False Accusations & Move-Away to Winnipeg from Montreal


Currently, domestic violence service providers in Manitoba assist women who claim to be abused. Let’s say Bob and Jane are married and have two kids. If Bob abuses Jane, Jane can go to a local shelter and receive legal assistance in obtaining a personal protection order (aka restraining order) against Bob. Bob is forced to vacate his house immediately. A couple weeks later there is a hearing to determine if the protection order will be made permanent, and the domestic violence service provider again furnishes assistance for this hearing. At these hearings, the protection orders are usually extended.

All this is as it should be—provided Bob is guilty. The problem is that the same process and laws which protect a battered Jane from an abusive Bob also allow an unhappy but not abused Jane to boot an innocent Bob out of their home and set a child custody precedent with herself as sole caregiver. This aids Jane greatly during the divorce process.

Many prominent family law professionals are cautioning that this system is being widely misused in Canada, and that there are scant protections for the falsely accused.

"Protective orders are increasingly being used in family law cases to help one side jockey for an advantage in child custody…[the orders are] almost routinely issued by the court in family law proceedings even when there is relatively meager evidence and usually without notice to the restrained person.”In my case a judge presumed me guilty of criminal charges without being present or being represented by a legal defense

If a parent is willing to abuse the system, it is unlikely the trial court could discover (his or her) improper motives in an Order of Protection hearing.
The hearings to make the protection orders effective are often just a formality for which no more than 15 minutes are generally allotted. In fact, the province of Manitoba is becoming a happy paradise for people to claim they were abused by their partner therefore and a protection order will be given to them
“Practice saying why you disagree with the charges. Do not take more than three minutes to say what you disagree with. You can bring witnesses or documents that support your case, but the judge may not have enough time to talk to the witnesses, nor will consider your appeal valid since from the moment a protection order is given nobody can have access to the whereabouts of the parent who is protected under this law.”

This process is already damaging and unfair to fathers, but this provincial protection order plus related criminal consequences will make it far worse. Once the issues of the domestic violence is in place, false accusers who have obtained initial assistance through domestic violence service providers will be provided free attorneys to litigate their divorcés, but time they are not dealing with a father rather with a terrorist/criminal who's forced to compensate for the presumed damages caused on the accuser. This legal assistance will give the mothers a huge advantage over low-income fathers, one which will cause many innocent dads to loose custody and even access to their kids for life.This is the demoralizing reality of today's father trying on the one hand to gain the love of their children and on the other other hand, the malicious persecution trying to get him sentenced as a criminal and take all his rights as father and as free citizen of a democratic society. These provincial protection orders contradict the charters of human rights and are turning a great numbers of fathers as "hostages" of the illegal machinery created by biased and unconcerned social evil. Only sociopaths can cause so much human sufferings in a given society against parents and families. I have personally experienced the inhumanity of the system as I was abruptly shut by police ,social workers and shelters counselors (Montréal, Quebec).Even though I was innocent for charges laid on me,as later they were proved "false"....they kept treating me like a third class citizen. And my children were removed from home by social workers, by police and by shelters workers, and nobody cared a bit if my children needed to be with the me. They could not careless!!. my children were treated as being part of a Nazi concentration camp. They were told ,and I was told the same "not to speak to them or I will be arrested"

Even when the malicious persecution came to an end for a while,these state bureaucrats were not concerned at all about my children's safety and love-- whom they meant to help from a presumed abusive father.Their whole approach was inhuman and intolerant...Most of these bureaucrats have more authority than our politicians and judges and act freely like the ex-KGB agents under Stalin regime.They messed in my family affairs and they attempted to suppress and repress all my rights,including the right to move and the right to speech.

What’s needed instead is an overhaul of the domestic violence system to emphasize serving and protecting only those who are legitimately abused , not to discriminate based on sex;equal rights mandatory for both parents, eliminates the protection order when there's divorce process; ensure a defense and legal representation of a father being accused outside of his province, limit the rights of these bunch of bureaucrats that feel that they can do whatever they want with the family.In my case my family was destroyed, my children kidnapped by the my wife and by the legal system...and now I am facing some criminal charges from these false accusations in Manitoba and the total removal of my children since these undemocratic and repressive protection orders prohibits me from seeing my children for several years...and I still do not get the right to an appeal and a decent defense. According to this authoritarian and unfair domestic violence and protection order law. I am loosing my children for life for offenses already proved false in Quebec. and presumed guilty in Manitoba without a notice and a fair trial.

Posted Jul 19, 2008 5:37 PM

State parasites brainwashed my family with hatred and malicious propaganda  I have a chilling, previously private story now public to share.

