STORY 50

A local criminal board did not want me to admit publicly that children’s aid  and police failed to keep myself and sister safe. She died and I survived.

Taken by children’s aid it took me years to get adoption paperwork. They refused to give me full disclosure as they feared retribution and mailed me a non disclosure.

When I filed with a criminal board I asked that I could see the offenders in an open hearing, charge them criminally and have them put on a sex offenders list. I wanted my day in front of those who molested me. Instead I got paper stating it would be a closed hearing and was offered 12,000 with publication ban. Also money for therapy with approved therapists.

Crucially, I want to publish a book about my childhood and can’t. I want more therapy but the criminal board limited my sessions amount and price per session. 

So no one was charged, I couldn’t save other kids, My nightmares led to PTSD. I couldn’t give justice to my sister either (even making statement at police station as an adult and they couldn’t find her dead body). The police ruled her suffocation an accident years back. So no justice for either of us.

The publication ban should be lifted. I hope my story can help or direct me how I can assist in making change.
