Motherisk : Tainted Tests & Broken Families - The Fifth Estate
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 окт 2017
- It seemed so perfect, so scientific - a hair test that could objectively determine whether parents of young children were abusing drugs or alcohol. But it turns out the 'Motherisk' hair testing was flawed, and improperly administered all across Canada over twenty years. The results were devastating. Families broken up, children seized and irrevocably adopted out. The Fifth Estate tracked down parents who share stories for the first time on Tainted Tests: Broken Families. Mark Kelley reports. A joint investigation with the Toronto Star and CBC Radio’s The Current.

As soon as it showed the hair tests were compromised and wrong results,all those kids should have been returned to their parents.
Immediately they should have been returned! That test should have stopped being used also immediately.
I totally agree
This must stop..she ahould move change name
Dye hair ..have her.chld ❤ and birth at ❤.home
"losing your children is the capital punishment of child protection law" - excellently put.
this is one of the most horrific stories I have ever heard. How screwed up is our society to do this to innocent mothers!
@Bjork bingo .
Yes, 1 horrific story.
So the law had the magic ward to rob precious kids from their parents, but doesn't has the magic wand to return the kids back? This is so evil!
Great comment , but you don’t look at the big picture do you?
A aron what is the big piture that some kids were saved from drug addict parents , thats like saying well we executed 75 % of the guilty , the other 25 % that were executed were inocent but thats ok ? Wtf dude
She won’t get them back cause that would mean that CAS would be considered liable in some way !! But at the end of the day the family is never gonna be the same and Child Protection still get to play Judge & Jury
MotherRisk was saving lots of money by not doing appropriate tests!!
The Hospital needs to be charged also! It is their job to know the credentials of people they hire!
The Doctor needs to be extradited from Israel, charged and jailed!
Why none of the Lab workers spoke up?? None charged?
I have a very close family member who gave birth in Toronto. She was clean when her baby was born but because of prior drug use, hair tests were done. My relative had a C-section and a high risk pregnancy so came back positive for morphine and Percocet which was prescribed during and after the C section. No other drugs like cocaine, methamphetamines, heroin (or its metabolites), methadone or benzodiazepines were found. Only drugs easily verified and accounted for by her doctors. If she hadn't had parents that got a her a very expensive high priced lawyer, her son would have been taken. CAS admitted they wanted to take her son and wouldn't be convinced otherwise despite doctor, psychiatrists and social worker testimonies. Finally, CAS agreed to allow my relative to keep her son but with supervision and an open file for 1 year. This has followed my relative throughout her children's (she has another child) lives and caused constant fear of losing her children for nothing. Mother Risk is awful but much worse is CAS in Toronto.
C A S , IS INVOLVED TO ALL THIS STORY WITH MOTHER RISK !!
MsOMG why do they want to do this? In US it's hard to lose your kids.
So very sorry to hear your family member is going through this. Absolutely disgusting that there is continued harassment, given the known implications of faulty testing.
Merri Cat it is not hard to lose your kids in the US
Sara T Most certainly not!!! It all begins with a phone call and ends with social services in your (and your kids and your grandkids) lives forever!
Thank God I’ve never had to deal with them and my babies are all almost adults now but I know many who have and still are. Most only get to visit their kids while lord knows what is happening to them. Sad 😢
I don’t know how he can live with himself knowing full well he destroyed these people and their children. No words.....
satanists feed on stuff like this the dr. probably satanist.
He doesn't seem to care at all about what happened. I can't believe there are places that want to pay him to speak. On the other hand I appreciate that he has made a name for himself. Therefore I'll just personally boycott any place that he is associated with. Companies hate that. Lol
No conscience
Fifth estate great work.
However, it makes me wonder if this doctor had a secret access to parents who were looking for a child to adopt and get compensation for finding the right child?
Would not shock me one iota.
This is a grotesque form of torture for these families. Child protection......oh the irony of that title. The so called Dr needs to be locked up!!!!!!!!
So is having a coke user as a mother. Her fault.
