This Blog will discuss politics, government, corruption, police, S.I.U., courts, education, min. of attorney general, min. of labour, v.o.i.c.e. and other current and past events of interest to concerned citizens. In the "About me" section to the right and down I have included the names of persons whom I have tremendous respect for. Their influence on me however has been primarily environmental (and personal) and this is therefore a disclaimer that all words posted on this Blog/Website are mine and I alone am responsible for them. I say this with the greatest respect and affection to my friends.

AT LAST ONTARIO MOVING INTO MODERN YOUTH CARE IN GROUP HOMES, YOUTH JUSTICE FACILITIES etc.



Today's Waterlooo Region Record carrys this story titled "Ontario vows improve care in foster homes, youth jails". The sub-title is "Scathing report by expert panel slams government". This improved care also includes children in foster homes and oversight of the myriad of Children's Aid Societies and other for profit and non profit service providers. The report was written by authors from Ryerson Unieversity, McGill University and former deputy minister Deborah Newman.

The Ontario government was slammed for their hands off, eyes closed, ears covered supervision of the entire system. There were multiple abuses and negligent behaviour publicized over the years with little positive intervention by the governments of the day. The Ministry of Children and Youth Services Minister Tracy Charles would not commit to the first of 33 recommendations made namely that a Quality of Residential Care Branch be created within her ministry "to provide governance, oversight and accountability for all child protection services". Hard to believe that such an important ministry to the day to day life of both parents and children could have suffered at best such benign neglect.
