Unprecedented Hack: Alleged Ontario CAS Hacker Trial Update: 18/09/03

why do I use caps so often? it's easier for some people to see it

[20] Ms. Denman, who is the central actor either as a commendable whistleblower or as a deplorable newsmonger and hacker and leaker of confidential information is seriously inconvenienced and possibly prejudiced by having to defend or prosecute the various proceedings in Toronto, where she has been unable to obtain a lawyer to represent her.

THERE IS AND WAS NO DEAL AT ALL.

KELLEY JUST TOLD THE TRUTH TO SOMEONE WHO HADN'T ALREADY MADE UP THEIR MIND, WILLING TO LISTEN TO IT AND CHECK IT..

MR BROWN THEN ASKED MISS DENHAM MANY MANY QUESTIONS. SHE ANSWERED THEM ALL IN THE SAME IN THE EXTREMELY WELL DOCUMENTED DETAIL.

MR BROWN ASK MISS DENHAM TO EXPLAIN TO HIM WHAT HAPPENED AND SHE DID IN EXTREMELY WELL DOCUMENTED DETAIL IN A SWORN AFFIDAVIT.

NOW THAT KELLEY HAS BEEN DROPPED FCSLLG LAWYERS ARE NOW SUING MISS DENHAM DIRECTLY IN HOPES OF GETTING A RULING THAT WILL SATISFY ANY POSSIBLE INSURANCE CLAIMS FCSLLG MIGHT HAVE.

MR. BROWN THEN SPECIFIED THAT MISS DENHAM'S LIABILITY WOULD ONLY BE ONE DOLLAR.

MISS DENHAM WAS ONLY INCLUDED AS DEFENDANT IN THE CLASS ACTION BY FCSLLG'S BUSINESS LAWYERS (FASKEN) WHO SAID IF KELLEY WASN'T INCLUDED AS A DEFENDANT THEY WOULD FILE SOME KIND OF LEGALISE PAPERWORK TO HAVE MISS DENHAM ADDED AS A DEFENDANT,

WHAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW IS

WHEN THE CROWN IN THE CRIMINAL PROCEEDING WAS INFORMED OF THE DEVELOPMENT HE STATED HE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT AND INSINUATED THAT MISS DENHAM HAD MADE A DIRTY DEAL

AS SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW ALREADY IS ACCUSED CAS HACKER KELLEY DENHAM WAS RECENTLY DROPPED AS A DEFENDANT IN THE $75 MILLION DOLLAR CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST THE CHILDREN'S AID SOCIETY (FCSLLG.)

WHO WAS KELLEY DENHAM'S LAWYER BEFORE THE PERTH CROWN ASKED THE JUDGE TO CANCEL THE TRIAL IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE ALLEGED VICTIMS OF A HACK (FCSLLG) MORE TIME TO PREPARE TO TESTIFY?

Watch, "Meet Michael Crystal former lawyer for the accused CAS hacker Kelley Denham." AS OF MAR. 21, 2018 IN ONTARIO'S ALLEGED CAS HACKER CASE THE FOLLOWING CHARGES AGAINST KELLEY DENHAM HAVE BEEN DROPPED. 1) Theft under $5000



2) Traffick in identity Information Unprecedented Hack: Trial Update: 17/07/31. "Unprecedented Hack Still Unprecedented..."

Michael A. Crystal lawyer for the accused went on to say in the open courtroom all parties were now aware the tech report stated clearly there had been no hack, no mischief to data, no breach of security, that FCSLLG's website was open to browsing and he was prepared to go trial now.

The Perth crown was unable to say how long FCSLLG's "internal review process" of the notes made by former FCSLLG staff members will take or when the trial can actually begin.

WHY CAN'T KELLEY DENHAM GET A FAIR TRIAL IN PERTH ONTARIO..

TRAIL UPDATE: 18/08/28. FAIR TRIALS IN CANADA JUST AREN'T WHAT THEY USED TO BE...