Aaron what are you talking about ? The mothers tested were not on drugs or booze in this vid , wtf dude
This is absolutely heartbreaking. The parents should be reunited with their children, it's that simple. The adoptive families should not be able to choose whether or not they want to get involved. I hope all those Children's Aid social workers who make people's lives miserable might not be so quick to remove children from their parents. Once they get involved in your lives they never leave you alone... Whether or not there was any real reason for them being involved in the first place.
Her kid would be 10 at time filming . Take him away from his now family , friends , school environment he knows would be making his bio mom whole at his expense.
@@YOYOKE64it doesn't matter. The kid will do well actually to know his biological mother and understand the injustices perpetrated against him and his true family. Keeping them apart is further injustice and worrying that the kid will have to adjust is ridiculous after already creating a primal wound. Rebonding with his mother could save him from the adult effects of that wound.
I feel ill watching this... Holy crap!!
That "doctor" Gideon should be jailed for life for ruining entire LIVES of the victimized families and children.
o0oAlisono0o blah instead he's traveling the world as an expert!
Wouldn’t it be weird if pedophile doctors were in charge of choosing his kids they got to take away?
100% there should be criminal charges. Hes treated as a trusted professional whose negligence cost families their childhood. That equates to criminal negligence in my mind
@@gretaholmes783 most likely... human trafficking. Follow the money. Many of the kids in foster care go missing ... some get abused and some get killed.
The entire Canadian Government needs to be jailed for everything they are about.... The injustice System of Canada, is right down there with the US systems of injustice. I call it " No Access Justice ". Try to get help there... Eh !
Krista's anxiety is classic PTSD.
"Bad stuff happens out there so I'm not going out".
That was my reaction too.
@Bjork she definitely was not. I know this family personally and knew them when everything was going on.
Why don't they give them back their kids now that they know the tests were wrong? They're kids where stolen from them and they can't get them back ever? That's the cruelist thing I've heard of. I thought Canada was a nice country... evidently its not.
It's because child protection agencies which if you read above are not operated by government officials. The child protection agencies are motivated by finding and if that means keeping the kids for financial gain they will continue to do so. Open your eyes people. The real problem is that child protection agencies have way too much power and they are untouchable.
flyingrabbit I meant funding .. . Not finding
If the powers-that-be don't move to correct this now, this is going to turn into the same kind of generational bleeding we now see Canadians having to pay for unresolved trespasses against Native children years ago.
These kids stolen from their parents amidst accusations of their parents being terrible people are going to grow up bearing the wounds of what happened and start asking why it was not corrected sooner.
The natural parents need to be given preferential rights over the adoptive parents in deciding whether to demand return of their children, or leave them where they are. And CAS needs to named as a defendant held legally and financially liable for all reasonable incurred losses, reparations and anguish.
And then let them go after Motherisk and Sick Kids. Get these lives back on-track, to the natural parent's satisfaction. It is not right that these families -- and Canadians for generations to come -- should have to pay for the sake of incompetent doctors and hospitals profiting. They need to be stripped of those profits to pay for damages and then assessed punitive penalties so this kind of thing doesn't happen again soon.
Where I live those agencies are ran by the gov't, I get it america has 300 + million people but one would think with that many people the gov't would have gov't child protection agencies based near every larger town's & city.
These gov't agencies can travel to smaller towns around where they are based to investigate a child in their area.
These mom’s need to sue that Dr.
I have tried. Mention cas nobody listens
Yes , you can not fight a system that insulates itself from corruption as the crown allways wins
If you want faith in the legal system, the director of this hideous business needs to be in jail for life, for fraud and illegally removing children. 💗🇦🇺💗
This is very tragic, indeed. I wish the families are eventually reunited, all of them..
Great documentary!
I call this story much bigger. Child trafficking is by childrens aid is what this also looks like at all levels of government.
Kim Cater I totally agree especially when the system give child protection agencies money for the amount of kids they take away. THE whole thing is wrong. Funding should be capped at a set amount per agency. This way child protection agencies do not exploit children and their families.
