I wanted to talk to people about this for a long time but was not sure how to go about it...or even if I should talk about it.
She is still fighting them to this day...3 years later and I know if this information was to get back to them that they would make her life more horrible than it is now....
But after reading your post it was the story that popped the cork for me....people need to know HOW to protect themselves BEFORE they NEED to protect themselves....
People don't think that something like this can happen to them, because they think..."I'm a good parent, that could never happen to me"
All it takes is a vengeful person, a mistaken call, or even if someone thinks that your parenting is not up to their standards...
Nowadays that could be any trigger point for certain people and if you want a quick example of how easy it is to offend people....People are complaining that the cross walk lights depicting a walking man and not a woman....people bombarded city hall with complaints and now they are going to spend millions of taxpayer money in changing the lights to depict a more "inclusive" light....(even though to me it looks like its a bloody stickman this is happening...)
Now picture your shopping with your kids and they are acting up and causing trouble.....you raise your voice to get them under control...someone sees and disapproves...it's a call to CAS and now you are fighting for YEARS for your kids... It's that simple....it's that fast....
Now let's make things worse.....
Now in Ontario Canada, children are taught about sex ed at the age of 6...yes grade 1...
If your 6 year old comes home after getting taught about the difference between boys and girls and that it's normal for them to be which ever one they feel like and they decide that they want to pretend that they are the other sex....
Now It's quite a normal thing for a child to pretend to be a lot of things (monsters, GI.JOE, princesses etc, etc)..
Now add that the hormones are not developed at that age and most aren't even thinking about the opposite sex at that age to make a decision like that....yeah...bad news.
But if you try to change their minds....it's now classified as child abuse...and CAS gets called, kids get taken and you are stuck for YEARS fighting them....
It's gotta stop....
Thank you for writing and sharing these things. So many people need to know about this. This world is a scary place. So much heartlessness. Those who are there "to protect" aren't really there to protect; it's all a facade.