On may 17,2008  my two children were abducted both protection services Agency and by the police department over its once "secret" decision to expel daddy away from the family, and on may 18 the police decided to list my name on a national law enforcement database of suspected child and sexual abusers

I am telling this story in hopes that it will help fix a government child protective system that I believe was poorly designed and has long been dysfunctional, because its investigators have been given powers usually granted only to judges and also because some of these worker are sometimes motivated by "resentments and hatred"" against the fathers..

Most men, when falsely accused of child abuse .sexual offenses,and investigated by the Department of Social Services - Children Services, and the police ,have suffered in silence. Even after clearing their names, as I did oncebut now I am on the list on Manitoba. That's because the mere accusation of such a crime can severely damage a person's reputation. But I believe that keeping silent won't solve anything for others. By sharing my story publicly, I hope to help force changes to this secretive, intimidating and - I believe - institutionally biased system to stop it from abusing the reputations, families and bank accounts of other innocent parents. I also want to stress that I am speaking as a private citizen, not as a representative of any organization.

I was falsely accused by a malicious intention from my ex-wife of the heinous crime of child abuse in may 12,2008, , at the height of a bitter
custody battle over my two young boys. When I was told of the accusation, I promptly submitted to an investigation by a protective service worker . I Insisted from the beginning that I was innocent and that I was not capable of committing such a crime against my own children. But, it took me roughly several days , an assessment and hundreds of hours of effort to disprove my ex-wife false accusations.the youth protection service worker came to a secret conclusion that my case should not require further investigation for the simple reason that the accusations are "unsubstantiated,

Only by disproving in front of the social worker was I able to and asked for an independent investigation done on my children on one to one basis without the presence and the influence of the mother who was indoctrinating and brainwashing my children with malicious propaganda along with some social workers and counselors who were advising and driven my wife to places where she could file charges against me (even if were false) and offering my family protection shelters so they could be saved from this newly created "bad dad" image....who might come close anytime to kill the whole family. 

So now, since daddy is so dangerous and willing to do anything to kill his own children...we need to keep him further away;  So we will advise nice mommy to place more charges against daddy, but this time; criminal charges...let's make sure he gets some time in jail for sexually abusing his family, so let's hope that police keeps him far away from us. because you have to get used to live without daddy because he never loved you.. he hit you, he sexually abused you.

Well even if it sounds sarcastic to some of you,  but that is the way the way the legal system works and the state parasites perform.  They will act as sociopaths ,they will do anything to make sure that families do get destroyed completely and the "thinker"  father gets completely removed and far away from his children as the well disciplined and adorable lady gets custody of the children

My nightmare is one that has been shared by thousands of divorced dads and some divorced moms. Canada laws maker do not track child abuse suspects by gender, but national child abuse stats shows that males have historically been deemed responsible for
nearly 90 percent of all child and spouse sexual abuse.

Another previously private fact is service worker staff is overwhelmingly composed of some bizarre group of people , who apparently investigate mostly men.

Some of these people really act like a sect group.  ON an email my ex sent to my oldest son who lives overseas, she refers to these people as "very nice" and promised her to do everything to see her in "paradise" away from evil doer Daddy (as she takes total control over the custody of the children) and also promise her a great deal of benefits if she could follow their cause..which of course meant to destroy her family and her husband.

Posted Jun 25, 2008 1:04 PM

Recently I discovered that my wife was unloyal and dishonest with me after being married for twenty four years years and being parents of five children.  When I confronted her with the visible proof about this painful deception and directly asked her for explanations about this matter, she kept yelling at me and her clever and appropriate answer was "I do what I want with my body and my life".  Since that day my life turned into a mortal combat fight.  She kept manipulating and indoctrinating my children with hatred and malicious propaganda against me. My children became my enemies and my wife became their hero and their omnipresent advisor and overprotected solo tango dancer.

During those confrontational episodes my wife fully exposed my children ages 10 and 11 years old to a systematic alienation and hateful bitter and cruel) behavior against me.

She called the police on me and accused me of child abuse and also stated that "my children were traumatized with my presence", and that "they were scared of being alone with me". As a result of these allegations my children were taken to the batshaw youth and family centre in Montreal (English speaking youth protection center), and since that day I have not seen them or heard from them (except from a third party).

A few days latter, the police came to my place to inform me that I should not try to approach my family for I will be immediately arrested and charged.  They(police) reported to me that "there are serious criminal accusations against me stemming from my wife for sexual aggressions" ,and that" my family is being protected from me at an unknown shelter somewhere in Montreal".

The same day,  I learned that my wife has taken all my money from the bank (money that was not hers) 

I requested several times from the Batshaw youth and family centre a supervised visit to see my children.  Those requests were declined from my wife with the pretext that that "my children did not want to see me anymore".  I tried several times to write messages to my children on their messengers msn hotmail to be in touch with them, but I received mainly cruel rejections and hateful resentments.  I also noticed that most of the writings were done by someone else and the nature and content of their messages were not truly theirs,but someone older who meant mainly hatred and death to one's fellow man.

