March 3, 2010. I Go To Court Tomorrow
Sarah Laurin (Founder Failsafe)

I go to court tomorrow. I’m very upset that the CAS has acted in poor faith where the service of documents and continuing to involve my EX by serving him documents despite the fact that he was found in default and struck from court record back in Sept 2009. (as was my partner Mr Jakobsen although he has never been served documents despite being listed as a respondent.) The content of the affidavit of the child protection worker is misleading at best and downright damaging at worst,…
     My mother has been misquoted by the worker and several conversations have been taken out of context and yet theses documents are entered into the continuing record as fact. This is what the judge will read when he opens the case file. It is a foregone conclusion that if the CAS is involved there must be justifiable cause,… It has never been considered much less investigated that there was ever reason for their involvement in the first place. Anything I state or claim after the fact is exactly that- AFTER the fact,.. I have never felt that this case was properly investigated, allegations substantiated or concerns addressed. None of my statements have ever been given consideration by the judge- If anything I have had to repress remarks for fear of disgruntling the judge,..
     I am very concerned that again I must worry that my abusive EX will attend court. Then the possibility becomes a very real fear that he could petition the court for custody of our daughter,… As biological parent; his right for custody trumps that of my parents. I don’t even register in this equation as a result of the smear campaign waged against me by the CAS in our jurisdiction. It has never been mentioned in court that my EX systematically abused myself and our children from 1998-2004. Nor is it deemed important that he is in default in Family Court in Ottawa and owes court costs there. Neither is it mentioned that he owes over $14000.00 in unpaid child support and hasn’t played a role in his daughter’s life since she was 8 months old- she is 9 years old now,…
     I am more fearful of this individual than any other,… I also hold this person with more contempt and disdain than any other individual I have ever met,… Therefore; it goes without saying that I am extremely angry that he was provided with insight into my life,… Once again he is put in a position of power because he “has something over me” and a means to have access to my life,… I feel violated all over again and humiliated that he has the opportunity to revel in my “failure”.
     As of yet; CAS still has not proven that any of the allegations against me were valid. Their involvement cost me almost everything that I valued and I was “dragged through the mud” (metaphorically speaking) They are now willing to terminate their involvement. Essentially; they had no other recourse available to them because the court mandated time had expired. With no “wrong-doing” taking place-nothing different than in June 2009- they are removing themselves,… I doubt they will take as much time to exonerate me or apologize for the irreparable damage they inflicted on my family,…
     As I write; another family is embarking on the biggest roller-coaster ride of their lives as they find themselves under CAS scrutiny. I feel for their plight and that of other Ontario families at the mercy of the CAS!! Luckily; I made it out alive-my partner almost didn’t,…
