CAS recruits Moslems, blocks petition

May 30, 2004 permalink

In Windsor Ontario CAS has organized a group called the Islamic Social Welfare Association (ISWA), to recruit followers of Islam into the child protection system. They have represented themselves as protectors of orphans, and possibly supplied funding to the organization. Pakistanis have been asked to set up a group home for boys and one for girls

Citizens for Social Morality, CFSM, attended a dinner at a mosque where CAS spoke to veiled women about apprehension, even though most did not understand English. At question time CAS ignored questions from CFSM members.

Later CFSM met with the directors of ISWA. A psychologist and three social workers attended, with three veiled women, one clearly a CAS worker under the veil. The principal of the Arab school proudly stated that he worked for CAS.

In Windsor, where CAS scouts the hospital emergency room for prospects, CFSM has gathered thousands of signatures. Several batches of petitions posted for signature have simply disappeared when not watched. The hospital employing Dr Dolores Sicheri has asked her not to circulate petitions.
