I have been to court a few times and held clients hands and fought for justice that failed a young woman and her three children. A known and alleged pedophile and abuser of women was let off the hook by a Hamilton Judge last week. But the judge did feel compelled to hold the accused (after he was acquitted) to a peace bond restricting his access to the victim for a total of one year. There is a new term out there that is now called a “COMMON LAW PREVENTATIVE JUSTICE PEACE BOND”.
I read a lot in the paper, and on the Internet.
I get ANGRY about the amount of the abuse that goes on within our justice system. Jeffrey Baldwin’s grandparents/killers even abused the system this week to appeal their sentencing in the courts. This appeal was squashed before it was even heard by the judges. The grandparents stating cruel and unusual punishment for their crimes and that the sentencing was too harsh for what they had done.
I think the real reason the appeal did not continue was there was still the issue of how accountable the CCAS was, when they were involved in this family at the time. This is the reason we need accountability within the Children’s Aid Societies of this Province with BILL 131.
This will prevent the deaths in the foster care system and in the family home by grandparent and parents that are supposed to be under the watchful eye of the CAS/CCAS.

I heard from a few flashes from my past this week. It was a very cautious and heartbreaking moment of remembering about what happened that tore our family apart so brutally on March 24, 2005.
Our 6th year Memorial Day is coming up and it will be two thousand one hundred and ninety days (DAY 2190) since our children Vinny and Paige have not been in our home.
Not a day goes by that I haven’t thought about them or wonder what they are doing.
