The Evidence is here Part 7 Killing Our Kids


The Evidence is here Part 7     Killing Our Kids

Provincial Ontario government spends millions killing our kids but…
From Mary Janiga of CAS
17 deaths in foster care in ontario
107 deaths investigated by CAS under their supervision OMG
 
*************************************************************
 
Cuts by the province of Ontario have already started at the Children’s Aid Society and it’s because of this and other evidence, I would suggest more are coming.

The family court system and CAS are dysfunctional and the evidence is clear.

In a case I advised on, an alleged child abuser asked the court for visitation of his daughter. This case was sanctioned by CAS and paid for by Legal Aid.

CAS told him that he could have supervised visits.

When CAS was informed that their was a no contact order in effect, CAS ran for the hills never to be heard from again, as they were in fact attempting to breach a court order.

 This case lasted more than three years in family court and in the end he lost.

What a waste of taxpayer’s money.

The Evidence I Here Part 6 Treating poverty works like medicine


Adding to poor patients' incomes works to decrease the health effects of poverty, Canadian doctors are finding.

"Treating people at the low income with a higher income will have at least as big an impact on their health as any other drug I could prescript to them," Bloch said.

"I do see poverty as a disease," Bloch said.

For children in particular, the strong and frequent bombardment of "toxic stress" from living in substandard housing with adults who are also stressed can set the stage for lifelong damage, doctors say.

The Evidence Is Here Part 1 The Poorer The Sicker


The Evidence Is Here Part 1

The Poorer The Sicker

Sudbury's most economically deprived areas had more than four times as many emergency department visits for mental health episodes as the more well off parts of the city.

Premature mortality, before the age of 75, was almost twice as high in the more deprived regions. Obesity rates were twice as high in the deprived regions and infant mortality rates were 2.4 times higher.

The Sudbury and District Health Unit report said if the social gap between rich and poor neighbourhoods were eliminated there would be 14,077 fewer emergency department visits per year in the city, 1,783 fewer hospitalizations for all causes and 9,706 more people in the City who rate their health as excellent or very good
