Former senior worker with York Region CAS pleads guilty in court for stealing money and candy from a child in care of the York Region CAS. (October 20, 2006) A former supervisor with the York Region CAS, Donna Lennon, pleaded guilty yesterday in Newmarket, Ontario court to stealing money and candy from a child who was under her supervision and in the care of the York Region CAS. Ms. Lennon, a child protection worker for over 20 years with the CAS, was given a conditional sentence and allowed to go back into the community. The mother of the child in care said she could not believe how long it took the case to finally get resolved as Ms. Lennon made many court appearances prior to pleading guilty. "It must have cost the taxpayer's thousands of dollars in this case." said the mother of the child who had been victimized by the former York CAS supervisor. Although the police were able to catch this thief this time, a number of parents who had dealings with Ms. Lennon felt that she had likely been stealing from other children for a long time but just never got caught previously.
