CAS now say son out west
Date Posted: 11/9/2006 6:59:14 PM

I don’t think the Kingston CAS can get any more stupider. After throwing me in jail the CAS is announcing that my son is heading out west with an unknown male. They don't bother to tell me about it I have to hear about it from the news.
My second son ran away from the Kingston CAS. He has been missing from them since August. My first son ran away from them 8 times. He is home legally now. I just got out of jail as CAS claimed that my runaway son is with me or I know where he is. I was made to turn him over or face jail. There is no evidence that I even know where he was or even could have turned him over. In family court no evidence is needed. So I got 30 days in jail.
Now here is the kick in the head; I just got a call from a friend in Kingston that the CAS is announcing on T.V. and on the radio that my runaway son is suspected of heading out west with an unknown male. No one tells me. I have to hear about it on the news. The CAS has not contacted me at all as to who they think he is with and how they got that information. I phoned the police who also told me that they don’t have any information. They may suspect that he is with a known pedophile and they can’t even tell me anything.
Clearly the Kingston CAS does not have a clue what they are doing.
This is just becoming stupider and stupider.