I recently received a letter from the youth and prevention centre indicating that my case was closed due to the fact that there are no motives for the children to be at risk with their father.That is to say That "I am not an abusive father" as my wife declared to the police.

The following day a police detective called me to say that "my wife dropped the criminal charges and the case is closed due to no evidences pertaining to the accusations presented by my adorable and caring wife .
The legal system has taken all my rights away as a father.  I do not know what is going on with my family.  I feel humiliated and a hostage of my wife's manipulations and her obsessive desire to see me in jail and destroyed at all cost.

On June 16,at 2 a.m.  police officers knocked my door and asked me to sign a Protection Order sent to me by Provincial Court of Manitoba.  The document literally indicated that my lovely wife was on holiday somewhere far away with my children without my consent or a court order of custody and that new accusations of the same nature were presented this time in Winnipeg against me, and that the protection order strictly prohibits me from seeing my children for three years or face severe consequences (all in the name of keeping the father away from loving and seeing his children). 

Did she have to go all the way to Manitoba to get her credibility back?.  Would it not be better if she could have stayed and has a shared custody of the children instead of running away from a Montreal judge who might not believe her victim's story tale anymore?  This is equivalent to a surprise knock out punch but with a low blow effect.  The more my wife gets free rides in the legal system and attention for her compassionate and suffering life the poorer and disqualified I get for life sentencing .The more obsessive and compulsive my wife gets to see me humiliated and punished the less credibility se gets from people who truly try to help women who need help..but most of the time do not come forward because of the Stockholm syndrome vicious cycle.  As the stone age saying goes: "Your happiness is my disgrace...and my disgrace is your happiness".

Since my wife is now playing "crying wolf" in Manitoba;  for in Montreal the same accusations were proven to be false or fabricated.  New Manitoba tax payers money will be used for dealing with someone who is morally and spiritually wrong and who is using these "scapegoats" to run away from her own shadow based on guilt and shame and who is trying to blame someone for her own mistakes that she has not dealt with...but as in the psyche of a pathological sinner the following internal dialogue can be heard many times as an echo "Love yourself as you hate your fellow man"!.

Please, I need urgently support and awareness on my case. I need to appeal a decision taken from a judge in Winnipeg Manitoba wherein he is again taken my rights as a father (as was done in Montreal but later found false accusations) and is preventing me from seeing my children for three years without the right to defend myself or be represented when new criminal accusations this time from Manitoba, has been pressed against me by my wife.I have 15 days left to appeal this decision.

This means that I would need a lawyer from Manitoba, I will have to travel to Manitoba...and I am truly broke ,unemployed,and destroyed (criminal accusations had a big impact on all aspect of my life <lost his job> .)

However, I do want justice and fairness...therefore, I will continue to fight for the truth on this matter. Sooner or later truth will prevail. My main concerns are my innocents children that are affected with problems and conflicts that were never meant to be part of their precious and innocent life.

Please I need support and awareness on my situation by sending e-mail to local newspapers (Tv), politicians, social and community groups.

I am willing to go publicly on this issues for I strongly believe that alienating (manipulating), brainwashing and corrupting your children against a parent (mother or father) is a form of a child abuse and constitutes and offence I would like the opportunity to challenge the Manitoba protection order and domestic violence as it is an open invitation to abduct children illegally within Canada from the other parent, and promotes the violation of the other parent rights for children custody. It does not offer a defense nor a representation as when a decision is taken without the presence of the accused. Totally injust and unfair, and it is used for people to abuse the system, get immediate custody of the children for three years under provincial protection order ,and leaves the other parent without rights and sentenced to stay away from the children for three years. My wife gets away with abduction and permanent custody of my children. And I end up with the debts, false accusations, criminal records....and very destroyed.

My name is Franklin Andrade

Franklin Andrade is notified in Montreal by police officers about the protection order from Manitoba, 2008-07-17

Posted Jul 20, 2008 2:31 PM

On July 17,2008 Mr. Franklin Andrade was abruptly notified at 1 a.m. by police officers from Montreal about a protection order and criminal charges placed against him by his wife and children from Winnipeg Manitoba. This protection order clearly indicated that Mr. Andrade has already being presumed guilty of those allegations and is forbidden by legal and criminal measures from Manitoba to approach or contact his wife and children.