Absolutely this is their way to destroy mothers & the family values while also making millions of trafficking these kids. They should pay these families 11 million each for their lifelong destruction to their lives
Because they don't care they do it in USA also they did it to me I got 3 out of 4 of my kids back one more to go the system is a trap they just want ur kids not to help h
Who pays for the damage caused by the mindless adoption of this test, and Canada's stubborn refusal to question it even after it had been thrown out of court in the USA for nearly 20 years? Over the past 20 years, who should have checked this out, and did not?
No no no. It happens today. The initial immunoassy test is non conclusive. A confirmation test must MUST be done. Then a certification with a medical review officer. Believe me I'm in the states and as a grandmother I'm fighting them
This reminds me of the taking of the children of Native Americans as they were perceived as incapable. No faulty drug tests just discrimination and misinformation. It's quite truly sad.
Well the agenda back then was to eliminate the native from white culture , the blacks were just segregated as so many just wanted to own one
It's devastating
How is it even possible that only 6 or 8 parents have been reunited with their children? The person Mark Kelly was speaking with even said they thought they were doing a good job. Good Job - My Lord .. they didn't even seem concerned at all .. it is like they were speaking about reuniting people with inanimate objects that had been stolen. These are their children for god sake .. there should be a way to bring as many parents as possible together and hire a law firm to sue Dr. Koren who started and ran Motherisk. Also Dr. Koren said he "didn't know the results were to be used in a court room" but he himself was in the court room defending Motherisk test results on a case that was mentioned during this show. LIAR .. he should have been arrested by now. Instead he is galavanting around the world speaking on behalf of Motherisk. No episode of The Fifth Estate has dumbfounded me and upset me more than this one ever and I have been watching for over 30 years. Very upset and concerned in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
It appears that the everyone failed these families - did lawyers hire the so called experts to testify - it seems unbelievable to me that Dr Coran is living his life, being paid by organizations for “speaking” tours when he (at least he) should be in prison. The courts system took the children away from their parents - they should be working very hard to correct that error - something has to done for these parents and those kids that lost their families. I feel sick.
The Jew needs to be extradited back from Israel and prosecuted for fraud ! He has traces of fraud in ever cell of his body !!
I am Canadian living in Europe and tried to tell/explain this story and the ordeal of the Missing Women here. The more I said the more unflipping believable both these stories became. What the heck is up with Canada? Inquiries that do not go anywhere, old men saying there is not a problem? I am absolutely astounded at how these things are possible in a First World country like Canada.
konijntje I am from the US what is the missing women story.? I've never heard about this subject until watching this. It is astounding me that children were taken away because of this drug test. Must be easy to lose your kids in Canada. This would never happen in the United States. People use drugs here and don't lose their children. They can even test positive for drug use when pregnant. They try to keep the family together this subject is mind-boggling to me. I don't get what they did with the kids. I don't get why they even want to take them away.
Merri Cat
No, my friend it’s just as bad here. There are many ex CPS social workers who are coming out as whistleblowers and exposing the truth of this sick legal kidnapping nightmare happening here in the U.S. Kids are taken away by the truck loads with no basis for doing so and adopting them out with the parents not even being allowed to prove their innocence. Social workers make bonuses between $5,000 - $7,000 per child they adopt out to one who isn’t a relative. Thousands of children in the foster care system have gone missing and it’s been discovered that they have been sold into sex trafficking.
Nancy Schaefer was a Senator who spoke out against CPS and ended up losing her Senate seat because of it and then her life as she was about to release a documentary exposing CPS. She was murdered just before it was set for release and of course it never was. There are plenty of videos here on RUclips with her and also the former social workers explaining all this. Please check it out and spread the word so we can unite, take a stand and invoke change with this corrupt system who tears up good families and steals our kids for cash in their pockets. 🙏🏻♥️
Merri Cat “This would never happen in the United States”....what!? You’re kidding, right?
Beyond heartbreaking.
The is no way the lab didn't know about air spray that can interact with the test.
