In Memory of Families Ripped Apart by CAS & Family Court. OTTAWA
Public Event · By Jane Scharf and Paula Klee
Monday, February 20, 2012
12:00pm until 2:00pmMeeting place at the corner of Rideau Street and Sussex Drive, Ottawa, Ontario
On Family Day those children who are under the so called "care" of the Children's Aid Society will not be having a visit with their family because the CAS has chosen to close their doors on Family Day. So in protest of this disrespect for the families CAS are serving we are holding a public information picket. We will be advising the public that CAS apprehends children without any evidence of abuse or neglect on a regular basis and that the number of child apprehensions have risen 130% since 2002. Large numbers of families are also reporting unfair treatment by the Family Courts.
This will be a family friendly protest that will take place beginning at 12:00 noon until 2:00 pm at the underpass corner of RIdeau and Sussex.

Description
Are you a victim of Mount Forest's Ramoth House or know someone who is or was??? THIS RALLY IS FOR YOU
We are having a rally for Accountability outside Ramoth House because its is sanctioned by the CAS. Most residents are told to go there by CAS, girls who refuse are told CAS will apprehend their children. Yet most of these women do leave there with their child . There are cases where women were not allowed to go to the hospital when they had concerns as staff felt there was no need. Do these staff members have medical degrees? Having this rally to let the people know whats going on behind closed doors and to help avoid more innocent mothers losing their children.... This Womans Shelter is suppose to be there to help mothers with young children and all they are doing in most cases is tearing families apart ..When people graduate from the program only approximately 10% of them leave with their children. and approximately 90% of the mothers who are told they would be allowed to leave with their children walk out of there empty handed...
Ramoth House is run by volunteers who are not educated to be social workers, psychologists, doctors, etc. Yet prepare case notes for the society...
Based on this information we need oversight, accountability, and transparency....
So we are asking everyone to come out and show your support for these single mothers who are trying to keep their children.. And LETS stop Ramoth house and the children's aid societies from their child abductions and lies....

PLEASE DOWNLOAD the Petition for Ombudsman Oversight (pdf).
Rally Etiquette (Updated Jan 2012)
- Rallies are to be peaceful protests. Please refrain from profanities, hand gestures and name calling to other members of the rally, police and Children's Aid Workers.
- Rallies are to only be done on public property. When at a rally unless specified by the rally organizer please remain on the sidewalks at all times.
- When media attends a rally a designated spokesperson, such as the rally organizer or media spokesperson will handle it, they will speak to the media first and foremost. This is so that the whole cause is addressed and not about personal stories. If, after the spokesperson has completed their dialogue with the reporter and, the reporter wants personal stories then ralliers can proceed one at a time to tell their stories. From previous experience the personal stories do not get published anyways and it just makes it look like you are a disgruntled parent with a beef.
- If the ralliers use profanities to other members, the police or C.A.S. workers you will be asked to leave. We are out to do these rallies professionally for the greater good of the cause. If the rallies are not done professionally then all the hard work done by the members who are doing them professionally are undermined and moving the movement backwards instead of forwards.

