Canadian Child Authorities Pursue Sexual Abuse Case Based On Psychic Reading
WTF? This is way too bizarre to pass up…
A Canadian woman said that the school board advised her that her autistic daughter’s teacher had visited a psychic, who said a youngster whose name started with “V” (autistic and non-speaking daughter’s name is Victoria) was being sexually abused by a man between 23 and 26 years old. So they immediately notified the CAS (Children’s Aid Society), who opened a sexual abuse investigation on Victoria…
BARRIE — The mother of an autistic girl says the public school board was “completely unprofessional” to formulate a theory that her daughter was being sexually abused based on a psychic’s perception.
Barrie resident Colleen Leduc wants an apology from the Simcoe County District School Board, which called in the Children’s Aid Society (CAS) to investigate.
According to the board, the case is still under investigation, although Leduc says it was closed.
Leduc immediately pulled her 11-year-old daughter, Victoria Nolet, out of Terry Fox Elementary School in north-end Barrie.
“I have trust issues now,” Leduc said. “What are they going to concoct next week?”
Victoria has severe autism and is nonverbal.
The local CAS won’t comment on specific investigations, but said the legislation stipulates that all cases of suspected abuse be reported “if there are reasonable grounds.”
But Leduc said information gleaned from a psychic shouldn’t be the impetus for the board to launch a CAS investigation.
“First of all, what were they doing taking a psychic’s word? Then they correlated that with (Victoria’s) behaviour to design a theory,” Leduc said.
The board stands by its decision, despite where the initial information came from.
On May 30, Leduc picked Victoria up from school, where she’s enrolled in an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) class with several boys around the same age. When Leduc returned home, there was an urgent call asking her to return to the Livingstone Street East school.
Frightened, Leduc rushed back to the school. She and Victoria entered a room where they were met by the principal, the vice-principal and the teacher.
Leduc said they advised her that Victoria’s educational assistant (EA) had visited a psychic, who said a youngster whose name started with “V” was being sexually abused by a man between 23 and 26 years old. Leduc was also handed a list of recent behaviours exhibited by her daughter.
School principal Brian Tremain — who referred phone calls seeking comment to the board — advised Leduc that the CAS had been contacted.
“That’s when I got sick to my stomach,” she said. “I was shocked the whole meeting.”