Mr. Andrade was advised to find a lawyer in Manitoba to represent him during the hearings and procedures in the court. Unfortunately such a request was impossible to obtain due to the fact that Mr.Franklin Andrade is not a resident of Manitoba and this is a requisite to be admitted in legal aid terms and conditions.
Mr.andrade was accused in Montreal by his wife of the same allegations.However,those accusations and some other of criminal nature were either proven false, or his wife was forced to drop charges because there were no evidences to substantiate those accusations .Right after Mr. Andrade's">Andrade's wife learned that her credibility was quite low and could loose the custody of the children in Montreal for not telling the truth concerning and for fabricating false accusations ,she illegally decided to flee with the children, without legal or parental custody to Manitoba.

Mr.Andrade has made all efforts to contact the police, lawyers and the court in Quebec and Manitoba, but unfortunately he has not found cooperation nor legal actions to intervene in this matter where the children are seriously affected by being used ,indoctrinated, brainwashed, and manipulated by the mother ,and forcefully removed by incompetent people who have no considerations for truth, humanity, family, feelings and for justice.  While Mr. Andrade is trying to enforce his legal rights as a father ,Madam is preventing him to do so by making several false accusations to find grounds for getting away with the law and for keeping the custody of the children regardless of the legal consequences ,and at the expense of Mr. Franklin Andrade's">'s mental and physical health who is deteriorating rapidly.

While, Mr. Andrade does not know the whereabouts of his children since two month ago,his lawyer and the police are saying that this is not a matter competent to their jurisdiction. While Madam finds every support and sympathy in the legal system for her persistent and obsessive efforts to keep making more and more false accusations, Mr. Franklin Andrade finds himself in a situation where he could not do anything legal because according to the advises he is receiving in Montreal ;there are not means to take legal actions against Madam's persistence and stubbornness of breaking the law,the safety of the children, and the destruction of the children's bond with the father.

The same accusations existing now in Manitoba where used by Mr. Andrade's">Andrade's wife in Montréal. The youth health protection In Montreal made a full assessment of the children and found no reason or evidence for child abuse and; both parents were told by the children aid society workers to get legal advises to deal with the custody of the children as they realized that the children were not at risk as the mother has claimed .Therefore this case was closed for no evidences or risk against the children.

Mr. Andrade appealed the probation order in Manitoba. However he was informed by a staff worker at the court in Manitoba that "the application to set aside this order was refused because there are no address to contact the mother.

Mr. Andrade feels that his rights have highly been violated by the same laws that are supposed to protect people from wrongdoings and offenses. He also feels that all his rights have been removed from him as he has no saying or knowledge concerning his family. His children were abruptly and illegally removed from his house and from his life by police officers, social workers, shelter counselors and now by judges in Manitoba. And even though everyone knows in Quebec that his wife has no credibility for accusations she has made in previous months as were proved to be false ,they now keep on taking her allegations in Manitoba and to further preventing the closeness and the contact of the father with his children.

Mr.Franklin Andrade has decided to come forward publicly for he feels injustice and incompetence are the result of a bad practice and bad application of the Canadian laws; as he does not see fairness and humanity for what he and his children have to go through as Madam is willing and capable to do anything to see her objectives accomplished, even if malicious methods are used to prosecute Mr. Franklin Andrade.

My wife's adultery destroyed our marriage, my children's life and our love,  Franklin Andrade, 2008-07-20

Posted Jul 20, 2008 3:22 AM

My wife's adultery destroyed our marriage, my children's life and our love.

For twenty-four years as a husband, I hardly understood the verses that condemned adultery and explained its consequences. I faithfully honored my marriage vows . However, I never really understood the ravaging and devastating effects of adultery on someone's life until it happened to me! The betrayal of one's partner in a marriage is probably the most shocking and traumatic event that can occur in a person's life. Not any other forms of treachery touched me as deeply as my wife infidelity. Our ;love was shattered, our trust was destroyed, our family was torn destroyed, and our children bear the pain and the suffering for something they did not fully comprehend. The most difficult decision I ever made was confronting and facing my wife for her her adultery affair .

One late night ,I noticed that her email messenger was left open.I just could not believe what I was reading,my own wife,the same person who everyday encouraged me to full commitments and values of marriages was cheating on me.The same person who reminded me everyday that happy and united marriage is the solution for smart and happy children.
I still remember that when I asked her to explain to me her love confession and affair with another man her unpredictable and irrational answer was:"I do whatever I want with my body and my life.I just could not believe what I was experience;my lovely and caring wife was coldly and indifferently was recognizing this affair without any form of guilt and shame and in front of my children.I looked at my children and they all knew about it...they just were brainwashed to think that what mom was doing was okay as long as she did it because Daddy did not love her nor the children
.
The initial shock was unavoidable when I learned of this affair adultery,I said to myself : "this can't be real." It is like having a horrible nightmare from which you cannot escape. The thought "this can't be happening to me" replays itself over-and-over again in your mind. The only interruption is the anger and hatred that must be battled to maintain one's sanity. Adultery leaves the innocent spouse with feelings of depression, guilt and humiliation. Self-esteem reaches an all-time low, whereas, self-pity reaches an all-time high.