They would give you an interpretation chart with a warning not to use these products for 3 months prior to the test but it would only come with the results after the test.
Tammy was on to it thank goodness she fought cleverly
Omg I couldn’t imagine what those parents are going through 😢
heather mclachlan The kids...
My son came home from his dad's with bruises on his wrists and CAS investigated me, searched my house my closets and interviewed my children. The worker asked my 3 year old 'on a scale of 1 to 10 how safe do you feel with mommy' ..ya she's 3 she didnt understand that. They cleared me but didn't even bother going to my son's dad's house and inspect it like they did mine. They told me if I felt like he was unsafe at his dad's I could keep him home but then I could be charged with child neglect because I'm keeping him away from his dad. I'm always so afraid that they'll get taken away when I've done nothing wrong. I reported a suspected abuse situation and it got flipped on me. I'm so confused with how they run things and its quite sad for the children who are actually in need of help
My ex in-laws told CPS I was on drugs etc to harass me... I had to take a pee test and home visit and stuff...I can't even IMAGINE if the test was a false positive. This is devastating to watch and I'm so so angry again after a decade. These poor moms. Wtf.
I knew right at the beginning - if people where testing positive for alcohol it was probably the hair products - some hair products smell like alcohol.
Happened to me and sill don't have my son from the ministries lies. Even when the test came back the months later there was no drugs and the drinking part was inconclusive. They gave my son to his biological father who threw me out when I was pregnant after he told me to get a abortion. I carried my baby by myself. I'll never see my son because I have no money for a lawyer. I understand their pain to well. Many sleepless nights and ended up in ICU after a failed suicide attempt. I never used drugs and alcohol. It seems once they take your baby from you there's nothing you can do. It destroys your reputation and hurts me everyday. I still have my older children im my life who are grown ups now. The one they stole is turning 7 this year.
Nicolette Braun Oh my God I'm so so sorry ♥
Thank you, it's not easy but I know someday I'll have him in my life.
I'm so sorry
Nicolette Braun please go to your legal aid office and get another attorney. Get one OUT OF TOWN if you have to. I did that and he got me back my daughter after almost 2yrs. Shawn MacNamara in Lindsay Ontario. He's a bulldog! And he HATES the CAS!
Nicolette Braun I'm v sorry to hear that, as other suggested try seeking legal aid. Maybe there are still lawyers who'd help victims without financial means. I pray you'll reunite again.
It is soooo sad even if they would give these kids back the babies don't know there parents anymore and this will mess them up either way!!!
it's odd no lawyer ever challenged them for so many years
A doctor can do what he/she pleases, and if they're caught there are no repercussions.
They keep their licence to treat, and start somewhere else. smdh
Yes, kind of like Catholic priests. Found out about, then moved elsewhere to do the same.
I genuinely can not wrap my head around why these sorts of things aren't verified by a second lab to confirm positive results in cases that are so incredibly life-altering.
My seizure medication showed up as pcp in my tests when I had my third daughter. I was terrified. I had my mom look online if that medicine could test as pcp and she found it did and lucky for me the nurses found it online as well.
The Fifth Estate is a BRILLIANT journalism platform.
This particular story is spot on when it comes to lab testing.
A false positive is common in a preliminary analysis.
I've had them.
So the conclusion is this...get a test that's definitive. That simple.
Motherisk is nothing but a CASH COW.
Wow! This is so sad! How did they lose track of those adopted out kids? I don't understand why nothing major is being done. YES that doctor should be in JAIL!! The one daughter was obviously traumatized by what happened out there...making sure her door is locked? Who is paying for her life now?
Those disguises were amazing :D
why are not suing Dr. Koren? he is the master mind behind all this!!!!
the mom's part of the lawsuit which names Dr.Koren as one of the people it's aganist
the master mind of this is ( Children's Aid ) in order to be busy and to make busy the ( Courts )as well !!!!!!!!!
