When is the only time a police officer without reasonable grounds or probable cause allowed to search a home without a
warrant and get away with it?
Answer: When a child protection worker without any reasonable grounds to do so, invites the officer in and allows the officer to follow as they look for signs of child abuse or neglect under furniture, in closets, in your cupboards, refrigerator and in your child's diaper.
Former Privacy Commissioner Ann Cavoukian wrote:
"As the law stands now clients of the Ontario Children's Aid Society under Wynne's liberals are routinely denied a timely (often heavily censored) file disclosure before the court begins making decisions and the clients can not request files/disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act nor can censored information reviewed by the Privacy Commissioner of Ontario or the federal counterpart."
In her 2004 annual report, which was released on June 22, 2005, the Commissioner called for amendments that would bring virtually all organizations that are primarily funded by government dollars under FOI for the purposes of transparency and accountability: This would include the various children’s aid agencies in the Province of Ontario. Many parents and families complain about how difficult it is, if not impossible, to obtain information from children’s aid agencies. Many citizens complain that CAS agencies appear to operate under a veil of secrecy. Unlicensed and untrained CAS workers are making decisions which are literally destroying families, yet there is little or no accountability for their actions short of a lawsuit after the damage has been done.
Caseworkers have “as much power as God With no checks and balances, or judicial or ethical oversight before opening a file” and in the words of one former social worker. And they use it according to their diverse subjective impulses.
The only oversight comes from the government that funds the private non profit multi-billion dollar corporation and everything the CAS does is more secret than the X-Files.. Now what makes them a non profit is they return any money they haven't spent to the ministry who holds that money for them in case of a rainy day, like a bank would if they wanted to call it profit. Anyone who has been forcefully made a client against their will found violating their right to privacy faces fines and/or up to ten years imprisonment.
AN HOUR LATER THE CAT CAME BACK..
As you can here in the video above the police officer despite his claims is clearly doing more than just providing security and despite the worker's claim it was later revealed in FCSLLG case notes it was left up to the police office to attend if he wanted to.. Neither my wife or I have any history of violence and until this day we had always cooperated with the society without hesitation.
The audio in the video is a copy of the non emergency call obtained through the freedom of information act that sent three police officers racing through the streets of Smiths Falls one beautiful Monday morning about three years ago.
At no time were our children outside of our direct care nor were any matters of a criminal nature ever discovered that would require a police officer to attend any of the many times the Smiths Falls Police found another surprise opportunity to search our home without a warrant.
The police report stated there were no signs of a fight and the worst thing the police could say about our home, was it untidy, and there was no sign of criminal activities of any kind. Two of the officer reported a lack of food in the house to the CAS while a third officer reported there was plenty of food in the house. Neither my wife or I had any police involvement in many many years.
If you listen to the "What Parents Should Know" webinar the worker in this video literally does everything the experts say CAS workers don't do and shouldn't do: Compare what you see in the video to the webinar below.

Ontario's anti-SLAPP (strategic litigation against public participation) law came into force in 2015. The law is intended to discourage lawsuits aimed at the right of citizens to express themselves freely on matters of public interest without facing the threat of proceedings intended primarily to silence them.Nov 8, 2016. This 120 minute video is the beginning of the FCSLLG's internal complaint process. Unfortunately the complaint process came to sudden and complete stop when we wouldn't agree to sign a legally binding document agreeing not to document (record) the complaint process for legal purposes.
BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. DUE PROCESS DENIED
PART ONE: THE PERTH MEETING:
Meet Kim Morrow, former unregistered director of service for FCSLLG who has 30 plus years of experience and listen as she explains away as just being bumps on the road FCSLLG's failure to investigate objectively, taking a biased position throughout, and failing to reassess and adjust FCSLLG's position as FCSLLG had a statutory duty to do when faced with information that did not support FCSLLG's original position.
Watch Kim Morrow act like she's never seen the documents we filed with the family court and listen to intake manager Erin Lee Marcotte's reaction to Kim as Kim claims to have been unaware of the documents and listen Kim explains she doesn't feel a sworn affidavit should be a verbatim accounting of facts but should embody the spirit and intent of what happened. Listen also as Kim explains taking my family to court asking for a supervision order was just part of the society's investigative process.
It is my belief Kim was fully aware of the documents but was unaware we had actually sworn the documents in, officially served them and officially filed them with the court and hadn't just walked up to their office and just handed our children's confidential information over to Family and Children's services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville's legal department in person.
Unfortunately the complaint process came to abrupt and sudden end when we wouldn't agree to sign a legally binding document agreeing not to document (record) the complaint process for legal purposes.
It’s not about the legislation or standards for violating the Constitution and the Charter of Rights,
it’s about the ethics and application.