At today's trial adjournment application hearing decision the judge stated that though it would be in Kelley's best interest to have a lawyer present at her trial the judged denied the application and reasons for the application in regards to any new information that conflicts with information in the criminal proceedings uncovered by the College of Social Work's investigation into a complaint made by FCSLLG's project manager Margret Row and FCSLLG's lawyers (Fasken) in the civil proceedings in which recently Miss Denham was dropped as a defendant in the $75 million dollar class action suit leaving FCSLLG the sole defendant in the suit.

The Perth crown's office after stalling setting a trial date for nearly a year and then cancelling the first trial date one week before it was supposed to begin claimed that trial had been cancelled weeks before the trail date as a joint request from the defense and the crown's office which was and is a flat out lie..

The crown then stated he was unaware of any new evidence uncovered by the College investigation and that he was unaware the College had completed a year long investigation of their own into the matter to which Miss Denham had only just recently received a very interesting disclosure with many relevant documents and testimony from the breach the police investigation and crown had failed to include in the criminal case and FCSLLG had failed to turn over to the court and the crown appeared to be totally unwilling to look any further into the matter of other documents and testimony that might be relevant though he did say he had a duty to review the case if new information did become available.

Kelley's lawyer after the first trial date had been canceled left the case when Kelley was unable to afford the added costs of the many many delays and final cancellation of the first trial date that was set that her lawyer had been available for.

The judge's reasoning to deny the application was the case had already inconvenienced the court for two years and Miss Denham's application and inability to just go out and find and retain another lawyer who specializes in these kind of cases was just untimely and that he could not see how any new information uncovered by either the much lengthier College investigation or the class action that conflicts with the crown's case would be relevant in the criminal case against Miss Denham and any evidence from those two parallel proceedings would remain separate from the criminal trial and Kelley will not be allowed to use any of it in her criminal defense..

Hmmmm... Any conflicting evidence or evidence contrary to the crown's case isn't relevant?

The system has gone from protecting the CAS to protecting a totally corrupt crown..

UNPRECEDENTED HACK: TRIAL UPDATE: 18/08/21

Kelley's trial confirmation hearing yesterday was adjourned till next Tuesday to hear an application for a trial adjournment that would allow Kelley's new lawyer time to prepare for trial.

::::

UNPRECEDENTED HACK: TRIAL UPDATE: 18/08/14.

Can Kelley Denham get a fair trial in Perth Ontario?

Well, here's how things stand now.

Whether or not Kelley Denham will have a lawyer for her trial is now contingent on the judge approving an application for an adjournment made by a lawyer willing to take her case that sites a lot of case law and new discoveries among other things and she is not available for the date currently set for the trial to start ..

The Perth crown who justified refusing a request to share the criminal disclosure with class action lawyer Sean Brown by claiming he was protecting Kelley's right to a fair trial is opposed to the application.. It seems like protecting a defendant's right to a fair trial has a very convenient on off switch..

Before the actual application was made the judge stated there would be no more delays.. Not once in two years has Kelley asked for a delay till now and the judge has bent over backwards to accommodate the crown on the behalf of FCSLLG.

A town divided, a family in peril with the child protection industry on the brink of exposure a working mother of four young children is denied legal aid and finds herself alone after paying a $5000 retainer to a lawyer who is no longer available for trial. She is now single handedly battling against a small army of CAS lawyers and the Perth crown's office to keep the truth from being sealed away by the the courts.

Despite the all out efforts of a multi-billion dollar government funded private corporation and a small army of unscrupulous high priced lawyers to misrepresent or omit relevant facts and slander, discredit and shame Kelley Denham in the media and the courts, her work at the ALTC and her efforts with the Smith's Falls Mission continue to make our community a more open and all inclusive community.

Kelley Denham, mother of four has been charged with theft under $5,000, mischief over $5,000, mischief to data, unauthorized use of a computer, traffick in identity information, and publication of identifying information all because she posted a picture of a hyper-link to Facebook.

Representing the Children's Aid Society (FCSLLG) is Fasken, formerly Fasken Martineau DuMoulin, an international business law firm with approximately 700 lawyers and offices in Vancouver, Surrey, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal, Québec City, Beijing, London and Johannesburg.

WHO IS KELLEY DENHAM?

A new program being offered in Smiths Falls, Bridges out of Poverty, helps participants assess their lives and give them the agency, confidence and a plan to move beyond their current circumstance. And while the program is new in town, it's not new to the world.