We need to investigate all so called Israeli "Experts". They may be foreign agents. We should stop letting them make legal determinations in our country. Take them out of regulatory positions. They are simply corrupt. Boycott Divest and Sanction.
He should be in prison for that "singing and dancing" alone! It's more likely to cause cancer than any healing!
Class Action Time
Superior Court Justice Paul Perell blocked the class-action lawsuit earlier this month. Everyone affected will now have to go it alone... if they can afford it, that is.
www.thestar.com/news/gta/2017/11/02/judge-rejects-proposed-class-action-over-motherisk-drug-testing-scandal.html
That's ridiculous
I HOPE all these children were sent home to their parent(s) after this story broke??? !
A lot of these children have been legally adopted - they will not be coming back to their biological families :(
These poor people! SHAME!!!
Thanks fifth estate, another great reminder that there is absolutely no hope left for humanity
This is insane! WTF Canada! I'm Australian and they don't do this here. This is so so wrong!
Yep we are lucky to have gov't child protection agencies like where i live its family SA they work by complaints from anyone about children at risk & after some time if things have improved at home & if possible they do try to reunite the child back with the parent/s.
@@belmum1689 I believe a pedo was working in child service in South Australia. The same crap happens here. It is vital the injustices. They do not address them.
@@diturner7247U are right a evil thing was working for families SA, but they did get him & the government did changed its name to the Department for Child Protection.
As a Canadian, I agree!!!
This is outrageous and the people more concerned with protecting the reputation of the system are disgusting.
I've been messaging you for a year. To get my story out of the illegal medical kidnapping of my daughter.
They apprehended my daughter the same day they found out she might have a malignancy. I have a story like no other.
Omgoodness...this is so very sad for these parents! Bless you fifth estate! Keep helping others always.
This is horrifying. I had no idea that this could happen on such a massive scale.. I can't believe that the adoptive family knew about the flawed test, and they decided to keep the child anyway. That is pure, selfish evil.
However, depending on how long the child has been bonding with AP....it may be even more damaging to once again upend his/her life ? It would have to be carefully assessed.
That coward doctor makes me so sick! He couldn't care less about those poor broken families. Shame on him!!!
How was this man able to just walk away!!!!
I lost my kids due to a false parenting. Capacity assessment .. For two years I have bin fighting to get my babies back home.. All their really is that family services or how I call them cps home wreckers take our children for no reason and makes us looks like we are bad people. Their is corruption in cps / family’s services.
Tara unfortunately there is an underlying reason. The child protection agencies simply want funding or money from the ministry for doing so. There are many articles out there one of them that brought many people attentions was the article "Peel CAS staff asked to keep cases open to retain funding". or blakout.ca/htm/viewthedoc.php#.Wf5fQFtSyUk .They do not care about the families or the children. They are not government agencies who are motivated by the funding formula they get from the ministry. Sad to say but child protection agencies should be deregulated and run by government organizations who would not be motivated to take away kids to retain or increase their funding. Similar to the police force although not perfect, they are checks and balancing that make sure they operate as fair and reasonable as possible.
Give the children back!
Didn't Motherisk fight Godzilla?
Seriously though; Motherisk? More like Motherless. _Amirite._
Those who knew they were speaking in lies or who were in positions that were incharge of simple lab workers should be put in prison for 1 year for each child that was taken away. However, if they work to help and succeed at putting those families back together, then let them stay out of jail, but keep the legals on record. For the doctor and the mredical expert, put them both in gen popfor the remainder of the life they have left.
Absolutely brutal!!!! Ruined families....those poor kids..... makes me so angry
This is one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen. That lab manager should be in prison for the damage his actions have caused so many familes. It’s absolutely horrible and my heart aches for the parents and their children. ❤️
Welcome to over reaching state control of our lives. We overwhelmingly reject it !
WTF kind of government gets away with this. There is no amount of money that can compensate these families for the horror of what some of them went through. The doctor should be charged with thousands of counts of fraud and abuse! He should be jailed for life and striped of everything!
How much you think this doctor gets EVERYTIME he gets a positive test.
