As for this so-called Inquiry having the power to impact sexual abuse on a national scale, please read the Provincial Advocates Annual Report and you'll begin to understand why NOTHING will get done of any consequence whether provincial or nationally. As for your comment oh "silentnomore" regarding Perry Dunlop, he got the "shaft" from the system including his own force many times over, so if you think that what the coppers and the system did to Perry is OK, I guess you're in a dream world as they gave the victims the shaft by not doing something about it way back then. The cops, CAS, CCAS's, Min of C&Y oh and we can't forget the church in all this, all the way up to "Tricky Dick" our esteemed dictator for a few years will continue to cover their collective *sses as they have been doing all over this province for decades and decades and the abuse did and still does continue on unabated and will continue until laws are put in to hang the bastards who abuse ANY child and I'd gladly pull the lever to open the trap door. And oh yeh "silentnomore", your style of writing does quite well in giving us a hint as to the crap of silentnomore, you never were, just a different alias!!
Re: Child Advocate's Annual Report
To Y'all: I just finished reading Irwin's report and was talking with the
Star's Laurie who wrote the front page piece in today's Star. I also
talked with a reporter from the Sun and told him to check out Vivien
Song's column and Sam Pazzanno's column that they did when I brought
my case and problems within the "System" to their attention when we
were covering the "Jeffrey Baldwin" case at the Superior Court. I
told them that the Min of C&Y had a 40 page fax since 2004/5 that
they refused to answer to regarding a lot of these same conditions. I
was talking with Irwin's office today and they're calling me back as
I have offered them all of my files from the HWCAS, the 2CD's
recorded by the IPC during a tele-conference Adjudication against the
police and all of the paper-work that has been generated between me,
the HWCAS, the Hamilton cops in my 2nd FOI Request that has been
ongoing for 4 years and the reporter is calling me back. Also, I was
talking with Andrea Horwath's Executive Assistant Sheila White about
all of this as they have been "guiding" me for many years, good
people they both are, so I guess we'll see what happens from here on.
By the way, in that 40 page fax mentioned above, I bring up the fact
that neither the various CAS's & CCAS's nor the Min of C&Y will
provide NO statistics regarding kids under the age of 18 in their care
(?) and when the kids turn 18, the door is open and the CAS &
CCAS "wipe their hands" of these people (US!!!)! Nobody knows and or
cares about what happens to these kids and also, how do they know if
the "System" is working right if they don't evaluate their own stats
and the stats once the kids are released. We know and so do they but
with their "super immunity" they don't have to tell and also my
complaint about the Advocate having only the powers to "review" and
make "recommendations" with NO OVER-SITE powers to actually do
anything and that the whole thing should be given over to the
Ombudsman but it would appear that Irwin has a fine stubborn streak
in him and it doesn't seem like he's going to let them get away with
it. Any-who, I keep y'all up to date when I hear more. Dave 

Dave with your attitude and outlook it makes it difficult to want to help or even care
