Book Information
When I started to write this book, it was the first time I had ever published anything. I learned so much, even the cost of printing, and how much more it will cost with colour. So you can imagine the first time I approached a printer, he was asking $85.00 a book because of all the colours. I left awfully quickly. I shopped around and I have done my best to try to keep the cost down.

How Protecting Canadian Children Started
Protecting Canadian Children was started when I immediately realized the failure of humanity toward families, and children in Canada. It is a mission of life and death, and a mission of love. It was not hatched by funding, but it was built by me and Visa. It offered no pay and less sleep. I dug into my own time and into what little savings I had.
Protecting Canadian Children grew in strength with the participation of everyday people united by a common goal- to ensure that no child will ever be used again as "merchandise" for the benefit of any institution, organization or Child Protective Services. Their safety and well-being is paramount not only for the sake of those children, but also for the whole of society.
In 2004, I received a frantic phone call from my daughter that Children's Aid was in her home. I was glad to hear they were there to help her with her family, or so I thought. I was your typical Canadian who truly believed that the Children's Aid was strictly there for the "best interests of the child" as outlined on their website. I soon found out that child protection has become a booming business, and our government has sold out our most precious resource on earth – our children!
I could never have imagined what followed, or believe what I witnessed with my own eyes. I will never forget as long as I live the horrific, cruel, and callous scene I saw the first time I set foot in the Children's Aid office. In no time at all you become suicidal; you simply cannot bear the pain. I was in hell! I became an eyewitness to the failure of humanity in our good country. The disastrous hell of the Children's Aid can no longer be ignored by the government, and by the people. This is not only my account, nor a study, or research of the breakdown of Children's Aid. This is real! This is about humans who are entrusted with helping families; instead, I watched people in control feed on the blood of the children who they were there to protect. I have watched with horror and frustration the passive, immoral attitude toward innocent families who desperately stand on their own like the Martin Family, and many others. I have witnessed firsthand what our Child Protective Services have become. It's toxic. In my opinion I feel we have now a third world war with Children's Aid. Children, the disabled and the elderly are the targets.
It does not represent who we are as Canadians, but represents what the Ministry has become. But there is nothing that can't be done if we raise our voice as one. Do you see the power if we change the I to WE???
Please stand tall for the little ones. For the love of children.
I want my children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews to know why mom, Ma tante, (auntie) and Mimi, were never the same after dealing with Children's Aid. I want them to know the best gift I can possibly give them while I am on this planet is a good country where no children should be robbed of their childhood because of greed. I want them to know that Grandma tried.