This is an audio of my wife's second and last conversation with the Director of Service for Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville regarding the progress of our complaint through the legislated processes.
You can hear Kim's desperation grow as she unsuccessfully attempts to manipulate my wife throughout this conversation:

Broadly speaking, Canadians can legally record their own conversations with other people, but not other peoples' conversations that they are not involved in.
183.1 Where a private communication is originated by more than one person or is intended by the originator thereof to be received by more than one person, a consent to the interception thereof by any one of those persons is sufficient consent for the purposes of any provision of this Part. [1993, c.40, s.2.]
The Criminal Code, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-46 [Criminal Code] imposes a general prohibition on interception (recording) of private communications, but then provides an exception where one of the parties to the private communication consents to the interception of that communication. Thus, broadly speaking, Canadians can legally record their own conversations with other people, but not other peoples' conversations that they are not involved in.
Other legislation in Canada protects various privacy rights, but does not prevent Canadians from recording their own conversations with others.
Here's an "apology" letter from FCSLLG's former director of service, Kim Morrow that doesn't really apologize, it actually blames us for everything they did wrong and it doesn't excuse the not so veiled threats to remove our children if we failed to cooperate fully without telling us of what we'd been accused of first - or for bringing my wife an I to court as part of their "investigative process" where at the same time this part of their claimed "investigative process" had not been concluded and without any determination of need the FCSLLG asked for the judge to order one year of supervision.
But we didn't get the "apology" letter till we posted the video Behind closed doors. due process denied.

THEN AFTER FCSLLG ALLEGED MY WIFE KELLEY DENHAM HACKED A SECURED INTERNET PORTAL FCSLLG REFEREED OUR FAMILY TO THE KINGSTON CAS.
YEAR TWO
Sun Wai, a University of Guelph graduate that has a BA in criminal justice and public policy who went on to become an another UNREGISTERED child protection social worker for Family and Children's Services of Frontenac, Lennox and Addington in Ontario. Sun Wai failed to investigate objectively, took a biased position throughout, and failed to reassess and adjust her position as she had a statutory duty to do when faced with information that did not support her original position or her sworn affidavit. Listen as Sun Wai explains the children's aid society's anti-oppressive policy.
Sun Wai in the video with the full support of her supervisor informs the mother she's not going to tell the mother what her concerns are and has made the decision to keep her "concerns" from the her because knowing what those concerns are would put too much pressure on the mother according to Sun Wai - just before telling the mother the society has filed for a supervision order of her children then refuses to serve the mother. How is that not putting intense pressure on the mother? It's abusive on so many levels.
After repeatedly promising to give, in writing, a list of concerns and the basis for them to the parents - this woman, close to 50 days later, claims that telling the parents her concerns about their children's safety might inadvertently harm their children - but if that's so, isn't preventing them from addressing her concerns (if valid) more likely to harm their children. Can Sun Wai's obvious malicious intentions be in the "best interest of the child."
EXCERPT :
The agency lawyer says she had no knowledge of what the previous letter relates to. She said she knew nothing about the family’s history before this referral. She also says this was done intentionally to prevent any bias or conflict with the investigation.
The CAS lawyer tried to argue the order was unfair (imagine that) then grabbed her stuff up and she and the worker Sun Wai were gone with their tails between their legs before we could leave the courtroom. It was a very good day. Not too long after, we dropped a small gift off to that Paralegal. If he hadn't been there, the CAS would in all likelihood be in possession of our children now.