“Bridges out of Poverty is a movement, a movement that calls on the entire community to help build bridges out of poverty for local families,” said co-facilitator of the program, Kelley Denham. "It’s in six countries now. In Canada, it’s big in Sarnia and Lambton area."

The Adult Learning & Training Centre, along with Lanark County Mental Health, Ontrac, Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Health Unit, Rideau Community Health Services and Health Link Rideau Tay, brought the Bridges out of Poverty initiative to Smiths Falls for the first time this spring.

The group, made up of seven people, including two youth, a senior, somebody in housing who was a mother of three young kids and three people on Ontario Disability Support Program, participated in the inaugural run of the program. All seven participants graduated in June. The group met once a week for 12 weeks.

The program is based on the work of Ruby Payne, American educator and author known for her work on the culture of poverty, including the invisible rules of the social classes.

“It’s really cool stuff,” said Denham, who has real-world experience dealing with poverty, she realized the effectiveness this program could have on others. “It made a lot of sense to me having been poor, and then not poor, and then poor again, and then not poor.

“I know how hard it is because you’re living day-by-day, you’re just surviving," she said. "You’re not going to think about tomorrow if you don’t know what you’re going to eat today. It’s impossible.”

Before the Bridges out of Poverty program, Denham had been trying to help people on a one-on-one basis. But after seeing a Bridges out of Poverty workshop, put on by Gayle Montgomery, while attending Algonquin College she knew there could be potential to bring the program to town.

“She’s explaining how to get out of poverty and I’m like: ‘That’s exactly what I did. This is the road map. This is how you do it.'”

Last August, a working group formed in town and the program was born.

Participants work on creating their “future stories” as well as thinking critically about what poverty means, how to break the cycle of poverty to create life choices, and what nuances exist when thinking about class structures.

“This model defines poverty as the extent someone does without resources,” explained Denham. Poverty isn’t solely defined by income; the reasons that keep people in a cycle of poverty is complex.

“Most organizations either say it’s individual choices that keep people in poverty and others say it’s systemic barriers that keep people in poverty,” said Denham. “The reality is it’s a mix and in order to address poverty we need to address it at all of these levels.

“A lot of people in poverty believe they are faded — nothing will ever get better, there’s no other options, I had kids young I’m always going to be poor and that’s just it.”

The aim of the workshop is to help individuals identify which of their resources are low and work toward building them with whichever resources they have that are high.

Bridges out of Poverty participant, Faith-Marie Donaldson, speaks about the program and how it helped her build confidence and agency to help her, help herself. — Evelyn Harford/Metroland

One participant, Faith-Marie Donaldson, 24, said the program helped develop her agency to take control of her own situation. Since graduating from the program in June, Donaldson has landed a job and has plans to get the rest of her four credits required to receive her high school diploma.

“I’ve been wanting to get a job for a while, but with anxiety it was nerve-racking to take the first step,” she said. “I think it’s because of this group, I was able to take the first step. Everybody needs a push once in a while.”

This program, said Donaldson, has helped give her the confidence she needed to move forward.

“It’s really eye-opening, educational,” she said. “I don’t think I’d be where I am without this group. I want to make a difference in this world — but my confidence to do it was actually pretty low.”

Donaldson has seen both sides of the coin — experiencing life in poverty as well as in the middle class — and now living somewhere in between.

“Growing up, we were always OK with money,” she said.

But when her dad lost his job at Hershey, an employer he had worked for since he was a teenager, things changed.

“We struggled a lot with money.

“It was a weird transition,” she said of experiencing poverty for the first time. “I was so young. I didn’t realize the impact.”

Donaldson explained that there’s a stigma that’s attached to being poor and the invisible divide that separates those in poverty from those in the middle and upper classes.

And why, she said she always finds a way to be nice to others.

“You have no how much they (others) could be struggling,” she said. “You have no idea what they’re going through.”

Being poor comes with a lot of fear, explained Donaldson.

“But,” she said. “When you have a community (to support you) it helps soften the blow.”

And while community does come together, Donaldson feels that more empathy, tolerance and acceptance, is needed.

