I received an email from Linda Plourde from http://protectingcanadianchildren.ca
Hello Everyone:
A rally will take place on Monday, January 17, 2011 at 9:30am in front of Edmonton Provincial Court, to demand justice for an innocent little disable girl Samantha Martin that no one under the ministry care to see the cries of pain, and anguish as she was being mistreated, subject to profound neglect in foster care. Despite capabilities highly dangerous, disturbing evidence of abuse-that can only be described as inhuman-the abusers were excuse on the basis that foster parents as “employees” of the ministry will not be help culpable. Even more inhumane, this was happening under a long list of Ministry’s staff awareness, and in the absence of response. Abuse of children is above all, a serious crime against humanity. Protection of the right to life is primarily ensured by criminal law and failure to protect a child from ill-treatment at the hands of abusers is a criminal offence, and a human rights’ issue. Children with disabilities deserve respect, understanding, equality and support. This type of abuse can only happen when Executive Directors of Social Services allow this to happen, and turn a blind eye to it. They all did. They were supposed to be there to protect and keep her safe, but they all failed miserably, including child advocates and social services.
Monday, January 17, 2011 at 9:30am - Friday, February 11, 2011 at 5:00pm
Edmonton Provincial Court, Room 449
Law Courts, 1A Sir Winston Churchill Square, Edmonton, AB T5J 0R2
Please join us to protect the innocent, and to demand prosecute the criminals.
Life can be saved by joining us , and create an outrage. The story of Samantha is horrific. We need to stand up, and wake up...

Hello,
The inquiry has stalled so far as I can see. The use of the Ministry trickery regarding improper recording of information is a method which has often been used to prevent the use of legal inquiry into the issues of mistreatment in care. The Delegates are intentionally ignoring the law as it apllies to foster parenst as well as the policy which would prevent these abuses from taking place. They do not record them intentionally. They are permitted to do summary recordings and are encourac0ged to coiover up for the teams the visit supers=visors, the foster parents and the Police. Any of a number of abusers often do harm the children in care. In maqny cases the issue is well known and the offenders are known as well. Nothing is done about them and the Workers who are aware of the abuse do not tell and they do not investigate indicators of abuse from within their system. They cover them up and often the same foster parent has numerous victims as do the team members and social workers themselves. If a co=itizen makes a complaint they hostage take the child and attack the complainant. They threatene the child abuse them mercilessly unitl the parent either runs away afraid for other children or afraid that the abuse of her child will escalate. They continually attack the child in order to keep the child quiet as well. The abuse is heaped on quite often through chemical restraint and prevention of medical exam by an outsider. The isoalation of the child is another method used to prevent the parents from protecting her/him from them. There are so many individuals who pass through the child's life that when one finds another abusing a child they simply believe that it won't last long. If a worker reports abuse by a co-worker she is attacked and forced out their unions only protect offenders not whistle blowers.