I hardly got any sleep during the first few months after the adultery. When you do sleep, the dreams are so troubling that you begin to abhor the thought of sleeping. Eating became a nauseating necessity. Crying was about the only I felt like doing and doing often. My broken-spirited heart will cry in the morning, throughout the day and at night; will cry alone, without children and with my friends. Only God knows many of the tears I shed, especially those shed by my innocent children of our broken home. We must never get the impression that grieving over death and adultery are the same. I would much rather grieve over a marriage partner who died naturally and accidentally than to grieve over a marriage that died in adultery!

It is incredible how lonely and empty I felt. You feel as if there is no life left in you. Your heart is broken. Your dreams are shattered, and you don't want to go through another day. Adultery, the ultimate act of betrayal, blinds one to everything that is good. If suicide were a scriptural option, it would be considered as an alternative over living and facing the unknown future. Marital infidelity has the devastating power to crush one's hopes for the future. You repeatedly ask yourself: How could this person I loved with all my heart destroy OUR future plans? Together we planned to play with our grandchildren, to enjoy life to its fullest and to rest in peace beside each other -- plans and dreams that will never be fulfilled.

After all the accusations made by my wife against me were proved to be false in Montreal,she decided to flee to winnipeg from montreal but this time and all the other times trying to escape from her own malicious and dark shadow based on guilt and shame .

From Manitoba now she is accusing me of the same criminal offences than in montreal while she keeps indoctrinating and brainwashing my children with distorted and manufactured lies with the simple reason to find a pretext to blame others for her own mistakes on bad moral and ethical example for our children who are alieanated and hateful againts the father because they are indoctrinated like members of a sect by her dear and lovely guru mother.


I still believe in the sanctity and beauty of marriage and look forward to being married again, but I abhor adultery with a greater passion than ever imagined.

Comment survivre à un imbroglio juridique au Canada? Montréal le 8 juillet 2008

Press release in Montreal,Quebec concerning the presumed guilty of false accusations in Manitoba

17 juin 2008, 1h00 du matin. Monsieur Franklin Andrade, canadien , reçoit la visite des forces policières à son domicile de Montréal. De façon cavalière, on l'informe qu'une plainte d'agression sexuelle sur sa femme et ses enfants a été portée contre lui devant la Cour provinciale du Manitoba. Une ordonnance de cette même cour lui interdit d'approcher sa famille pour une période de 3 ans. Il a 20 jours pour contester.

À ce moment-ci, à moins que quelqu'un ne se décide à défendre les droits de monsieur Andrade, la police peut débarquer chez lui d'un moment à l'autre et on l'ammèra derrière les barrreaux. Un juge de la Cour du Manitoba lui a tout simplement refusé la contestation. Pas d'enquête! Pas de procès! Ni même une audience! Il semblerait qu'ici au Canada, dans certains cas, on soit présumé coupable. Du moins c'est ce qui nous semble à ce stade de l'histoire.

Les faits

Ce qu'il faut savoir, c'est qu'après une première tentative infructueuse pour faire inculper monsieur Andrade d'un crime semblabe ici au Québec, madame a abandonné la poursuite. Après quoi, elle a pris la poudre d'escampette direction Winnipeg, en compagnie des deux enfants du couple. Il s'agit pourtant d'un geste illégal, pense monsieur, puisque des procédures étaient en cours visant à établir les droits de garde des enfants. Effectivement! Des procédures doivent être prises d'urgence afin de saisir les tribunaux. Lui confirme-t-on.

Préjugé défavorable

Ici, monsieur Andrade, toujours confiant en notre système judiciaire, a tout de même une lueur d'espoir. Mais cette lueur vacille devant l'obstination de la juge de la Cour provinciale du Manitoba qui a émis l'ordonnance. Celle-ci a tout simplement pris la dame sous son aile.

En état de choc, l'homme appelle à la Cour du Manitoba et explique. Au premier abord, on l'accueille plutôt froidement. (N'est-il pas un violeur d'enfants?). Monsieur s'active donc afin de rétablir les faits. Il multiplie les interventions auprès des instances juridiques des deux provinces. Finalement, on lui tend une oreille attentive et on comprend toute l'histoire.

Vide juridique et imbroglio

Partout, on reconnaît l'irrégularité de la situation, mais plutôt que de se parler, les instances des deux provinces se renvoient la balle continuellement. C'est donc à Monsieur Andrade qu'il revient de composer avec une situation qui semble échapper à la compétence des représentants de la justice.Difficile de s'y retrouver dans cette masse d'informations contradictoires.