This time we didn't get an apology letter or spend 5 months in court with them.. We received no apology at all.. The Judge ordered the Kingston CAS to pay our legal costs.
THEN FCSLLG REFERED MY FAMILY TO THE OTTAWA CAS.
For the 7th, 8th or maybe it's 9th time now... Here's the letter closing the file they've compiled against us threatening to ream us if we're reported again..
An alleged privacy breach at Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville (FCS) last year has led to the agency being sued for negligence, invasion of privacy and a breach of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
A multi-million-dollar class action lawsuit was filed in April 2016 against the agency as a result of a security breach that allegedly allowed for the names of 285 local children’s aid clients being published on Facebook, an offense made illegal under the Child and Family Services Act.
This week, lawyers for the plaintiff, named only as M.M., confirmed they filed a notice of motion in a Toronto courtroom to pursue claims of negligence, intrusion upon seclusion (invasion of personal privacy) and a breach of section 7 of the Charter (life, liberty and security of person) against FCS.
The suit initially alleged last year that someone hacked into the website to find the list, but lawyers for the plaintiff say an affidavit from Kelley Denham, the person who allegedly posted the location of the client list to Facebook and one of the defendants in the case, changed their course of action.
“We initially believed, based on quotes from (FCS executive director) Raymond Lemay and news reports, that this was a case of hacking of the secured FCSLLG website intended only for members of its board of directors,” Sean Brown, a lawyer with Flaherty McCarthy LLP who represents the plaintiff, told The Recorder and Times in an email.
“It now appears that this is not the case. Rather, it appears that the FCSLLG website was completely unsecured between February and April 2016, with the full knowledge of FCSLLG.”
The suit seeks $25 million in general damages, $25 million in special damages and $25 million in punitive, aggravated and exemplary damages.
Would you consider it safe and secure if all someone had to do was delete a portion of the address, hit enter and there it all is going back years?
Maybe in the TWILIGHT ZONE you would...
According to the suit, the personal information of the 285 clients was compiled into an electronic file, prepared for the service’s board of directors on new cases arising between April and November of 2015, but was not properly secured on the agency’s network.
This made the list publicly available to anyone, they said, and in her affidavit Denham explained how she came into possession of the sensitive and confidential documents.
She said she found and clicked on an unrelated document on the website intended for the public. She deleted a portion of the URL, and she was taken to a directory of folders with documents, within which she found the document with the names of local families.
She said she was never asked a username or password and was never faced with any security measures that impeded her ability to access the documents.
She said she attempted multiple times to advise the agency the confidential documents were available on the public website, beginning in February 2016, but the documents were still publicly available by late April 2016. This is when she decided to post the location of the report on the Facebook group where she claims she posted an image of a hyperlink, which was deleted by the group’s administrator within hours.
She said she did not hack any secure portals, rather the site was completely unsecured and she was able to access the files unimpeded.
She is listed in the lawsuit as a defendant and is being charged with intrusion upon seclusion.
According to her own website KelleyandDerek.com, she is also being charged criminally for matters in relation to this case that are still before the court, including: Theft under $5,000, mischief over $5,000, mischief to data, unauthorized use of a computer, traffick in identity information, and publication of identifying information.
Brown said the evidence offered by Denham voluntarily in support of their notice of motion “directly contradicts the narrative pushed by FCSLLG at the time of this alleged breach.”
“Our own client, M.M., was not previously aware of the facts as alleged by Ms. Denham,” he said.
“She believed and accepted the version of events offered by FCSLLG. She was both surprised and upset to read Ms. Denham’s Affidavit and learn that the version of events offered by FCSLLG at the time may not be true.”
M.M., the plaintiff in the case representing the class action, wrote in an affidavit her family was the subject of a FCSLLG investigation for a brief period in April 2015. She said her file was soon closed and no action was taken against her family, and that the investigation was short-lived and found no wrongdoing on the part of her or her partner.
“I did not expect to hear from FCSLLG again,” she wrote in the affidavit.
But her name was included as one of the 285 made publicly available during the security breach, according to the suit.
“The knowledge that my name was disclosed in the breached report has caused me distress, anxiety and humiliation. I fear that the fact my family was the subject of an FCSLLG investigation will brand both myself and my partner as child abusers, when this is categorically and unequivocally not true.”
None of the allegations have been proven in court.