Rally for Oversight and Accountability STRATFORD
Public Event for VOICES OF THE CHILDREN · By Zane Sherwood
- date:
- Wednesday, March 21, 2012
- time:
- 11:00am until 3:00pm
- place:
- 639 Lorne Avenue Stratford Ontario
COME ONE COME ALL LETS SHOW YOUR SOPPORT TO THE FAMILIES DEALING WITH THIS CAS OFFICE AND OHTERS . WE NEED TO BE LOUD AND HEARD. pLEASE COME OUT AND SHOW SUPPORT
Some of our issues:
- We want the Ontario Government and the Ministry of Child and Youth Services to begin taking responsibility for Ontario’s 53 Children’s Societies actions and begin investigating complaints, criminal activity and wrong doing.
- Ontario is the only Province in Canada without independent Ombudsman oversight to investigate decisions or recommendation made or any act done or omitted in the course of the administration of a Children's Aid Society. We believe this will help protect children in dangerous foster care situations and innocent families.
- Many victims would like to see criminal investigations conducted against CAS.
- The Canadian Government’s Child Abuse & Neglect statistics supplied by CAS’s state most parents who become involved with Children’s Aid are 100% innocent. They are not substance or child abusers; they did not make poor parental decisions and never required involvement of any kind.
- Ontario courts and enquiries have proven children are being taken from innocent parents and some put up for adoption.
- The Children’s Aid and the Ministries Child and Family Services Review Board will not review:
- Matters currently before the courts or the courts have already decided.
- Matters that fall under other decision making processes under the Child and Family Services Act or the Labour Relations Act. (Every single case!!)
- We need the media to ask Children’s Aid Societies what complaints the CAS or the Ministry of Child and Youth Service’s Review Board will not deal with.
- According to one research Doctor at the RCMP Missing Children’s Services children taken from innocent parents suffer the same effects of abduction. Most professionals agree abduction is emotional abuse.
- The Ontario Child Advocate has concerns about the high death rate among children while in CAS care.
- Children’s Aid Job Bank postings show certificates, licenses, memberships, courses, etc from accreditation bodies are not required. Why? Workers began using "Child Protection Worker" and not accreditation such as "Registered Social Worker" for example preventing accountability by the College of Social Workers under the SWSSW act among others.
- All 53 Children’s Aid Societies are self regulated, non-governmental organisations that should only receive more funding with oversight. This will save tax payers billions.
- Recently Sudbury Children’s Aid lawyers attempted and failed to protect Douglas Klasges a convicted pedophile & foster parent from having his name published against his former foster child wishes.
- As you may remember the Ontario Auditor General’s 2006 audit of 4 Children’s Aid Societies showed 4 out of 4 CAS’s were mismanaging our money with personal memberships, trips, SUV’s.
- Attending many of the rallies across Ontario are the wrongfully convicted of the disgraced Charles Randal Smith.
As we've previously stated the purpose of the peaceful rally is for oversight and accountability of Ontario’s 53 Children’s Aid Societies. Our requests for oversight are reasonable, not attacks on good social workers or attempts to close important services like Children's Aid Societies. Oversight will ensure safer, accountable and transparent Child protection services across Ontario and we can assure the public in some cases lead to criminal investigations. They have been entrusted to regulate themselves and these Non-governmental organizations have failed miserably.

We are holding a rally for accountability and oversight of the Children's Aid Societies and the M.U.S.H sector in Belleville Ontario at the family courthouse at 199 south front st, right in the center of downtown Belleville at the Serve Ontario side of the century place building.
This rally will be held from 11:00am to 4:00pm on Friday, May 4th 2012.
There will be plenty of signs and brochures to hand out along with the Ombudsman petition for people to sign.
I hope to see as many people there as possible because we need to get the word out and as people in the Belleville area know, the CA$ propaganda runs wild here and we need to inform people of the truth so that one day the tables will turn on them and everyone will know about their lies, deceit and unlawful actions.
Also if people are in the Belleville area but would need a ride to get there, I may be able to help with that so please either post on here or pm me and we will see what I can do.
Thanks in advance to all the great people that will hopefully be able to attend this rally.

We'll be starting a series of weekly rallies on May 23rd in Chatham. Our goal is to educate as many people as we can about the need for Ombudsman Oversight of the 53 Child Protection Agency's in Ontario. We have information pamphlets available. Will post the other dates and locations on here in a day or 2.
Source: Facebook
Darlene Duplessis Just an FYI....People I know in the community passed the rally on the 23rd. The feed back was NOT good, for us, or for the CAUSE. If we want to be taken seriously, we MUST act like professionals. Language and actions and behaviours have NOT been reflecting that of CANADA COURT WATCH. We have a good reputation, and aim to keep it that way. Should this happen again one of 2 things will happen...you WILL be asked to leave, or true CCW members will leave. This isn't a pity party, it is to educate others on facts about CA$....NOT your sex life. I would rather NOT rally as to go make a public fool of myself and CCW. Don't be offended, just DON'T offend. Thank-you.

- If the ralliers use profanities to other members, the police or C.A.S. workers you will be asked to leave. We are out to do these rallies professionally for the greater good of the cause.