L'équation est pourtant simple: pendant que monsieur tente de faire respecter ses droits parentaux et ceux de ses enfants, madame entrave le processus normal en portant des accusations graves au criminel, (à deux reprises) se prévalant ainsi de la protection des tribunaux.

Là où ça se complique, c'est qu'il est impossible d'assigner madame à comparaître car le tribunal (par le biais de madame la Juge) assure sa protection! Pas d'adresse, pas d'assignation!

Pendant que l'avocat de l'Aide juridique mandaté au civil attend les bras croisés que l'adresse de madame lui arrive sur un plateau d'argent, monsieur tente d'assurer sa défense au criminel. De ce côté, on prétend qu'aucune démarche ne peut être entreprise avant que les procédures civiles soient engagées. Retour à la case départ.

De son côté, la police manitobaine attend des nouvelles de ses collègues québécois. La police québécoise reste passive, se contentant de dire qu'elle appuiera monsieur, si (et seulment si) le camp manitobain prend contact avec elle pour connaître les conclusions de l'enquête. Idem pour la DPJ du Québec qui a fermé le dossier. Bref...Question "communication", on repassera!

Pendant ce temps, Monsieur fait la navette entre le bureau de l'Aide juridique, le poste de police et son téléphone qui ne dérougit pas. On l'informe qu' il ne peut se faire représenter à Winnipeg, car n'étant pas résident du Manitoba, l'aide juridique ne peut lui être accordée. Il doit donc assurer seul sa défense! Le temps file... Le délai de 20 jours fond comme neige au soleil.

Présumé coupable

Devant tout ce qui a les apparences d'un vide juridique, Monsieur Andrade est tenace! De fil en aiguille, il a quand même réussi à se faire des alliés à la Cour du Manitoba. C'est ici que, dans une tentative ultime de faire avancer les choses, on lui fait parvenir ce fameux formulaire de contestation via internet. "Mesure d'exception" lui a-t-on dit! Son avocat se déciide enfin à lui donner un coup de main, remplit l'affidavit et le tout est expédié par poste prioritaire, à quelques jours de l'expiration du délai.

Mais à Winnipeg, aucun argument ne peut convaincre madame la Juge de l'innoncence de monsieur: ni le témoignage de son fils de 18 ans demeuré au Chili qui fait état de l'instabilité émotionnelle de sa mère, ni le rapport de la DPJ du Québec qui démontre clairement que monsieur n'a rien d'un violeur d'enfants mais qui, par ailleurs, questionne le côté manipulateur de la dame envers les enfants, ni le fait que l'enquête policière du Québec n'ait mené à rien d'incriminant. Aux yeux de la juge, tout ce qui s'est passé au Québec n'a aucune importance. Madame a pris la fuite pour se protéger, elle et ses enfants . Un point c'est tout! La contestation lui est donc refusée.

Legal system in Canada needs to be reformed

Posted Jul 20, 2008 4:00 PM

What happened to my family is unforgivable. And that it was all sanctioned - ordered - by a system that is supposed to help families.. is outrageous.'

The controversial family court system has much to answer for in this case and many others I am not the only and the first father who has questioned how it operates. Family court proceedings are notoriously secretive, and public opinions have long appealed for the proceedings to be more open and judges more accountable.

If it doesn't change, the family courts are open to abuse by unaccountable judges and social workers with their own agendas, whose word is taken as law and who almost invariably favor the mother or the real abusers of the legal system.

It's a scandal which has left hundreds of fathers like me in desperation. The only solution is to have a court system that's transparent. Otherwise it is simply not fair to fathers or, more importantly, to the children it is supposed to protect.'

There is no morality values involved in the approach that many of these workers favor. In most cases these social service workers are insensitive and unconcerned about the well being of the children and the fathers. In many occasion I was exposed to this kind of coldness and indifferent responses from some of these workers.

One day, I received a phone call from my son who was placed against my will and for no reason at all in a shelter. My son was crying , and he needed to be with daddy. Even though my son was not allowed to make home calls for I was being investigated by youth protection worker as a potential candidate for child abuse, he still managed to communicate with me to express his anger and frustration at the way he was living an unstable life without his daddy.

If I had the right word to describe why my children ended up in a foster home, I will have to say that my children were kidnapped from my home and taken away from by the malicious request of my wife that accused me of abusing and traumatizing my children my children and by unconsidered social worker who knew from the starting point that there was no risk for the children at home.

Once your children are taken to a foster home or a to shelter you do not hear a word from nobody about their well being and safety. These worker do not care about the anguish and worries ,you as a father goes through. they are not there to show concerns or inform you about your children. And if you ever try to contact them they hardly ever respond you right away. And if you do inquire about your children ,they seem to get annoyed at you. In other words some of these worker treat you with no respect and dignity. your children are part of their work routine, just a another number of the cruel legal system.