Ms. Denham lodged complaints with both the Ministry and even Premier Kathleen Wynne's office, that personal information about the clients of Family and Children's Services of Lanark Leeds and Grenville, (FCSLLG) was accessible without password protection and that FCSLLG were fully aware that the information was readily accessible and unsecured. She also informed media both local and national. She exhausted every avenue to try to force FCSLLG to password protect the website or take it down. This informs all of us that we are powerless to protect our private information when we contact the proper authorities or the media. They were advised of the situation months prior and refused to protect the information on their website. They knowingly left the private information of their clients unprotected and only acted to shut down their website when Ms. Denham went public.

YEAR THREE
M.M. v. Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Children’s Aid Society, 2018 ONSC 5032 (CanLII)
[
6]
Now before the court are several motions for a diverse mix of procedural and evidentiary orders.
a. M.M. seeks to discontinue her action against Ms. Denham.
b. The Society, which, as noted above, had crossclaimed against Ms. Denham, seeks an Order converting its Crossclaim into a Third Party Claim and converting Ms Denham’s Crossclaim into a Counterclaim in the Third Party Action.
c. The Society seeks an Order that the Third Party Action including its Counterclaim be case managed in Toronto as a part of the class action and be tried together with or immediately following the class action.
e. Ms. Denham does not oppose the continuation of the crossclaims within a Third Party Action, but she opposes the request for case management in Toronto and asks the court to transfer the Third Party Action to Perth, where she lives and where apparently she will have a lawyer prepared to act for her in defending the Third Party Action and in prosecuting her Counterclaim.

The criminal trial had been previously scheduled to happen through August 8th to the 18th last year but was canceled after the Perth crown was forced to admit the alleged victim (FCSLLG) of the hack was unprepared to go to trial and testify after Kelley refused the second of four offers to plead guilty for a slap on the wrist and one request to sign an agreed statement of FCSLLG's version of the facts made by the crown. FCSLLG lawyers are also asking the class action Judge to order Kelley to stop blogging about it in order to protect her children claiming Kelley is an attention whore.

A hyperlink by itself, should never be seen as “publication” of the content to which it refers.
Only when a hyperlinker presents contents from the hyperlinked material in a way that actually repeats the content, should that content be considered to be “published” by the hyperlinker; hyperlinks are, in essence, references which are fundamentally different from other acts of publication.

ALLEGED ONTARIO CAS HACKER KELLEY DENHAM'S TRIAL ADJOURNED.