Owen Sound Rally for Oversight and Accountability
We are inviting members of the media to our Rally for Accountability of Ontario’s 53 Children’s Aid Societies being held friday, june 8 /2012 from 10am until 4:00pm at the Children's Aid Office 1290 3rd Avenue East, Owen Sound, ON N4K 2L5
This rally is one of dozens taken place across Ontario seeking oversight of Ontario’s 53 Children’s Aid Societies.
Some of our issues:
- We want the Ontario Government and the Ministry of Child and Youth Services to begin taking responsibility for Ontario’s 53 Children’s Societies actions and begin investigating complaints, criminal activity and wrong doing.
- Ontario is the only Province in Canada without independent Ombudsman oversight to investigate decisions or recommendation made or any act done or omitted in the course of the administration of a Children's Aid Society. We believe this will help protect children in dangerous foster care situations and innocent families.
- Many victims would like to see criminal investigations conducted against CAS.
- The Canadian Government’s Child Abuse & Neglect statistics supplied by CAS’s state most parents who become involved with Children’s Aid are 100% innocent. They are not substance or child abusers; they did not make poor parental decisions and never required involvement of any kind.
- Ontario courts and enquiries have proven children are being taken from innocent parents and some put up for adoption.
- The Children’s Aid and the Ministries Child and Family Services Review Board will not review:
- Matters currently before the courts or the courts have already decided.
- Matters that fall under other decision making processes under the Child and Family Services Act or the Labour Relations Act. (Every single case!!)
- We need the media to ask Children’s Aid Societies what complaints the CAS or the Ministry of Child and Youth Service’s Review Board will not deal with.
- According to one research Doctor at the RCMP Missing Children’s Services children taken from innocent parents suffer the same effects of abduction. Most professionals agree abduction is emotional abuse.
- The Ontario Child Advocate has concerns about the high death rate among children while in CAS care.
- Children’s Aid Job Bank postings show certificates, licenses, memberships, courses, etc from accreditation bodies are not required. Why? Workers began using "Child Protection Worker" and not accreditation such as "Registered Social Worker" for example preventing accountability by the College of Social Workers under the SWSSW act among others.
- All 53 Children’s Aid Societies are self regulated, non-governmental organisations that should only receive more funding with oversight. This will save tax payers billions.
- Recently Sudbury Children’s Aid lawyers attempted and failed to protect Douglas Klasges a convicted pedophile & foster parent from having his name published against his former foster child wishes.
- As you may remember the Ontario Auditor General’s 2006 audit of 4 Children’s Aid Societies showed 4 out of 4 CAS’s were mismanaging our money with personal memberships, trips, SUV’s.
- Attending many of the rallies across Ontario are the wrongfully convicted of the disgraced Charles Randal Smith.
As we've previously stated the purpose of the peaceful rally is for oversight and accountability of Ontario’s 53 Children’s Aid Societies. Our requests for oversight are reasonable, not attacks on good social workers or attempts to close important services like Children's Aid Societies. Oversight will ensure safer, accountable and transparent Child protection services across Ontario and we can assure the public in some cases lead to criminal investigations. They have been entrusted to regulate themselves and these Non-governmental organizations have failed miserably.
Sincerely,
Zane Sherwood Voices of the Children and Canada court watch -519-900-1306