The whole event was outrageous. every time my wife needed some clothes or personal objects from home, police came to my place. It seemed as if they were dealing with the worst criminal in town. I did never saw less than five police officers at my place. They told me to stay away in a separate room, far away from the poor victim who was accusing me of children's abuses and sexual offenses.

Honestly, I have never seen so many police officers in someone's place before and I have never experienced so many police officer interfering in my private life by telling me where to remain, not to move and to remain silent. I hardly never being regarded in such a suspicious way.I learned that police officers are there to protect order and citizens. but in my case, I could not quite understand why in the world I was so many times visited by unexpected police officers that arrived in my place at anytime they pleased.

The day that my children were taken away from my home, there were more than ten police officers in my house. They stayed there for several hours to wait for the arrival of the social worker who will definitely accomplish the mission of legal removing the children from the family ,from home and from daddy.

I still remember that I and the social worker could not get along well. I insisted that my children were not at risk and therefore they should not be removed. She cleverly replied that they were not there to please my views ,but rather they were doing what my wife requested ..and that is taking the children away from a dangerous and criminal father. In a effortless manner I tried to explain this worker that it was illegal to remove my children this way for there is no danger for them at all.
..Not matter what I said or explained..she just did not care. that is the profile of some of these workers:" insensitive and cold".

L'histoire d'un homme qui tente de se faire entendre par la justice canadienne

L'histoire d'un homme qui tente de se faire entendre par la justice canadienne

17 juin 2008, 1h00 du matin. Monsieur Franklin Andrade, reçoit la visite des forces policières à son domicile de Montréal. De façon cavalière, on l'informe qu'une plainte d'agression sexuelle sur sa femme et ses enfants, a été portée contre lui devant la Cour provinciale du Manitoba. Une ordonnance de cette même cour, lui interdit d'approcher sa famille pour une période de 3 ans. Il a 20 jours pour contester. En attendant, il semblerait il">qu'il soit présumé coupable.

Ici à Montréal, on lui dit de trouver un avocat à Winnipeg. Impossible, l'informe-t-on là bas. L'aide juridique du Manitoba ne lui est pas accessible parce il">qu'il n'est pas résident de cette province. Difficile de s'y retrouver dans cette masse d'informations contradictoires dans laquelle monsieur Andrade doit SEUL se dépêtrer depuis deux mois, au péril de sa santé physique et mentale.

Ce il">qu'il faut savoir, c'est qu'après une première tentative infructueuse pour faire inculper monsieur Andrade d'un crime semblabe ici au Québec, madame avait pris la fuite avec les deux enfants du couple, direction Winnipeg. "Geste illégal" a-t-on dit à Monsieur Andrade, puisque des procédures étaient en cours pour faire établir la garde des enfants par les tribunaux. Alors, comment madame est-elle arrivée à convaincre le tribunal du Manitoba du bienfondé de ses allégations, si ce n'est en cachant les faits aux autorités.

Monsieur a donc rétabli les faits en multipliant les interventions auprès instances juridiques des deux provinces. On a reconnu l'irrégularité de la situation, mais plutôt que de se parler, les deux instances se renvoient la balle continuellement. C'est donc à Monsieur Andrade il">qu'il revient de composer avec une situation qui semble même échapper à la compétence des tribunaux.

L'équation est pourtant simple: pendant que monsieur tente de faire respecter ses droits parentaux et ceux de ses enfants, madame entrave le processus normal en portant des accusations graves au criminel, (à deux reprises) se prévalant ainsi de la protection des tribunaux. Là où ça se complique, c'est il">qu'il est impossible d'assigner madame à comparaître car on doit assurer sa protection! Donc, pas d'adresse, pas d'assignation!

Pendant ce temps, avocat">l'avocat qui s'occupe du dossier au civil (divorce et garde des enfants) dit que ce n'est pas son ressort et attend les bras croisés que l'adresse de madame lui arrive sur un plateau d'argent. Côté criminel, on prétend qu'aucune démarche ne peut être entreprise avant que les procédures civiles soient engagées. Pendant ce temps, monsieur ne peut se faire représenter au criminel à Winnipeg et la police reste passive, se contentant de dire elle">qu'elle appuiera monsieur, si (et seulment si) on prend contact avec elle pour connaître les conclusions de l'enquête. Idem pour les DPJ qui a fermé le dossier reconnaissant que monsieur n'a aucunement le profil d'un agresseur d'enfants. Question "protection juridique", on repassera!

