Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are Children's Aid Societies Government Agencies? Absolutely not! every singe one of Ontario's 53 Children's Aid Societies are private corporations just like a fast food restaurant.
     
  • Are you trying to close down Children's Aid Societies? Sadly, Child Protection service are required but what we are trying to do is get the Government to take control and provide Child Protection Services.
     
  • Does the Children's Aid do anything good? Probably, but without Ontario's Bill 93 and Ontario Ombudsman Oversight or criminal investigations the general public will never know who is or isn't good. You can read the Canadian Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect – 2003 the data collected was from Child protection and related services so take the information with a grain of salt.
     
  • Do they get paid commissions to take children? Better than that they get a sizable, guaranteed salary most with full benefits and full legal representation. The more Children they take requires more workers giving them better job security. All they need to do is make the Government believe on paper they are busy and in need. Plus, other charities are throwing money at them without knowing or bothering to find out if the allegations of abuse, abductions, deaths or forced adoptions allegations are true. They also attempt seizing valuable assets, savings, investments on top of forcing the parents to pay fines and all court costs.
     
  • Hasn't Children's Aid been complaining lately about not having money to protect children in need? Yes but .. they are well known  for easily spending tens of thousands of dollars fighting innocent parents. And we all know what the Auditor General had to say about the small audit of only four Children's Aid Offices. The AG investigation resulted in damning reports of including  misspending, purchasing SUV's, trips and gym memberships. You can see what CAS did to correct things in follow up report.
     
  • Have Children's Aid Societies taken children away from good parents? Yes, many children have been taken from innocent parent the true numbers are impossible to know until the Ontario Government begins ordering criminal investigations followed by permanent independent oversight.
     
  • Is taking children away from good parents child abuse? It most certainly is! It's a form of emotional abuse and many professionals feel its the worst form of abuse.
     
  • Can parents complain to the College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers? No, while it would bring great credibility to the Child Protection profession CAS began the practice of using the title "Child Protection Worker" and not using their titles social worker, social service worker, registered social worker or registered social service worker with the sole purpose of preventing accountability under the Social Work and Social Service Work Act (1998) that's main interest was to protect public safety.
     
  • Isn't the Children's Aid accountable to anyone? Technically under the Child and Family Services Act but we are unaware of any legitimate complaints being investigated. Only if a child dies in care and/or the family has enough money to hire private investigators, professionals, expert witnesses or begin learning law themselves to file appeals and private charges can they hope for justice. It's happened but it's rare for anyone to be able to afford several hundred thousand dollars to mount a case
  • What types of complaints are excluded from the CAS and CFSRB complaint review processes?
    The CAS and CFSRB review processes cannot consider:
    • Matters currently before the courts or that 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. Taken from the Child and Family Services Complaint Brochure.
    We must assume everyone without physic abilities are at risk.
     
  • What can we do to stop this? Please Call your local MPP immediately! Demand they support accountability with Ontario's Bill 93. MPP's are very pleasant to talk to and It's exactly what your MPP's office does for it constituents. The call will only take a ten minutes and you'll be surprised at how easy it is.

  • What do I do if my MPP won't support Bill 93? That's a question your going to need to ask yourself and inform all of your friends, neighbours, family and the media. Who wouldn't want children from innocent parents returned home, who wouldn't want accountability over private corporations with more power than the police, with the power of taking children and getting paid billions of Ontario's taxes every year to do it? If your MPP refuses please send us a copy of the letter and again tell everyone!
     
  • Are you associated with OACAS or the Children's Aid Society? NO
     
  • Can you help me with a Child Protection Case? No, we are not lawyers and cannot offer any legal advise.
     
  • Do you take donations? We joke about this on our Donation Page and feel it isn't right accepting money from innocent parents seeking help. But if you have money to burn or want to help contact us.

We would like to hear from any OACAS or Children's Aid employee willing to blow the whistle by exposing any criminal activity to help with criminal investigations.
