Subject: The Greatest Tribute and Meaning to Honour Ashley Smith’s Life and Death - The case of the Living Ashley Smith From Newfoundland and Labrador. Will we help to save him or not?
The Greatest Tribute and Meaning to
Honour Ashley Smith’s Life and Death
Directed to the
Coroner’s Inquiry (for Ashley Smith), Governments, Institutions, Professionals,
Protection Agencies and those of us members of the public focused on all the
living “Ashley Smiths” and SAVING THEM NOW.
A case in point is a young boy that shall be called the Living Ashley
Smith from Newfoundland and Labrador sent to Ontario. Will this Ashley Smith be saved by us or was
the death of Ashley Smith of New
Brunswick who died in Ontario meaningless?
Ashley Smith of New
Brunswick did not survive the physical abuse, mental abuse, emotional
abuse, repeated indignity, and human rights abuses. This child, whose life was filled with
horrible torment, is dead. We all have a
responsibility for this child in our Canadian families. This happy, sensitive, carefree child had
many doctors, lawyers, judges, police, and social workers in her life; they
were supposed to be helping her. Where were they when she needed them the
most? As a result, there is a Coroner’s
Inquest into her death now in Toronto.
Why were her cries for help repeatedly ignored? Where was her
protection? Who is accountable? This is
heart breaking and there is much darkness here.
We need more light
There is a boy who
still struggles to survive. He is
currently a ward of the Province of Newfoundland/Labrador and he had been in
hospital after being sexually abused. An
employee of the hospital called the boy’s father to ask him if it was okay to
send Ashley Smith to a hotel, rather than returning him to the place where the
abuse took place. The child after the
alleged abuse took place gathered his courage and went to the police. This boy complained that his human rights were being violated and that
he was not being listened to.
Child Protect Canada wrote to The Child Advocate of
Newfoundland/Labrador Carol Chafe to Investigate on behalf of this child.
Child Protect Canada also wrote to the Advocate regarding the
whistle blower who brought forward documentation that this child and other
children’s Human Rights were being violated.
Child Protect Canada asked Carol Chafe to “ACT AS IF A CHILD’S LIFE DEPENDS ON IT’. Carol Chafe wrote back “I will look into
it”. Child Protect Canada has an
original copy of this email. Someone
from Child Advocates Office did go to see the victim at the hotel after this
email had been sent to them. That was more than a year ago.
There was a meeting
towards the end of 2012 between Carol Chafe, Lorraine Michael (the leader of
the New Democratic Party of Newfoundland/Labrador Legislature), the allegedly
victimized Whistle blower who fought for years to bring forward documented
allegations of the terrible violations of the human rights of children in
Newfoundland/Labrador, the father of the Living Ashley Smith, and Roxanne Pottle from The Child Advocate
Office. The father is quoted as saying
at this meeting regarding his son “My
son is the dirty little secret that no one wants to talk about.” At this meeting it also reported that Carol
Chafe said “ I don’t know about this
case.”
This is the email to Carol Chafe-Child and Youth Advocate for
Newfoundland /Labrador.
April 18, 2011
Dear Carol Chafe:
I am Reverend Jacob. I am Executive director of the
not-for-profit organization called Child Protect Canada. This is a letter
sent by us to Mr. Barry Fleming, The Ombudsman of Newfoundland Labrador to
investigate a very serious matter. We are attaching the email reply
of the Ombudsman in which he refers this matter to your jurisdiction.
Please investigate this very serious matter promptly.
Everything we have said to the Ombudsman applies to you. Please
“ Act As If A Child’s Life Depends On It “ .
Please
confirm your receipt of this email.
This the confirmation from Carol Chafe –Child and Youth Advocate for
Newfoundland/Labrador that she will check into this case.

Chafe, Carol

Why did Roxanne Pottle telephone the whistle blower before
this meeting asking that she be met with instead of The Child Advocate? The whistle blower refused. Why did Roxanne Pottle call the father of the
boy, as reported to Child Protect Canada, asking him to meet with her instead
of the Child Advocate? The father
refused indicating he would be going to the meeting with the Advocate. Did Roxanne Pottle pass by this invitation to
Lorraine Michael, The leader Of the NDP in the Newfoundland/Labrador
Legislature, to a meeting just with herself?
Why did Roxanne Pottle call the
boy, as reported to Child Protect Canada, to ask him how he is and promise
him “I will do everything in my power to
get you home”? This is so dark. We
need a lot of light here.
The Child Advocates Office was notified by Child Protect
Canada about this boy over a year
ago. They also knew of him and others
for many years, as the whistle blower had brought the information forward. Why promise Ashley Smith now that he will
be brought home? Is it because a
reporter from the Globe and Mail is asking questions about the boy?
This promise made to the boy was
made months ago and yet nothing has happened.
Is this about the boy or about Roxanne Pottle? Where is the written report for this
Investigation? Why wasn’t the father given
a report about this investigation? Who came to visit the boy from the Child
Advocates Office over a year ago after he had been released from the Hospital
and was placed in the hotel? How did she
know and from whom did this person get her instructions? Where is that report? What was the doctor told about this Boy? Why did the doctor allegedly keep
badgering Ashley Smith “you are lying, you are lying”?
Was
this boy’s ideation of harming
himself a threat to get attention, as New Brunswick’s Ashley Smith had done? Child
Protect Canada believes that Ashley Smith of New Brunswick did not want to hurt
herself but that her behavior was her attempt at asking to be paid attention to
- her cry for help in her nightmarish existence. Child Protect Canada believes
that this boy is crying for help also.