This literally happened to me here in the US. False positive instant drug test and it has taken me two years to get my daughter back, even after it was proven to be clean.
what truly astounds me is that NO lawyers were challenging these tests for their clients in court and demanding other tests be conducted by separate labs. if it was me I would have been forcing blood urine and hair tests be done and sent to at least 2 other labs for confirmation. CAS is disgusting and should be completely overhauled but in these cases I also blame the lawyers for pretty much NOT doing their jobs for their clients to the best of their abilities. totally disgusting and then to not reunite the kids with their parents??? that is the ultimate betrayal.
I can't believe this went on!! Seems like a nightmare scenario not reality for these families!! They should pay for the damage they caused these people. The fact that this can happen is terrifying!
another name for HUMAN TRAFFICKING
How is it that an Israeli citizen is heading up a lab in Canada that has such power over Canadian families and their young children? If Dr. Koren was on the up-and-up why does he have to lie so much? He runs back to Israel when things get hot, a country that doesn't extradite criminals who have done their crimes in other countries. It makes me wonder if child traffikking wasn't an objective of the whole operation.
I wonder how much the adoptive parents paid to adopt the children and who got paid? Over how many years, 35,000 cases some with multiple children, lawyers and judges not only making decisions about taking kids away but making decisions that would make them money through the adoption services provided within the family courts. This seems like judicial kidnapping and human child trafficking.
A terrible shame what happened to these families. The children should be told that the separation from their parents was not the fault of the parents. Help for them to understand what really happened should be offered to the kids affected. Hopefully all will reunite at some point in their lives. The kids, birth parents and adoptive parents are all victims of Motherisk's mistakes.
Let’s not forget, they are more so, the victims of the CAS, who should have been doing their homework before deciding to steal these children from their parents.
CAS is afraid of making mistakes at the cost of the children. Family Court is responsible for deciding on what outcome they believe is in the best interests of the children. Caution is taken. CAS are also required to offer help if problems present itself within a family to keep them united. Mistakes made by them in the past have cost the lives of children which makes them wary when making decisions.
You are very naive Pamela, the courts make their judgements based on CAS reports. In order to believe what you do, you have either a)not been on the opposite side of the CAS, or be, b)someone who either works for or along with the CAS. They have done so much destruction to so many kids and parents, it’s horrific. I have a BA in psych, and a child and youth workers degree and I have so much empathy for these families. They have just as much, or more, power than cops. Cops can jail you, CAS can steal your family away. Just to mention a small example, not all drug users are unfit to be parents, and I am not a drug user. Not all cultures, and Canada is becoming extremely multicultural, rear children with the same ideals, punishments, and values of the white mans world. They have wayyyyyy too much power, and I have seen so many workers who are complete and utterly power trippers. I have heard way too many stories, from children taken, of the terrible lives they have endured. Failing a drug test is not a viable reason for keeping kids from their parents. Divorced partners, with revenge motives, are enough to get your child taken. The CAS are heartless and despicable. Why do you think this was able to happen, just another flaw in their system. But oh well, no big deal, right?
Can you just imagine if you planted the CAS agency in Africa, or say, China. You would have a population of stolen children. Peopl3 need to wake up.
This story broke my heart.💔
ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY - MONEY - MONEY - MONEY AND WHO GETS WHAT - CORRUPT GOVERNMENT
14 years later and we are still dealing with this ......the pain my family and kids had gone through will never heal ...
I read a study online that said a baby is 6 times more likely to die in foster care than with their mother who is in drug recovery. Motherisk...what a good name for their racket.
All those millions the doctor made should be distributed to all those family's
The adopted parents don't want to get involve?? They shouldn't have a choice. Her children were removed under a fraudulent circumstances. The test was wrong, give them their children back to all those parents where the test was use. This is why the system gets me mad. Is all about the money. Lots of people are involved on this terrible thing. So sad, I feel pain in my heart for all the kids and parents.
The Fifth Estate is one of the few programs that really goes deep into social problems. I am happy that there are such programs. This program is a power in the society and it fights other powers in the society!
