Judgement in trial

[cfred]

I'm sure she didn't mean it as a jab....no one in here is that mean. I'm sure she's probably genuine in her question.

[FSD]

I agree...I didn't read it as a jab either. So sorry that this is happening to you! It's just disgusting what the judge said.....

I am so glad to hear this. That being said, is this not something CICPO could help support Tegan's mom with CFred? I know they came to be because of Bill10 but they are the best thing we have to a college/union to support us.

Which CAS is it Tegan's mom? We should all send an email to them letting them know our concerns about the outcome and how this makes us weary to report suspected abuse in the future. Might push them to help you more.

I'm glad to hear that CAS is not just sitting on the sidelines. In my mind, that sounds quite promising. I was under the impression that, in a position of authority and trust working with young children, that the onus is on us to report and that we're liable for failing to do so. I'm utterly shocked.

I can bring it up with the folks at CICPO. I don't think we'd be able to do much in the way of helping with the situation specifically, but will certainly ask. It could perhaps be spun to show the inherent risks of a vastly undervalued profession. I will bring it up. Teagansmom....are you ok with me passing your story on to the group?

I am absolutely horrified. Unless they proved malicious intent without doubt they CANNOT penalize you for reporting to CAS. That defeats the whole system. This is not right and not fair. And I am so pissed that you are suffering on this. The trial was bad enough...but to LOSE?
I agree with the above. Get CAS to help in writing. And GO TO THE MEDIA with CAS support. I imagine most parents and caregivers would be as outraged as this forum is.
ps: I think the question about insurance was a good one not designed to hurt you. I think she was most likely concerned about her protection in cases like this.