“We need to actually come together as a community,” she said. “We need to understand what the other side of the fence is going through or else we’re always going to get stuck in the patter of stigma and judgment.

“Until we do that, nothing is going to get better."

Donaldson’s advice to others considering the program: “Go for it.”

Now Donaldson has a job, is moving out of her parents’ house, and has an offer to help co-facilitate a program at Lanark County Mental Health. She also got an offer to help co-facilitate the Bridges out of Poverty group.

Donaldson said she always wanted to go into counselling but didn’t think she could do it. But, now with these recent offers, her confidence to chase her dreams has been reignited.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

In order to get as many people through the door, the Bridges out of Poverty program takes care of everything for their participants — including child care and lunch.

Along with donations from involved agencies, the Bridges out of Poverty program has received donations from Andress’ Independent Grocer and Apple House Art Gallery. Apple House Art Gallery founder, Patricia Mosher, has also volunteered her time to provide the child-care and has developed an artistically-focused curriculum. The Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute’s hospitality class has provided lunch, while Glad Tidings church in Perth is providing snacks which is likely breakfast for many participants.

The second round of Bridges out of Poverty will start this September. If you would like to participate reach out to Kelley Denham at kelley.denham@altclanark.com

"Family and Children's services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville faces $75 MILLION DOLLAR negligence suit."

The criminal trial had been previously scheduled to happen through August 8th to the 18th but was canceled after the Perth crown was forced to admit the alleged victim of the hack was unprepared to go to trial and testify after Kelley refused the second of four offers to plead guilty for a slap on the wrist and one request to sign an agreed statement of FCSLLG's version of the facts presented by the crown.

Lemay admits the report was on the FCSLLG's website but says it was hidden behind several layers of security including a password given only to the organization's board of directors.

"We suspect it was a hack. It might not have been a sophisticated one," says Mr. LeMay, the organization's executive director and I suspect that is the case," he adds.

"You have to go through the back door. You have to be looking for this," he says. (Funny how Mr Lemay just assumes Kelley was looking for "it" when she found the list with her name on it.)

"The court process will determine whether there was negligence or not." I think that's the ultimate question.

WELL MR. LEMAY YOU CAN'T HIDE ANYMORE - IT'S TIME TO PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS AND GET ON THE STAND AND FACE CROSS EXAMINATION.

Meanwhile in civil court…

Right after my criminal court appearance, I head down to the local office supply shop for some help with faxing documents. This store has been like a second office to me for years. This is how I serve my statement of defence to the agency’s crossclaim against me in civil court. This is probably the most important document in the civil case for me to file. There is a case conference and a motion happening this month. I’ve done a lot of work and travelling to Toronto to make sure nothing stalls the process. The plaintiff made a motion to request my criminal crown disclosure. I, of course, consented to this. I will be relying on the evidence within as well. The Civil Crown, however, said no as it may jeopardize my fair trial rights. I am preparing to argue that it will actually safeguard my fair trial rights, not impede them. I sense another blog series may be necessary.

"Family and Children's services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville faces $75 MILLION DOLLAR negligence suit."

By Sabrina Bedford, The Recorder and Times

Friday, December 15, 2017.

According to the suit, the personal information of the 285 clients was compiled into an electronic file, prepared for the service’s board of directors on new cases arising between April and November of 2015, but was not properly secured on the agency’s network.

This made the list publicly available to anyone, they said, and in her affidavit Denham explained how she came into possession of the sensitive and confidential documents.

She said she found and clicked on an unrelated document on the website intended for the public. She deleted a portion of the URL, and she was taken to a directory of folders with documents, within which she found the document with the names of local families.

She said she was never asked a username or password and was never faced with any security measures that impeded her ability to access the documents.

She said she attempted multiple times to advise the agency the confidential documents were available on the public website, beginning in February 2016, but the documents were still publicly available by late April 2016. This is when she decided to post the location of the report on the Facebook group where she claims she posted an image of a hyperlink, which was deleted by the group’s administrator within hours.

How NOT to Respond to a Privacy Complaint!