So sad, can't imagine having my kids taken from me.
The so called doctor who now lives in Isreal, should live in prison period. These were crimes against humanity as far as I am concerned. If the labels said it was not definitive and more testing was needed. A bunch of people should go to prison.
Absolutely. Very flimsy work. They should be held to their word. So when they found out these tests where botched, it's time to get off your high horse and apologize, and compensate. Accountability is VITAL to making the system work appropriately. They take kids away and the kids never hear from the workers that took them away. Your passed around like a hot potato.. Disgusting
CAS please own up to your mistakes and dont shift blame. consequences needed to be made,all the neglectful workers!!!!
That is against the children’s human right for the adoptive parents to deny them their own Mama! Makes me so angry as an adoptee that people feel so entitle to keep children separated from home. 😩🤬
follow the money amount they get per child look into that somebody
The Fifth Estate has been my go-to in 2021. Thank you for the superior uploads. Great quality and content.
Awesome job, Mark Kelley
This is the craziest thing I've ever seen!!
At least it only took 22 years to figure this out...
Sad Story. Has there been any outcome to the lawsuits? This story should be aired again to bring attention to these kinds of issues in our communities
Why did this family have to go through this alcohol is not illegal???
This is a travesty!! I hope that bstrd rots.
During our adoption process CAS could not find anything 'bad' so they nitpicked over very minor things ... they went as far as claimed I was dying of cancer !! At the time my cancer was 15 yrs ago with no reoccurrence and I was in good health .... it took a male CAS worker (soon to retire) to tell them to lay off ... a week later we got a letter from CAS telling us they closed our case
"moved back home to Israel"....so, he wasn't a Canadian doctor after all, makes sense.
The CAS in ontario has wayyyyyyyy too much power. They have done so much destruction to so many, and carry on like they are the ultimate gods. Something must be done about them.
Dee-dee I couldn't agree with you more!!! They stole both my babies after birth just because vindictive people phoned them and lied because they were jealous, and because I take medication and my husband does👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎boooooooo!!! to children's aid!!!👎👎👎👎👎👎👎(now known as family conexions )😈😈😈
So in Canada, you could have lost your kids for something as ridiculous as,, using hair spray.. Meanwhile kids that need the help, don't get what they need.. If that doesn't strike a cord with you, I don't know what to say!!
Corin is evil, he along with others involved should be imprisoned for life. Corin took no responsibility for his actions, like so many of his kind money is his raison d'être.despicable excuse for a human being.
Surely blood and urine tests are more reliable than a hair test, which I've never heard of in relation to drugs - only when testing for arsenic in a dead or very ill person who is suspected of being poisoned.
Who do these Children go after to legal lawsuit for their future financial needs for therapy ???
FROM WIKIPEDIA>>> Early life and academic background
Born in 1947 in Tel Aviv in the British Mandate of Palestine, prior to the establishment of the State of Israel, Koren was raised in the neighbouring town of Kiryat Ono. His father was the chief engineer of Reading Power Station of the Israel Electric Corporation.
Koren received his Doctor of Medicine from the Sackler School of Medicine at Tel Aviv University in 1973. After a period of military service, he pursued postgraduate clinical studies in pediatrics and pediatric nephrology, and research training in pediatric toxicology and pharmacology and membrane biology at the Hospital for Sick Children and the University of Toronto. He joined the staff of the university and hospital, ultimately attaining the rank of professor. He later received the endowed Ivey Chair in Molecular Toxicology at the Schulich School of Medicine at The University of Western Ontario. At UWO, he participated in the establishment of a national program in human toxicology, in parallel with his continuing work at the University of Toronto and the Hospital for Sick Children.