Brockville Rally

- 41 Courthouse Square Brockville Ontario
IMPORTANT PUBLIC NOTICE FOR THE PEOPLE OF BROCKVILLE
On Thursday November 8, 2012 in Brockville Ontario at 41 Courthouse Square beginning at 11:00 am members of Canada Court Watch and others will be engaging in a lawful and peaceful public protest in regards to sharing information and raising awareness with the public about:
- The need for Legislative changes to the Ombudsman Act and the critical (desperate?) need for Ombudsman Oversight of the private corporation Children’s Aid Societies (CAS) in Ontario:
http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statutes/english/elaws_statutes_90o06_e.htm
- Public inquiry type of examinations of the government of Ontario’s child protection system which pit children and their families into adversarial litigation and proceedings against powerful organizations such as the Ministry of Children and Youth Services (MCYS), the CASs, the Police Services, the Ministry of the Attorney General’s Office of the Children’s Lawyer, Legal Aid Ontario, the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers, the Colleges for the psychologists and psychiatrists who are, via taxpayer dollars, handsomely paid by the CASs to write those family hating Parenting Capacity Assessments and the Courts and Judges of Ontario. It’s not a fair fight, not by a longshot.
We could name other taxpayer funded organizations such as the Ontario Judicial Counsel which are lacking of Oversight, Transparency and Accountability but we’ll stop there (psst: the Ontario Judicial Counsel, which ummm “hears” complaints against provincial court judges, is officed right next door to the same downtown Toronto office of the Chief Justice of the Courts of Ontario, Madam Justice Bonkalo…isn’t that cozy? Kind of like Judges of Courts of Ontario sitting on the CASs’ Boards while simultaneously ummm “hearing” ummm “child protection” litigation).
And then there is the issue of former CAS lawyers who are now judges who continue to ummm “adjudicate” CAS initiated and pursued “child protection” litigation…Judges Blishen, Hatton, Katarynch, McSorley, Hunter,…but we’ll leave that examination for another day.
- Legislative changes we are pursuing to the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) which, if successful, will result in first the Courts of Ontario and eventually the CASs being added to the current list of 157 province of Ontario “institutions” which are obligated to respond to freedom of information requests:
http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/regs/english/elaws_regs_900460_e.htm
Did you know that the courts of Ontario pay judges to participate in various types of “Working
Groups” such as “the Child Protection Working Group” and that these Working Groups, such as the Family Law Rules Committee, do not allow for participation from the public?
https://www.pas.gov.on.ca/scripts/en/boardDetails.asp?boardID=1374
Membership: The committee is composed of, (a) the Chief Justice and Associate Chief Justice of Ontario; (b) the Chief Justice and the Associate Chief Justice of the Superior Court of Justice; (c) the Senior Judge of the Family Court; (d) the Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice or, at his or her designation, an associate chief justice; (e) one judge of the Court of Appeal, who shall be appointed by the Chief Justice of Ontario; (f) four judges of the Superior Court of Justice appointed by the Chief Justice of the Superior Court of Justice, at least two of whom shall be judges of the Family Court referred to in clause 21.2(1)(d) or (e); (g) two judges of the Ontario Court of Justice, who shall be appointed by the Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice; (h) the Attorney General or a person designated by the Attorney General; (i) one law officer of the Crown, who shall be appointed by the Attorney General; (j) two persons employed in the administration of the courts, who shall be appointed by the Attorney General; (k) four lawyers, who shall be appointed by The Law Society of Upper Canada; (l) four lawyers, who shall be appointed by the Chief Justice of the Superior Court of Justice; and (m) two lawyers, who shall be appointed by the Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice. The Chief Justice of Ontario or a designee of the Chief Justice presides over the committee.
These insider only Courts of Ontario Working Groups and Committees control our family and child protection courts, rules and have a severe impact on the actually laws as well.
These Courts of Ontario Working Groups and Committees produce very important reports such as this one: http://www.fixcas.com/cgi-bin/go.py?2012e.Bala which unfortunately are not accessible by the very members of the public who are most affected=the children and families of Ontario.
Report on Court-ordered Assessments in Child Welfare Proceedings in Ontario: Review and Recommendations for Reform
Currently within the government of Ontario’s family court and child protection systems neither the Courts of Ontario nor the CASs are obligated to respond to freedom of information requests.
We want to change that.
Please take the time to attend this week’s Thursday November 8, 2012 public protest and join in for as long as you can or sign our petitions.
By the way, these injustices are not just recently inflicted.
It was in March 2000 that the ugly and destructive Bill 6 became law, unjustifiably empowering the CASs and the Courts against children and families, but in fact these CAS/Courts perpetrated injustices have been going on for a very long time:
http://afrafrontpagenews.blogspot.ca/2012/01/system-was-misguided-officials-admit.html
System was misguided, officials admit Thousands of children needlessly uprooted Monday, November 23, 1981 By YVES LAVIGNE The Globe and Mail
Thousands of Ontario children have been needlessly taken out of their homes during the past 20 years by a child welfare system that provincial officials now say was seriously misguided.
The experience, along with the stigma of having been wards of Children's Aid Societies, has shattered some of these children's lives. Many now are strangers in their families, are shunned by employers and are regarded as misfits by former friends and neighbors.
An unknown number, say professionals who deal with these children, have rebelled against their unwarranted plight by turning to crime. Others suffered deep emotional wounds that some experts fear could lead them into crime or other anti-social behavior later.
See you on Thursday November 8, 2012 beginning at 11:00 am.
PEACE