A new program being offered in Smiths Falls, Bridges out of Poverty, helps participants assess their lives and give them the agency, confidence and a plan to move beyond their current circumstance. And while the program is new in town, it's not new to the world.
“Bridges out of Poverty is a movement, a movement that calls on the entire community to help build bridges out of poverty for local families,” said co-facilitator of the program, Kelley Denham. "It’s in six countries now. In Canada, it’s big in Sarnia and Lambton area."
The Adult Learning & Training Centre, along with Lanark County Mental Health, Ontrac, Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Health Unit, Rideau Community Health Services and Health Link Rideau Tay, brought the Bridges out of Poverty initiative to Smiths Falls for the first time this spring.
https://www.insideottawavalley.com/news-story/8773652-smiths-falls-program-helps-participants-build-bridges-out-of-poverty-/
The group, made up of seven people, including two youth, a senior, somebody in housing who was a mother of three young kids and three people on Ontario Disability Support Program, participated in the inaugural run of the program. All seven participants graduated in June. The group met once a week for 12 weeks.
The program is based on the work of Ruby Payne, American educator and author known for her work on the culture of poverty, including the invisible rules of the social classes.
“It’s really cool stuff,” said Denham, who has real-world experience dealing with poverty, she realized the effectiveness this program could have on others. “It made a lot of sense to me having been poor, and then not poor, and then poor again, and then not poor.
“I know how hard it is because you’re living day-by-day, you’re just surviving," she said. "You’re not going to think about tomorrow if you don’t know what you’re going to eat today. It’s impossible.”
Before the Bridges out of Poverty program, Denham had been trying to help people on a one-on-one basis. But after seeing a Bridges out of Poverty workshop, put on by Gayle Montgomery, while attending Algonquin College she knew there could be potential to bring the program to town.
“She’s explaining how to get out of poverty and I’m like: ‘That’s exactly what I did. This is the road map. This is how you do it.'”
Last August, a working group formed in town and the program was born.
Participants work on creating their “future stories” as well as thinking critically about what poverty means, how to break the cycle of poverty to create life choices, and what nuances exist when thinking about class structures.
“This model defines poverty as the extent someone does without resources,” explained Denham. Poverty isn’t solely defined by income; the reasons that keep people in a cycle of poverty is complex.
“Most organizations either say it’s individual choices that keep people in poverty and others say it’s systemic barriers that keep people in poverty,” said Denham. “The reality is it’s a mix and in order to address poverty we need to address it at all of these levels.
“A lot of people in poverty believe they are faded — nothing will ever get better, there’s no other options, I had kids young I’m always going to be poor and that’s just it.”
The aim of the workshop is to help individuals identify which of their resources are low and work toward building them with whichever resources they have that are high.
Bridges out of Poverty participant, Faith-Marie Donaldson, speaks about the program and how it helped her build confidence and agency to help her, help herself. — Evelyn Harford/Metroland
One participant, Faith-Marie Donaldson, 24, said the program helped develop her agency to take control of her own situation. Since graduating from the program in June, Donaldson has landed a job and has plans to get the rest of her four credits required to receive her high school diploma.
“I’ve been wanting to get a job for a while, but with anxiety it was nerve-racking to take the first step,” she said. “I think it’s because of this group, I was able to take the first step. Everybody needs a push once in a while.”
This program, said Donaldson, has helped give her the confidence she needed to move forward.
“It’s really eye-opening, educational,” she said. “I don’t think I’d be where I am without this group. I want to make a difference in this world — but my confidence to do it was actually pretty low.”
Donaldson has seen both sides of the coin — experiencing life in poverty as well as in the middle class — and now living somewhere in between.
“Growing up, we were always OK with money,” she said.
But when her dad lost his job at Hershey, an employer he had worked for since he was a teenager, things changed.
“We struggled a lot with money.
“It was a weird transition,” she said of experiencing poverty for the first time. “I was so young. I didn’t realize the impact.”
Donaldson explained that there’s a stigma that’s attached to being poor and the invisible divide that separates those in poverty from those in the middle and upper classes.
And why, she said she always finds a way to be nice to others.
“You have no how much they (others) could be struggling,” she said. “You have no idea what they’re going through.”
Being poor comes with a lot of fear, explained Donaldson.
“But,” she said. “When you have a community (to support you) it helps soften the blow.”
And while community does come together, Donaldson feels that more empathy, tolerance and acceptance, is needed.
“We need to actually come together as a community,” she said. “We need to understand what the other side of the fence is going through or else we’re always going to get stuck in the patter of stigma and judgment.
“Until we do that, nothing is going to get better."
Donaldson’s advice to others considering the program: “Go for it.”
Now Donaldson has a job, is moving out of her parents’ house, and has an offer to help co-facilitate a program at Lanark County Mental Health. She also got an offer to help co-facilitate the Bridges out of Poverty group.
Donaldson said she always wanted to go into counselling but didn’t think she could do it. But, now with these recent offers, her confidence to chase her dreams has been reignited.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
In order to get as many people through the door, the Bridges out of Poverty program takes care of everything for their participants — including child care and lunch.
Along with donations from involved agencies, the Bridges out of Poverty program has received donations from Andress’ Independent Grocer and Apple House Art Gallery. Apple House Art Gallery founder, Patricia Mosher, has also volunteered her time to provide the child-care and has developed an artistically-focused curriculum. The Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute’s hospitality class has provided lunch, while Glad Tidings church in Perth is providing snacks which is likely breakfast for many participants.
The second round of Bridges out of Poverty will start this September. If you would like to participate reach out to Kelley Denham at kelley.denham@altclanark.com.