Did the boy’s doctor
who allegedly said to him repeatedly
“you are lying, you are lying…” interview and investigate the alleged sexual
abuser in this case? Did the doctor
investigate and interview anyone else who might, allegedly, have been attacked
by this person?
This was a criminal human rights case. Was this doctor part
of the healing process for this boy or
part of the violations of his human
rights at least under the UN Charter of Protection of the Child?
The child had a right to legal counsel as he brought, as a
victim, criminal allegations that he was sexually abused. Did the doctor have an obligation to see the
report of the thorough investigation of the alleged abuser? Did the doctor have an obligation to see the
thorough investigation of the history of the alleged sexual abuser and what
other people had to say who, allegedly, may have brought similar accusations,
like that, of the Living Ashley Smith, about the alleged abuser? Is this process that allegedly violated the
boy’s human rights, by this doctor and other professionals around him, left the
door open for future victims to be victimized because the alleged abuser’s
history and other alleged allegations of the abuser were not allegedly investigated
thoroughly?
Did the doctor understand that maybe the boy had a human right to legal
representation in any dealings with him?
Did the doctor understand that he may have been obstructing justice when
he hurled accusations at the boy, allegedly, repeating, “you are lying, you are
lying…”? In addition Child Protect
Canada feels the doctor, allegedly, with his repeated actions, was victimizing
the boy again and again. Did this doctor sign a Mental Health
Certificate, acting as Judge and Jury, and sent this boy with no criminal
record to a locked institution, out of province where it is reported the
people in this institution for the most part have a criminal record?
Is this doctor brainwashed?
Is he thinking to himself that he is doing good and helping the boy and
society? To act in such a way is horrible; in our
opinion he is allegedly doing a great injustice and his actions are of great
harm to the boy. He is a doctor! How can that be? Justice depends on him to do the right
thing. Shouldn’t he be accountable for
his actions here? Should privacy trump
Justice or Injustice? How prevalent is
this kind brainwashing where doctors act, allegedly, not on the facts but on baseless
and untrue information?
Child Protect Canada believes that this alleged
brainwashing, as seen in this case of the doctor from Newfoundland/Labrador, is
quite common in our society and is a source of great harm and we as a society
must bring attention and a mindfulness to educate and change this behavior. This endemic behavior must be highlighted by
all of us so accountability can be brought into the equation and learning can
happen so this behavior, that is a source of great harm and enormous
misspending and misdirecting of Canadian’s taxes and health tax dollars, is changed.
Child Protect Canada is asking: Who is
running the Child Advocate Office of Newfoundland and Labrador? Child Protect Canada is alleging that The
Child Advocate Office of Newfoundland/Labrador is very dysfunctional and needs
to be investigated and changed quickly so that its mandate of protecting the
Children of Newfoundland and Labrador is clearly seen and its actions are
transparent. Very sadly that is not True now at all. The Dunderdale Government
must bring True Accountability here in its investigations so this kind of
behavior by anyone does not happen again.
The Children and People of Newfoundland Labrador and Canada deserve
better from their elected officials to route out this kind of behavior.
This is the same question that Darlene Neville, the Previous Child Advocate, seems to be asking in
her Superior Court Case filings and what has been going on in
Newfoundland/Labrador and what has been happening to our Canadian children
there. Please Google Darlene Neville and
check out the court documents and Darlene Neville’s fight to Bring
accountability from Eastern Health to Child Protection in
Newfoundland/Labrador. Please note
Darlene Neville’s allegations against Roxanne Pottle in her filings in the
Superior Court Documents.
The Living Ashley
Smith requested from the Eastern Health social worker that his father be
present at the police meeting. It is
alleged the social worker stopped the father from being at the meeting. The
father said to Child Protect Canada “she said there wasn’t enough room for me
in the meeting”. The father says “there
were maybe five people in all the police station that he could see at that
time.”
It was reported to Child protect Canada that the boy had ideation of harming himself. Does this remind you of Ashley Smith of New
Brunswick who died in Ontario? The boy’s
human rights were violated and he was not listened to. The boy
stated to his father that He wants a
different doctor because the one that was appointed to him (allegedly by his social
worker from Eastern Health) keeps telling him
that ”you are lying, you are lying…” it
is very deeply upsetting to the Living
Ashley Smith that the doctor keeps doing that. He also told his father that
it is frightening that the person who sexually abused him is allowed to be around him.
The Living Ashley
Smith was lied to. He was told
that he could go to a nice place to ride horses and go fishing. Therefore, He agreed to go.
Instead he was
sent to a locked Institution in the Province to Ontario.
The boy told his
father that he was frightened to be in this place because some young people at
the institution pushed him down the
stairs and then one of the people who was guarding him pinned him down as he lay on the floor. Another time the boy related to his father that for a big stretch of time many
police cars came to the institution because of police troubles there. This is so heartbreaking. There is so much darkness here.
We need more light
The greatest tribute to
Ashley Smith is to help all the Children in Canada whose cry for help can be
heard now.
Child Protect Canada believes
that Healing and Change can come by
setting up Truth and Reconciliation
bodies for all these children and the professionals and institutions involved
in their lives. In this way endemic
institutional behavior can change and we can become a healed, gentler and
kinder society.
