I was sent a PM today by someone suggesting that John Tory may be a sympathetic ear for complaints regarding the abuse of taxpayer funding by the Children's Aid Societies in this province. Below is a copy of the letter I personally sent to Mr. Tory this afternoon. Readers are free to copy and paste if they like to use as a template for their own letters. You will have to modify names and such to suit your own circumstances but the basics are there for you. Please be sure to insert the last paragraph if nothing else. It is the most important. Please everyone do their part and send your letters. We all have to fight together to win. Wars are not won alone they are won by the best team.

Dear Mr. Tory,
RE: Concerns about the waste of taxpayer monies and abuse of power by the Children’s Aid Societies in Ontario
I have recently had the misfortune of being involved with the Children’s Aid Society of Toronto and I am left utterly disgusted with the way my family has been treated by this supposed Child Welfare Agency.
Without going into specifics we have been treated like second rate citizens, been threatened and coerced by workers claiming to act in the best interests of our children. For two and a half years the CAS has dragged on a needless court battle, bankrupted my family and forced us into poverty. Workers attended my home under the guise of “supervising the child”.
For two years employees of the CAS have been attending my home and ignoring my child who is supposed to be the focus of their involvement. I have many videotapes of my worker visiting the home, sitting on my couch watching television and discussing his interests and summer vacation. Sadly if my child had truly been “AT RISK” as the CAS claim they would have failed this child like they fail so many others in this province.
Although the CAS own mandate is to see “AT RISK” children once a month periods of 3 months or longer have passed with no word from the worker. Our daycare provider also indicated to me that she has not seen any CAS workers in months. The CAS has no concerns for the safety of my child and are merely keeping a file open on my family to receive funding.
I am well aware that not only the CAS of Toronto but all child welfare agencies in this province are out of control.
To date I have not voted in an election but I am considering doing so at this point. If I were to vote for your party, what specifically will your party do to help clean up the corruption and abuse of taxpayer funding by the Children’s Aid Societies in Ontario?
Please provide me with a written reply at your convenience.
Sincerely,
