Mom Whose Children Kidnapped by Manitoba Child Protection Agency Hits Front Page of Globe
From Paul Fromm
Dear Free Speech Supporter:
We have to pinch ourselves to remind ourselves that this is Canada not communism at its very worst, where children were taken from their parents and the official ideology was that the children belonged to the state, not the parents. Yet, right here in Canada, in Winnipeg, Manitoba to be precise, two children were kidnapped from their White nationalist parents by meddling social workers ironically called the “Manitoba Child Protection Agency.”
The children were seized March 25. The 7-year old girl, of a White nationalist couple drew a swastika on her wrist. An easily offended priss of a teacher, in effect, assaulted the child and scrubbed the symbol off her arm. The mother helped the child draw the same symbol in magic marker on her arm that night and so she went to school the next day. Apparently. the school called the police and the child protection agency. The police started a “hate” investigation.
“’There were police officers there and I looked at them and said, ‘Is this because of the drawing on her arm?’ And they said yes, the mother recalled. She said she went home hysterical, terrified they would be coming for her two-year-old son as well. Sure enough, the knock at the door came quickly, and authorities plucked her son from her arms. ‘Apparently a swastika is an evil Nazi symbol and they felt the need to interfere in our lives and to interfere in how we raise our children,” she says.” (Globe and Mail, July 5, 2008)
“She says she is the victim of a state run amok, persecuted for holding political views that are outside the mainstream. Manitoba’s child and family services agency, although it can’t discuss the specifics of the case, says it is bound to intervene when a child’s physical or emotional well-being is at risk. Court documents say the parent’s conduct might endanger the emotional well-being of the children, and the children might be at risk because of the parent’s behaviour and associations.”
The social workers’ mandate for meddling is outrageous. Just what is the child’s “emotional well-being.” Many a parent is cold, aloof or neglectful or angers a child by punishing him or her. Do all these cases justify the snatching of the child from the parents. It’s clear that this is a case of outright political persecution. The parents are to lose their children because of their “associations.” (more…)
