今天，保守党的安省代表John Tory终于向儿童及青年服务部（CAS得上级部门）发问。Children Aids Society， CAS的领导们，享受着价值五万的豪华SUV，频繁的出国考察，每年光健身福利就是2000加元，可是那些需要救助的孩子呢？

一位代表受害者起诉CAS的律师透露，当事人的孩子在被CAS带走后，在被CAS养育的期间，遭到性侵害，这个家庭的气愤已经无法言表，监守自盗，都是缺乏监督、绝对的权力导致了绝对的腐败。

正式的报告出台还需要一周时间，但是CBC 已经得到了一份拷贝。报告中所述事实，令人万分震惊，在安省政坛掀起了轩然大波。要不是保守党提议，这份报告也会像前几年的报告一样，不会对公众公开。

报告只是考察了4家CAS，安省总共有50多家，没有被揭发出来的腐败还不知道有多少呢。

可怜的刘女士以及她的孩子。

Ontario’s auditor general will expose “questionable” spending such as the purchase of SUVs over $50,000 for executives at some children’s aid societies in his report next week, according to a report leaked Thursday.
The spending also included trips by children under children’s aid care to the Caribbean under the supervision of staff, including a weeklong resort stay in St. Martin.
This comes at a time when the auditor general’s review of some children’s aid cases found first visits to probe children at risk were an average of three weeks late, with some children never being seen at all.
“I think the public is going to be outraged when they hear this,” retired homicide detective Michael Davis, who has reviewed hundreds of child deaths under children’s aid care, is quoted telling CBC radio, which obtained the documents.
The report did not name any of the province’s 53 children’s aid societies directly, but the auditor general’s review included societies in Toronto, Peel Region, York Region and Thunder Bay.
Children and Youth Services Minister Mary Anne Chambers wouldn’t comment in detail on the leaked report but acknowledged she has been made aware of some of the issues.
“I am not hiding from anything,” she said. “I will look forward to taking whatever action is necessary.”
The Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies refused comment until Tuesday, when the report will be released.
"It’s appalling,’’ said NDP children’s critic Andrea Horwath (Hamilton East).
The revelations, to be detailed on Tuesday in the auditor general annual report, are expected to be a hot topic in question period Thursday at the Ontario legislature.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
