CAS protesters hit Stratford
A small group of out-of-town protesters stood in front of the local Children's Aid Society to draw attention to a litany of complaints.
At the top of their list, the group says there are social workers breaking the law by not being registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers.
They say the Children's Aid Society has no accountability.
"The only party that has proclaimed support of families is the NDP. They put forward the ombudsman's bill, but every time it gets shot down in the legislature," said Bobbie Cutler.
She said the Child and Family Services Review Board doesn't make children's aid societies accountable for their actions.
Cutler says she's been helping a family in Niagara Falls who she believes is being treated unfairly by the system.
"They got a new worker, fresh out of college. She's 22 with no children, but she has an education so she can go in and say this family is parenting incorrectly," Cutler said.
The group holds rotating rallies around Ontario.
They want residents to sign petitions online at canadacourtwatch.com or fixcas.com.
