Did they stick to the Act?

The only way to find that out is to investigate. And that needs to be done.

 

[petros]

They and the cops did investigate so start with the Act and the investigation ability that empower police and CAS and work your way down.

Did they follow the guidlelines the Province of ON set? If yes then it's the Provincial guidelines that should be attacked if CAS didn't meet those guidleline then look at them.

Possibly both? The article does say: "The CAS kept her and her half-brother in his care despite Hassan's drug use, criminal record and neighbours' reports of neglect and abuse". I kind of doubt the provincial guidelines allow for a child to be given in custody to someone who has a history of criminal acts as well as multiple reports of abuse made against him.

Looks like CAS isn't very popular: http://www.fixcas.com/news/2012/Parker.htm

There's no logic in removing a child from a biological parent because the parent is a drug addict, then putting a child in the custody of an addict. Then replacing the child with the same addict after the foster parent went to rehab. There are enough red flags in the history of the file that makes it compulsory to review that file and how it was handled.

Looks like CAS isn't very popular: Lawsuits against Ontario's Children's Aid Societies

They have been known to eff up on plenty of occasions.

Her parents were the better option? What were they? Junkies who would have starved them? They don't just take kids away without damn good reasons.

False dichotomy. Her parents and Hassan weren't the only choices.

To take it step further in tludicrousus land, she should bsuingng the pedophile who abused the pedophile since the vast majority of pedophiles were once abused themselves.

Well, first off, I don't see anything in the article about anybody suing anybody, except the Crown suing Hassan (which is kinda weird, I mean, what business is this of Queen Elizabeth's, FFS?).

Secondly, the fact that the girl's parents were scumbags doesn't let CAS or Hassan off the hook. That's like saying if someone has been mugged and left bleeding and unconscious on the sidewalk, and you come along and steal his shoes, the theft of the shoes is the fault of the original mugger.

They knew he was a pedophile? He was wearing a neon sign in the application interview?

They knew he had a pretty extensive rap sheet. They knew they had reports indicating physical and sexual abuse.

People are selfish

What, all of them?

and there is a massive shortage in families willing to take kids in. If people weren't so fvcking selfish, there would have been better placement options.

Irrelevant. When the government takes kids away from their homes, the government becomes responsible for their welfare.