WHY CAN'T KELLEY DENHAM GET A FAIR TRIAL IN PERTH ONTARIO..
TRIAL UPDATE: 18/08/28.
At today's trial adjournment application hearing decision the judge stated that though it would be in Kelley's best interest to have a lawyer present at her trial the judged denied the application and reasons for the application in regards to any new information that conflicts with information in the criminal proceedings uncovered by the College of Social Work's investigation into a complaint made by FCSLLG's project manager Margret Row and FCSLLG's lawyers (Fasken) in the civil proceedings in which recently Miss Denham was dropped as a defendant in the $75 million dollar class action suit leaving FCSLLG the sole defendant in the suit.
Ransomware attacks at two children’s aid societies have spurred the Ontario government to tighten cyber-security around a new, $123-million provincial database for children in care.
One of the agencies — the Children’s Aid Society of Oxford County — paid a $5,000 ransom to regain access to their sensitive data after the malware attack on their local servers on Jan. 18, according to sources with knowledge of the incident.
Officials with the other agency — Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville — saw an claim an English ransom message flash on their computer screens, demanding $60,000, when they tried to access their database in November or so Mr Lemay claims but whether or not they can prove there was a message or a virus remains unknown. Guess we just have to take them at their word, again.
“It encrypted most of our servers,” says the Lanark agency’s executive director, Raymond Lemay. “No data was taken out of our system. It was just an attempt by whatever you call these people to get a ransom.”
Lemay says his agency didn’t pay up. He says it used an offline backup of computer files to get the agency up and running again in about eight hours.
Lemay says the ransomware attack cost his agency $100,000 to fix, an expense covered by his agency’s “cyber insurance.”
How does that cost $100 000?
Cybersecurity experts from the province’s Ministry of Children and Youth Services, along with a private internet security firm, swooped into the agency to neutralize the malware in the infected servers.
“It took them about three weeks to find the needle in the haystack,” Lemay says.
The ransomware attack locked the agencies out of local online files that contained private information on the children and families they serve.
The computer virus attacked while the Lanark agency was uploading its data to a centralized database known as CPIN. It will allow societies across Ontario to share information more easily and better track how children in foster care and group homes are doing.
QUESTION: WAS ENTERING A PASSWORD STILL OPTIONAL?
Who was uploading the information and why wasn't the problem detected before or during the upload?
“They might have taken advantage of vulnerabilities that occurred because we were changing over to a new system,” Lemay says of CPIN. That’s one of the hypotheses, but we don’t know for sure.”

