| A mother who has done everything in her power to gain custody of her son but has been blatantly criticized and wrongly judged for history that is no longer reality! |

To all whom are interested:
I am now a 30-year-old woman who has served my time for a crime that I committed in 2009. I was 7 ½ months pregnant at the time when a man came, uninvited, kicking down my back door while I was preparing to hold my baby shower. He demanded money from me and began to dismantle my computer and threatened to drop the television set on me. I immediately got up and steadied the T.V. and asked him to leave my house when he disrespected me and the few guests who had began to arrive by yelling and swearing. I stepped over toward him and asked him to leave again; he refused. A scuffle commenced and I. In fear for my unborn child, stabbed the man once in the chest not thinking of the consequences for both him and I! After realizing what I had done, I called 911 demanding them to hurry for this young man was badly injured. To my surprise it took them 20 minutes to arrive on the scene.
I gave birth to a healthy baby boy, who was born on April 16th 2009. Since then it has been a fight that I would have never thought possible, a fight that no parent should ever endure! I was character bashed by the Children’s Aid Society (CAS); they deprived me of my rights as a mother and they lied to me on several occasions. I am not the only one who has been wronged by the CAS and I am not going to sit here and let them walk all over me while they try to take my son from me! I am encouraging every one who has been mis-treated by CAS to step forward and fight along with me! CAS says that I am a monster, that I am a bad person and I do not deserve to be a mother! They are wrong! I have taken steps to prove that I am not a monster, and that I am and will be a great mother. Yet, they still continue to manipulate the courts into believing that I am unworthy of being a parent. This is wrong; this has turned out to be “a cruel and unjust punishment!”
In the summer of 2009, I went to court and Justice Zisman had granted me access. By law the CAS was to bring my son to visit me every two weeks while I was incarcerated. They did this for a few months then they stopped. They came up with excuse after excuse; the weather is not good, it was either to hot or to cold; the baby was sick; it was too far of a drive! They came up with every excuse they possible could to not continue to bring my son to bond with me. Not only did they take away our bond they have also deprived Adam-Orion the right to grow up in his culture. My son is a French, part of the Micmac nations, an Aboriginal, on my side of the family and East Indian on his father’s side. These traditions and cultures that he will be missing in his life will be like blood on the hands of the CAS. They have truly begun to destroy the life of a young boy who is unable to speak for himself. In my eyes and in the eyes of God they are criminals themselves. In the Bible you do not hear of children being taken from their mothers, except for the time that Moses was born and even then he was given back to be raised by his mother!
This was the most heartbreaking thing in the world to happen to me. I have not given up and I will never stop fighting for my rights, the rights of my son and the right of those who had been wronged. CAS thinks that I will turn around to return to the old habits and life style that I was once used to. They are so wrong! I am now stronger, in every aspect of my life than I ever have been before. I have been released on parole and in such a short period of time I have established myself with a beautiful home for both my son and I to reside in. I will continue to be an emotional support for him and I will maintain prayer that things are made right. I have secured a job that will aid me to be financially able to provide for him. Finally, I have started a college course that will help me to secure a more professional job in my area of interest, Fashion Design. I am hopeful that this will lead to opening my own business that will allow me to create my own schedule and work around my son, Adam-Orion and our future. I am asking for every ones support in this matter so that I may be the mother that God has intended me to be!
Sincerely,
Mother fighting for custody
