Laptop held images of young boys: warrant - The Globe and Mail

Laptop held images of young boys: warrant - The Globe and Mail


I am SO not surprised.

We Never Imagined . . .He was so nice . .

Seems Barbara Kay- the sometime commenter on that paper that is under bankruptcy protection now- The National Post- is of the opinion that Canada's gun laws -unfairly and specifically target nice men- like asomeone calledJeremy Swanson.
Obviously she is right- I mean- the media could not get to report the opinions of the vulgari-after another murder of wife/exwife/children etc. You know- all the illuminating comments like: He didn''t seem depressed/suicidal/angry/ etc. He was a family man- I used to see him mowing the lawn- except for that one patch that was a freshly dug garden - - - - -

74 year old grandmother Shirley Skinner arrested for murder (video)

74 year old grandmother Shirley Skinner arrested for murder (video)

My first reaction is : she was stopping abuse of her grand daughter and/or her great grand daughter.

My second reflection was: I know a LOT of non-offending mothers who will hire her - - - -anyone remember the old tv program ? I think it was : Have Gun Will Travel - - -

Pound Pup Legacy advocates for child safety within the foster care and adoption system


This just came through on an alert for -texts about child sexual abuse. Very important for Canadians. While this blog appears to address specifically fostering and adoption- the social services systems in general, across Canada, are positively medieval and many of their practices and attitudes are immensely destructive to non-offending parents and the wounded children- as well as affecting foster child and adopted children.
All too often, the lack of knowledge, poor attitudes, prejudices and lack of communication between systems, result in deaths. Think of residential schools. Think of reservations- think of "domestic" violence -(I detest that term- I picture a snarling fanged brute tearing apart a mother- whilst social workers comment from behind the safety of a barrier-) he isn't very socialized is he ? We recommend custody to the brute- after all- he will go to anger management classes, and therapy for the alleged victim- she didn't defend herself very well- and we need to know what she did to set him off.) Think of - churches and their - - - -leaders-
like- Raymond Lahey - -
And, for sure, read Honouring Christian Lee, September 2009-No Private Matter: Protecting Children Living With Domestic Violence ; report from the Representative for Children and Youth-available in pdf at : www.rcybc.ca/content/home.asp
When you get angry and heartsick, choose what YOU will do to help. We ALL pay the abusers via our tax dollars.

Cat helps prove child abuser's guilt

American Humane: Email - Cat helps prove child abuser's guilt

Abuse of animals is frequently found in conjunction with abuse of children. I know a woman who knew of her "husband's" bestiality AND sexual and other abuse of his children- but when she reported- nothing happened. Nothing- except- she lost custody of her tiny daughters, followed by the loss of her career,houses,farm and other properties. Now- reporting these crimes is required by law- if not by ethics and morality- however, you can be sure that every case like hers- empowers the criminals and further silences the victims. You see, so many others knew of her and the children's anguish- and were subsequently too terrified to report - - -their own abuses.

This American Humane Society article about a true event , bears witness to the fact that there ARE- albeit few and far between- those who have enough moral fibre- to report and assist the victims. That is why this true story of the cat and the girl is so desperately important. Anyone who reads this- please pass it on. Even if you only like animals- and not humans !!!!!!!!!!

Make no mistake about it, once reported- the victim who reports then faces new enemies- in the form of disbelief of- some police, some lawyers, some judges and some prosecutors. If a prosecutor does believe the victim- many will not prosecute- these cases do not apparently, "further their careers". Do not make the mistake of thinking that - legal intervention has anything to do with justice. It doesn't.