Do your staff know how to respond to a privacy complaint? Do your staff, volunteers, or directors login to a server to access documents remotely? Have you done a security assessment to ensure that the access is secure? Do they know how to manage confidential documents once they have downloaded them?

You Can Use This Privacy Breach Example to Review and Improve Your Practices

Do you store confidential documents on your website? After all, a website is a type of a file server accessible from an internet connection that is often hosted by a third party. There is often a public access and a members-only side for authorized users to login and view and download documents.

Maybe you intended only authorized users to access the file – but are you sure that it is secure? Here's what can happen if your confidential documents can be found by the public!

In 2016, personal information of the 285 clients was compiled into an electronic file, prepared for the service’s board of directors on new cases arising between April and November of 2015, but was not properly secured on the agency’s website. The files were subsequently viewed by the public.

What happened

An alleged privacy breach at Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville (FCSLLG) of Brockville, Ontario in 2016 has led to the agency being sued for negligence, invasion of privacy and a breach of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The personal information of the 285 clients was compiled into an electronic file, and prepared for the service’s board of directors to review in the course of their business.

The list was publicly available to anyone, who knew the correct URL website address.

Someone accidently ‘found’ the website address and saw the confidential information. She notified the FCSLLG and warned them that the information was available to the public. When she did not receive a response from FCSLLG that acknowledged her concern and correct the problem, she posted the information on Facebook.

The lawsuit seeks $25 million in general damages, $25 million in special damages and $25 million in punitive, aggravated and exemplary damages.

The lawsuit alleges that the FCSLLG website was completely unsecured between February and April 2016, with the full knowledge of FCSLLG.

Privacy Nuggets You Need to Know:

We can only wonder about the outcome of the breach if the staff at the agency had promptly responded to the privacy breach complaint. It is possible that if the agency had secured the information immediately and limited any further disclosure that the lawsuit might had been avoided.

Know how to properly respond to a privacy and security complaint or privacy breach. Create or review your written procedures now!

Identify and train a privacy officer in your business.

This unfortunate breach is a good reminder for all businesses to follow-up with your information technology and website host support to ensure that your server has been properly secured and training provided to staff to properly upload files to the secure server. In addition:

Consider hiring a managed service provider to ensure secure access only to authorized users. If you allow remote access to confidential information, you can’t afford not to have experts to help you!

Know how to secure documents on your file server.

Make sure that your authorized users know how to securely manage the documents after they have downloaded them from your secure file server.

There are many privacy breaches in the news each day. The more you know about the breaches and how they can affect you allows you to be more proactive to prevent privacy breach pain.

When we know better, we can do better.

I’ve helped hundreds of healthcare practices prevent privacy breach pain like this. If you would like to discuss how I can help your practice, just send me an email. I am here to help you.

What's your opinion.

If FCSLLG lied about being hacked and where and how the information was being store (and used), does the public have a right to know?

In other words, when the CAS acts in bad faith should the public know about it?

OACAS doesn't think so and has been using child protection legislation to hide what they do and how they're doing it.

"Ontario's Family and Children's Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville is reporting going over budget $792,292 in what they're calling a budget shortfall then claim to be the victims in a ransomware attack...

FCSLLG : Annual Report 2016–2017.

Over the course of this year, one unexpected challenge the agency is still managing is related to a whistleblower informing the public to unprotected client information on our privately operated PUBLIC INFORMATION WEBSITE hosted on a US server (about as far from an internal server as you can get) that the agency was using as a sharing platform with other unnamed agencies and to make it easier for board members to access without a password. This challenge has remained an ongoing issue.

The costs associated with this breach and a totally unexpected massive increase in the costs of placements in group homes for the 198 children currently in our care led to an un-forecasted shortfall of about $792,292, though most of the increase is in the still mounting costs of stalling tactics, dirty tricks and corrupt lawyer fees in the upcoming $75 million dollar class action lawsuit - and this after many many years of generating enormous surpluses that we feel more than makes up for this unfortunate situation.

We continue to collude and collaborate with appropriate partners in the cover up and will continue to do so until all aspects of this matter are secretly resolved in the months ahead.

Any parties interested in reading the technical reports provided by FCSLLG's own expert on what really happened may not request or view the technical documents and you'll just have to take our word for what happened till it's revealed in the lawsuit.