If "everyone is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than 10 years, or is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction who intercepts or ->causes<- to be intercepted, directly or indirectly, any function of a computer system," wasn't FCSLLG guilty of committing an offense when Kelley was inadvertently and without intention able to access the information without logging on to FCSLLG'S public information website or FCSLLG's alleged secure portal OR DOES THE LAW SAY SOMEWHERE - UNLESS THEY'RE GROSSLY INCOMPETENT, NEGLIGENT, AND WORK DIRECTLY FOR THE GOVERNMENT?
->CAUSES<- THROUGH ACTION OR INACTION?
The Perth crown's office after stalling setting a trial date for nearly a year and then cancelling the first trial date one week before it was supposed to begin claimed that trial had been cancelled weeks before the trail date as a joint request from the defense and the crown's office which was and is a flat out lie..
The crown then stated he was unaware of any new evidence uncovered by the College investigation and that he was unaware the College had completed a year long investigation of their own into the matter to which Miss Denham had only just recently received a very interesting disclosure from with many relevant documents and testimony from the breach the police investigation and crown had failed to include in the criminal case and FCSLLG had failed to turn over to the court and the crown appeared to be totally unwilling to look any further into the matter of other documents and testimony that might be relevant though he did say he had a duty to review the case if new information did become available.
Kelley's lawyer after the first trial date had been canceled left the case when Kelley was unable to afford the added costs of the many many delays and final cancellation of the first trial date that was set that her lawyer had been available for.
The judge's reasoning to deny the application was the case had already inconvenienced the court for two years and Miss Denham's application and inability to just go out and find and retain another lawyer who specializes in these kind of cases was just untimely and that he could not see how any new information uncovered by either the much lengthier College investigation or the class action that conflicts with the crown's case would be relevant in the criminal case against Miss Denham and any evidence from those two parallel proceedings would remain separate from the criminal trial and Kelley will not be allowed to use any of it in her criminal defense..
Hmmmm... Any conflicting evidence or evidence contrary to the crown's case isn't relevant?
The system has gone from protecting the CAS to protecting a totally corrupt crown..

UNPRECEDENTED HACK: TRIAL UPDATE: 18/08/21
Kelley's trial confirmation hearing yesterday was adjourned till next Tuesday to hear an application for a trial adjournment that would allow Kelley's new lawyer time to prepare for trial.
::::
UNPRECEDENTED HACK: TRIAL UPDATE: 18/08/14.
Can Kelley Denham get a fair trial in Perth Ontario?
Well, here's how things stand now.
Whether or not Kelley Denham will have a lawyer for her trial is now contingent on the judge approving an application for an adjournment made by a lawyer willing to take her case that sites a lot of case law and new discoveries among other things and she is not available for the date currently set for the trial to start ..
The Perth crown who justified refusing a request to share the criminal disclosure with class action lawyer Sean Brown by claiming he was protecting Kelley's right to a fair trial is opposed to the application.. It seems like protecting a defendant's right to a fair trial has a very convenient on off switch..
Before the actual application was made the judge stated there would be no more delays.. Not once in two years has Kelley asked for a delay till now and the judge has bent over backwards to accommodate the crown on the behalf of FCSLLG.
A town divided, a family in peril with the child protection industry on the brink of exposure a working mother of four young children is denied legal aid and finds herself alone after paying a $5000 retainer to a lawyer who is no longer available for trial. She is now single handedly battling against a small army of CAS lawyers and the Perth crown's office to keep the truth from being sealed away by the the courts.
Despite the all out efforts of a multi-billion dollar government funded private corporation and a small army of unscrupulous high priced lawyers to misrepresent or omit relevant facts and slander, discredit and shame Kelley Denham in the media and the courts, her work at the ALTC and her efforts with the Smith's Falls Mission continue to make our community a more open and all inclusive community.
Kelley Denham, mother of four has been charged with theft under $5,000, mischief over $5,000, mischief to data, unauthorized use of a computer, traffick in identity information, and publication of identifying information all because she posted a picture of a hyper-link to Facebook.
Representing the Children's Aid Society (FCSLLG) is Fasken, formerly Fasken Martineau DuMoulin, an international business law firm with approximately 700 lawyers and offices in Vancouver, Surrey, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal, Québec City, Beijing, London and Johannesburg.
The Crime Hump Chronicles: Concurrently Speaking. Part 22
Meanwhile in civil court…
Right after my criminal court appearance, I head down to the local office supply shop for some help with faxing documents. This store has been like a second office to me for years. This is how I serve my statement of defence to the agency’s crossclaim against me in civil court. This is probably the most important document in the civil case for me to file. There is a case conference and a motion happening this month. I’ve done a lot of work and travelling to Toronto to make sure nothing stalls the process. The plaintiff made a motion to request my criminal crown disclosure. I, of course, consented to this. I will be relying on the evidence within as well. The Civil Crown, however, said no as it may jeopardize my fair trial rights. I am preparing to argue that it will actually safeguard my fair trial rights, not impede them. I sense another blog series may be necessary.

IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE...
Ontario's CAS grappling with how to monitor privacy breaches. July 17, 2017 ARTICLE SOURCE Toronto Star.
Child welfare workers who pry into electronic records of youth in care are impossible to track, critics warn, with an alert system for possible privacy breaches used only on select files.
The challenge of tracking who is using the system isn't unique to the new system, as previous independent children's aid society databases faced the same problem, according to Elman.

Lake 88.1 “In Focus”interview with LAO’s Andreas Von Cramon and Nathalie Champagne: Date: April 8, 2014.
Description: Transcript of April 8th, 2014 “In Focus” interview by Bob Perreault from Lake 88.1 FM in Perth and Andreas Von Cramon, Supervisory Duty Counsel Criminal/Family Law and Nathalie Champagne, District Area Director, Ottawa Region.
Anderas von Cramon Supervisory Duty Counsel Family, Criminal Law in Brockville, Lanark, Leeds and Grenville and is married to the CAS in house lawyer for FCSLLG, Karynn Von Cramon.
Anderas von Cramon operates a free family law clinic for families dealing with the CAS out of the courthouse to provide advice to people and to help them to prepare for family law cases, or to try to resolve their family cases outside the court. (sign consent forms and service agreement)
Parents go in praying for competent representation and good advice and instead get someone willing to bill legal aid to guide the parents through the process of having all their rights, dignity and children stipped away from them. According to legal aid right now family lawyers willing to accept legal aid bill an average of $40 000 dollars per case for not filing documents or filing them after the court has already granted the society a supervision order.. Or the society requests the judge order the parents to sign consent or service agreements after the parents have refused to sign anything and the judges oblige the society by ordering the parents to just cooperate.
Anderas von Cramon also gives basic help drafting documents. Basic means what? It means no help swearing in and filing documents or serving the document before the deadline - which means he does less than nothing.

DEFINITION of 'Protected Cell Company (PCC)'
A corporate structure in which a single legal entity is comprised of a core and several cells that have separate assets and liabilities. The protected cell company, or PCC, has a similar design to a hub and spoke, with the central core organization linked to individual cells. Each cell is independent of each other and of the company’s core, but the entire unit is still a single legal entity.
The basic principle behind cell organization is simple: By dividing the greater organization into many multi-person groups and compartmentalizing and concealing information inside each cell as needed, the greater organization is more likely to survive unchanged if one of its components is compromised and as such, they are remarkably difficult to penetrate and hold accountable in the same way the mafia families, terrorist organizations and the Ontario Children's Aid Societies are.
BREAKING DOWN 'Protected Cell Company (PCC)'
A protected cell company operates with two distinct groups: a single core company and an unlimited number of cells. It is governed by a single board of directors, which is responsible for the management of the PCC as a whole. Each cell is managed by a committee or similar group, with authority to the committee being granted by the PCC board of directors. A PCC files a single annual return to regulators, though business and operational plans of each cell may still require individual review and approval by regulators.
Cells within the PCC are formed under the authority of the board of directors, who are typically able to create new cells as business needs arise. The articles of incorporation provide the guidelines that the directors must follow.
The current hierarchical corporate structures that dominate our economies have been in place for over 200 years and were notably supported and defined by Max Weber during the 1800s. Even though Weber was considered a champion of bureaucracy, he understood and articulated the dangers of bureaucratic organisations as stifling, impersonal, formal, protectionist and a threat to individual freedom, equality and cultural vitality.

FANTASY TRUTH IN POLITICS
Maybe had the government allowed the Ombudsman or the Privacy Commissioner or the College of Social Work oversight of the children's aid society there'd be somebody else the government could blame for the CAS but the government has the only oversight of the children's aid society from the start..
