“Harmful Impacts” is the title of the commission report written by the Honourable Judith C. Beaman after two years of study. After reading it, “harmful” seems almost to be putting it lightly. The 56 cases the commission examined in which the flawed Motherisk tests, administered by SickKids Hospital between 2005 and 2015, were determined to have a “substantial impact” on the decisions of child protection agencies, led to children being permanently removed from their families and files being left open. According to the Toronto Star out of the cases they reviewed Motherisk reported positive results 93% of the time and lets say Motherisk only strongly influence decisons to apprehend children in 56 cases, how many times did Motherisk results strongly influence the decision to keep files open and how much did that cost the taxpayers? Removal from the home — permanent removal — is not supposed to be a move taken lightly. The report goes over the legal principles, laying out that it should be a last resort. It is the “capital punishment” of child protection, according to one citation, absolutely devastating to parents, and for children it is “often the beginning of a life sentence.” Yet in the cases reviewed here, it is imposed, often apparently cavalierly and without even a trial, for reasons that amount to a punishment for being poor. https://hunchneck.blogspot.com/2018/09/concerns-about-risk-assessment.html

Does anyone know why this agency is considered non governmental according to the website? And why do most of the workers do not have children? Are single parents of color targeted more as opposed to families who are white with two parents? And why does an agency more powerful then police, allowed to come into your home and remove your children?Canada, a country which promotes fairness, equality and freedom, allow such an entity to continue to practice since 1935. Curious as much as I am confused about the intentions of this agency and whether their mission statement matches their conduct, and if they abide to the Canadian Bill of Rights. Any thoughts, please don't hesitate to reply.

the poor reviews just goes to show that you have had a terrible experience with the agency yourself. Rather you should think about the endangered children that CAS supports and helps to get to a safe environment and then maybe it could not be thought as an obstacle for yourself. Instead it could be appreciated that the other kids that have been repremended are officially safe from danger/abuse/neglect.

I gave a thumbs up accidentally. The attitudes of the writer and myself are different. In the review, the basic safety of children is serious enough to invoke the legal interests of children's aid and the courts. Yet, the writer does not understand anything beyond his own comfort, “I wish you could know the pain in which you are putting me through, maybe that would show you how wrong the things you and the society can do.” "...I have told you I don’t do drugs over and over and for some reason you still don’t believe me. Just because I refused a test...". Dude, you ran out of excuses long ago. The courts said so.

To Huron-Perth Children’s Aid How can it be legal to rip apart a family? This will be the first thanksgiving in 12 years that I don’t get to make my children dinner. To sit and know that even with all the problems in my life over the years, I can smile and be thankful I have them. This year I don’t know what I am to do. You are keeping me away from the one thing I know I did right by. I wish you could know the pain in which you are putting me through, maybe that would show you how wrong the things you and the society can do. You have the power to help so many families. Yet I have told you I don’t do drugs over and over and for some reason you still don’t believe me. Just because I refused a test that you dropped on me at the worst possible time. I had offered to do another and hear nothing. The court will find my doctor’s test acceptable. You have no understanding of the pain being kept from your kids feels like. If the society would only help My fiancé and myself instead of being a obstacle. She is a wonderful person that has been through a lot. If the society put as much work in to helping her as they have in trying to find out problems she had, her two girls wouldn’t have gone through so much. Just as she did as a kid. I have never put my kids in danger, and if you could think that I could only shows how little you know of me and my children. I really did hope you could of helped me put together a great family. I hope one day you will realize you have miss judge Her and myself and start helping families so I can yet be thankful that all of this was not for nothing. Yours truly Brad Kennedy
