Hi all First off let me say thank you to all the new members. with out you the board would be very dull.
With that said due to some guests not following the very simple rules of No bashing we had to start having everyone register in order to post.
Although we have narrowed it gown to a London IP address we still feel as if we needed to stop this from happening.
we would like every member to feel completely comfortable while visiting.

I have just joined and have a problem.My grandson is a crown ward of the CCAS. He is 7 and has been in foster care since a baby a few months old. The problem we have is he has now today I just heard been called by his foster Mom preverted and he is being sent to a group home in Kitchiner for kids with sex problems. I can't belive this and I am very worried about him. This will make him worse. I filed a complaint with the Ombusmans office but I was just told that he doesn't help in matters such as this. I have emailed his worker and the Directer Mary McConville.My son, his ex-girlfriend Bailey;s Mom and the other grandmother all don't want him to go there. What do you suggest can be done?Thanks

Hi Patricia I'm going to ask you to post in the child protection area you will find tons of support. you as the grand parent have as much rights to custody as the birth parent. I suggest filing to adopt him. there is no way the child is perverted at 7 years old first of all its physically impossible. second perversion is learned, if the child has been in care since being an infant he has seen it from his foster parent. move fast get a lawyer. I would say its not in the best interest of the child being only 7 to be placed with kid that have sexual problems, most likely teens. go to the the child protection area on this site you will find an area for grand parents. there is all kinds of info there. also the mandate is to not keep kids as wards for to long they have to place him in a perminate home, make your home his perminate home ...

Adoption is a much longer and more complicated process than custody. Custody has been made easier for child protection cases and the family of the child involved. The new additions to the Act applies to new cases and also to crown wards. All you need is a status review. What are you looking for as an alternative to the group home? What has been done in the last 7 years to bring this child out of foster care? I agree with Dean 100%. No child knows of sexual perversion at this age unless it is learned.
Please get back to us with more details of your intentions and we may be able to send you in the right direction. We are willing to help and give you all the information you need to get your problem sorted out. We cannot however do the work for you. You must be committed to following through with the information yourself. It may be a tough road to travel......we are here for support. We have a section for grandparents on this board as Dean said. There are many resources there and also the new amendments to the act.

a great source besides us and a great support is Betty at Cangran..yes we will try and help find a solution to this for you..wow this is crazy..a 7yr old..has the child been always with this foster family or being moved around alot? We take it that you still are able to see the child and have regular contact which is really a good thing. God Bless and Stay Strong..
