasted time to even begin to overcome the tyranny that this supposedly helpful agency has inflicted upon my family and self and to clear my good name. I had to hire both a criminal lawyer and family law lawyers as well as a private investigator. I eventually ended up defending myself in court. You may be asking, "why the private investigator?" Well, I was not even present when my son, who was 80 percentile deaf at the time of his injury, fell and banged his ear. The private investigator was hired in order to interview the five witnesses. At the time of this intrusion into my life, I was a successful landlord, artist and entrepreneur. I had been blessed with five beautiful children as well. The ripple effects of what Jewish Family and Child service did to my family was devastating. I was forced to jump through many hoops of imposed meetings, courses, court appearances, mental health assessments not to mention supervised visitations with my children. I had to take parenting courses (i am a mother of 5) and anger management courses, (who wouldn't be angry in such a situation?). My elderly parents suffered, my three older children suffered, my business suffered. I lost everything material in order to fight these tyrants - my real estate, my business, my marriage and almost my sanity. My youngest children, then aged 6 1/2 and 5, were traumatized and still suffer from flashbacks.

• Many rights are extinguished unless claimed at the first hearing, three days after snatching the child. Since most families cannot find a lawyer in that time, their rights are lost. As for finding a lawyer, she says: "To date, we have not found any Nova Scotian family lawyer we would recommend to anyone".
• Lawyers never represent children in child protection cases, though they are permitted, sometimes required, by law. Social workers prevent parents and children from discussing their case at visitation, so neither can learn that the child's wishes were never presented in court.
• When a family proposes placing children with relatives, those relatives are subjected to psychiatric evaluations that are biased and unprofessional. The professional society is ineffective in handling complaints.
• After CAS has destroyed a family, the courts can compel the victims to pay for their own destruction.
