Censorship

December 2, 2010 permalink

A mother of crown wards has been threatened with even more separation from her family for speaking privately on Facebook about this spring's rally in Walkerton. Her own lawyer has scolded her for speaking about her case. What does it mean?

• CAS is getting scared by the string of rallies across Ontario.
• Lawyers don't like vocal clients. They want everything handled between themselves and the judge, silencing parents until the kids are grown. Adding grandchildren, that means never speaking out. Use lawyers for court, but reject their advice about advocacy.
• CAS probably has moles on Facebook. If you have a few dozen Facebook friends, count on one of them to feed your posts to CAS.
• Maybe CAS has penetrated Facebook security. Anyone in Yvonne's position getting to court discovery should question CAS about the source of their data.

I need you & others to send a viral message to the foster care council network. I'm not kidding. I have to shut down my facebook profile for child welfare advocacy & legislative reform. Bruce CAS with Windsor-Essex CAS has invaded my privacy. They have filed copies of my facebook communications with the court. They are trying to use it against me in court for access to my sons. The lawyer is kind of angry about this & says, "injustices abound, you want to advocate, do it AFTER your children are 18 & this case IS NOT on-going!" or he's said he will remove himself as my counsel. People on the network have had their security compromised....the one's involved in the Walkerton rally (May/2010). Bruce County is where my boys are at!

ps. Tammy [McIntyre] your name is one of the ones in the court record. CAS has you on file from the Walkerton rally (may/2010). Anyone associated with CAS rallies; speaking out for reform, on my friends list is compromised.... CAS has invaded my privacy/cracked my account & is recording any communications about my activities to use in court.