Monsieur Andrade est tenace! De fil en aiguille, il réussit quand même à se faire des alliés à la Cour du Manitoba. Dans une tentative ultime de faire avancer les choses, on lui fait parvenir un formulaire via internet. "Mesure d'exception" lui a-t-on dit!

Mais encore là, peine perdue! Après avoir dûment complété le formulaire accompagné d'un affidavit expliquant la situation, témoignages à l'appui, une autre porte s'est refermée sur Monsieur Andrade. On lui refuse la contestation. Son fils de 18 ans resté au Chili témoigne de ce il">qu'il a vécu avec sa mère : irritabilité, dépression, instabilité émotionnelle. Mais rien n'y fait! L'affidavit n'était pas conforme, lui laisse-t-on comprendre. Question de technicalité donc? Va savoir! "La loi, c'est la loi!" Et la justice pendant ce temps?

Maintenant citoyen canadien, Monsieur Andrade vivait au Chili lors du coup d'état. Il croyait bien avoir tout vu. Mais, apparemment, il n'était pas au bout de ses peines... ici">D'ici deux jours, à moins que quelqu'un ne se décide à bouger, la police débarquera à nouveau chez Monsieur Andrade et on l'ammèra derrière les barrreaux, à moins il">qu'il ne trouve enfin quelqu'un pour défendre ses droits!

Hello, I am ready and willing to testify on behalf of Mr. Franklin Andrade. I fully support his cause for truth and justice. I strongly fell Mr. Andrade has been unfair treated by the Canadian laws. I am aware of al these false accusation with the malicious intention to take the custody over the children away from him.

I am a close friend of this family and I perceived myself from the beginnings the the manufactured lies portrayed by his wife, his hatred propaganda to brainwash the children against the father, and her compulsive and irrational behavior to discredit Mr. Andrade at all cost.

I also noticed that the children are not the same anymore. They lost interest for life, the are very sad and confused as the mother directly exposed them to the conflict and to the new reality of her extra-marital affair.

My name is Alvaro Alvarez,   and I will likely travel to Winnipeg to testify on behalf of Mr. Andrade

Witness to support Mr. Andrade fight for justice and truth.

Manitoba's Child Custody Enforcement Act

"The Child Custody Enforcement Act can help a parent enforce a custody or access order where the child is under 18 years of age. If the child is still in Manitoba, or has been brought to Manitoba, a parent entitled to custody or access under an order can ask the court for an enforcement order. The enforcement order may require information about the location of the child to be provided to the court, or require the police to help the parent get the child back from the abducting parent or help the parent exercise access times set out in the order. The court may refuse to enforce a custody or access order if there is a concern that doing so would cause the child serious harm. The Child Custody Enforcement Act can be viewed    here

"In addition, when a parent takes a child away from the parent given custody in a court order, or denies court ordered access, contempt proceedings may be started to bring the abducting or access-denying parent before the court that made the order. Contempt proceedings may be brought any time a person disobeys a court order. The court may impose a fine or jail sentence, or both, or order additional access times if satisfied the order has been disobeyed. If access is being denied or not being exercised, the court may order the parent who is not obeying the order to pay compensation to the other parent.

"If a Manitoba child has been taken to another province, civil court proceedings to enforce the custody or access order and have the child returned must be taken in the other province. Usually parents entitled to custody must hire their own lawyers to enforce the custody or access order in that province. In most provinces, the court can refuse to enforce the order if satisfied that doing so would cause the child to suffer serious harm or if satisfied that the child has no real connection with Manitoba because of the length of time he or she has been living elsewhere."

From:  Manitoba's Child Custody Enforcement Act

The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction

If a parent abducts a child from Canada (or to Canada from another country) an international treaty called The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (The Hague Convention)  may be of assistance in having the child returned. The treaty allows custody rights (whether or not there is an order) and, to a lesser extent, it also allows access rights to be enforced internationally when the abducted child is under 16 years of age.

The Hague Convention requires that children wrongfully removed from the country of their residence or wrongfully kept in another country, when the left-behind parent has custody, be promptly returned to his or her home country.

There are some limited exceptions to the requirements in The Hague Convention to return children, such as if a child would be harmed if returned or if the child wishes to remain in the other country and is old enough to have his or her views considered.

A much less difficult test applies when requests for return of a child are made more than a year after the child’s removal – the court in the other country can refuse to return the child if it feels the child is now settled in the new country. For that reason, it is extremely important to request the return of the abducted child at the earliest opportunity.

About 75 countries around the world have now signed and agreed to comply with the terms of The Hague Convention and the convention is in effect between Canada and 68 of these countries. For more information about how to request a child’s return and to learn if The Hague Convention is law in the country where a child has been taken, see the website for the Permanent Bureau of The Hague Conference at:  http://hcch.e-vision.nl  or contact:   ..