In parallel to his academic career, Koren is an established composer and author. In 1971, while studying medicine at TAU, Gideon "Gidi" Koren founded the Israeli musical group, The Brothers & the Sisters (ha'achim veha'achayot), which features an Israeli folk/country style. The band performed many of Koren's songs and musical plays for children.[9][10][11]
In 1974, in collaboration with Israeli performer Shlomo Artzi, Koren composed a record album based on his grandmother Keri's story, A Journey to Noteland. A musical based on the book and CD of A Journey to Noteland had its stage debut in Israel in 2008 and continues to be performed.[12]
In 1992 Koren founded the Bear Theatre at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. In July 2007 the theatre celebrated 15 years and 750 shows.[13][14][15]
In 2005, The Brothers & The Sisters toured North America following the publication of a commemorative Hebrew-English book of the Israeli poet Natan Yonatan’s poetry, accompanied by a CD of his songs, set to music by Koren and performed by the band.[16][17] The Brothers and the Sisters continue to perform throughout Israel in programs featuring Koren's songs, many of which were written to the words of Israeli poets, including Yehudah Amichai, Leah Goldberg, Rachel, Amir Gilboa, and Ze’ev Jabotinsky.
Wouldnt have happened in Israel
Only common christians
LOCK HIM UP
I got a false positive a few times, and would demand a lab test since the failed ones were all 'quick cup' tests. I failed for pcp once, lol, I have never not once ingested pcp. Another time it was Fetynal, and nope did not do any of that either.
These tests can be faulty, and much more often than they should be. These tests can ruin people's lives if faulty. This is serious.
Mahatma Kane Jeeves I failed and made the doctor double check. I have a pain management doc and he came in and had a lawyer and wanted to know why I was on OxyContin. I have NEVER taken it. I was freaking out and called my best friend-thank God a world class lawyer, she showed up in 30 mins had them recheck and it was someone else’s. It was mislabeled. Always check! Thank god I had connections. Those poor hopeless people who don’t!
it happens all the time. a minor crime a short period of probation pee test as a condition and wow suddenly there are results for methadone another for heroin . This happened to my son he freaked out they were going to put him in jail, he fought back had his own test done he left probation called a reputable lab and had his own done that same day , he was completely clean. It happens A LOT and if it can happen to people then these tests should never be admissible in court you shouldn't loose a job, an opportunity for a job ,your freedom as a consequence of violating adult probation, or loose custody of your children! All these labs know there is room for error but they insist that these tests are good enough to use against a person .
Over the counter Cough medicine can give a false positive for PCP
Yes12345 grove. And if everybody watched the video. Parents were giving clean blood tests free of substance abuse. Yet cas ignored this because money is involved when they take the kids away. It's a cas problem folks. Read between the lines. No agency should be given money to take kids away. This is why child protection agencies should be strictly government run not run by private agencies which is the current system.
Who got the clean hair i wonder??
I went through a similar situation. I was part of these families from that era. I'm glad there will finally be some accountability .
I lost 4 children and 3 more and faught 17 yrs over this. I finally have my family back. But we lost one child to death. It's inhumaine what these agencies are doing.
Toronto sick kids hospital is responsible ( motherisk laboratory) and the Children's Aid societies of Ontario. I beleive both these agencies.. are responsible. Some agencies don't help families like they're suppose to.
yeah, I was taken from my parents and it really made me who i'm today, they say i'm cold heart it. yes its hard for me to cry but I shed those tears long ago. children's aid is evil, they do a lot good but the stability they give is hurtful and damages so many, I didn't get to see my mom till I was 18 and that was because I bag them to let me go.
ALEX AKA I'm sorry this happened to you. I wish i could help but I hope you know it's not your fault. Positive vibes.
Sorry to hear that Alex, unfortunately the private child protection agencies rely on funding to keep their jobs which is why many children are taken away from their loving parents unfortunately. As I said before, these agencies need to be changed to government only or put a cap on each child protection agency business. This way every CPS gets exactly the same amount of funding which would stop the corruption going on of the need to take away kids for more funding.
How did the Canadian family court system come to rely on Motherisk tests? Who certified the validity of these tests for use in court? Is the court system partially culpable for their role in relying on unreliable tests?
This was a heartbreaking story. Shameful and tragic.