There has also been much change in our management team with about half of the service managers being recently demoted and transferred away from front line positions.

Our leadership development activities are geared to prepare internal succession after no one answered our job "opportunities" ad, and all new managers have been in direct services with our organization – thus there is change but also continuity.

Over the past year a few employees have retired, some are off on maternity leave or suddenly left extended vacations while others have left to pursue their careers elsewhere like rats fleeing a sinking ship.

About 70% of our Family Services workers have less than 2 years of experience with the organization or anything beyond a general two year diploma in social work. The agency's other service functions have proven more stable though we're unable to say what they are.

Also the agency has preemptively requested that the Ministry of Child and Youth Services conduct a financial review.

Drop All Charges Against Kelley Denham.

Kelley Denham, mother of four has been charged with theft under $5,000, mischief over $5,000, mischief to data, unauthorized use of a computer, traffick in identity information, and publication of identifying information all because she posted a picture of a hyper-link to Facebook.

Ms. Denham lodged complaints with both the Ministry and even Premier Kathleen Wynne's office, that personal information about the clients of Family and Children's Services of Lanark Leeds and Grenville, (FCSLLG) was accessible without password protection and that FCSLLG were fully aware that the information was readily accessible and unsecured. She also informed media both local and national. She exhausted every avenue to try to force FCSLLG to password protect the website or take it down. This informs all of us that we are powerless to protect our private information when we contact the proper authorities or the media. They were advised of the situation months prior and refused to protect the information on their website. They knowingly left the private information of their clients unprotected and only acted to shut down their website when Ms. Denham went public. Ms. Denham is a whistle-blower, not a criminal and it would be in the public's best interest to drop all criminal charges against her immediately.

An alleged privacy breach at Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville (FCS) last year has led to the agency being sued for negligence, invasion of privacy and a breach of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

A multi-million-dollar class action lawsuit was filed in April 2016 against the agency as a result of a security breach that allegedly allowed for the names of 285 local children’s aid clients being published on Facebook, an offense made illegal under the Child and Family Services Act.

This week, lawyers for the plaintiff, named only as M.M., confirmed they filed a notice of motion in a Toronto courtroom to pursue claims of negligence, intrusion upon seclusion (invasion of personal privacy) and a breach of section 7 of the Charter (life, liberty and security of person) against FCS.

The suit initially alleged last year that someone hacked into the website to find the list, but lawyers for the plaintiff say an affidavit from Kelley Denham, the person who allegedly posted the location of the client list to Facebook and one of the defendants in the case, changed their course of action.

“We initially believed, based on quotes from (FCS executive director) Raymond Lemay and news reports, that this was a case of hacking of the secured FCSLLG website intended only for members of its board of directors,” Sean Brown, a lawyer with Flaherty McCarthy LLP who represents the plaintiff, told The Recorder and Times in an email.

“It now appears that this is not the case. Rather, it appears that the FCSLLG website was completely unsecured between February and April 2016, with the full knowledge of FCSLLG.”

The suit seeks $25 million in general damages, $25 million in special damages and $25 million in punitive, aggravated and exemplary damages.

According to the suit, the personal information of the 285 clients was compiled into an electronic file, prepared for the service’s board of directors on new cases arising between April and November of 2015, but was not properly secured on the agency’s network.

This made the list publicly available to anyone, they said, and in her affidavit Denham explained how she came into possession of the sensitive and confidential documents.

She said she found and clicked on an unrelated document on the website intended for the public. She deleted a portion of the URL, and she was taken to a directory of folders with documents, within which she found the document with the names of local families.

She said she was never asked a username or password and was never faced with any security measures that impeded her ability to access the documents.

She said she attempted multiple times to advise the agency the confidential documents were available on the public website, beginning in February 2016, but the documents were still publicly available by late April 2016. This is when she decided to post the location of the report on the Facebook group where she claims she posted an image of a hyperlink, which was deleted by the group’s administrator within hours.

She said she did not hack any secure portals, rather the site was completely unsecured and she was able to access the files unimpeded.

She is listed in the lawsuit as a defendant and is being charged with intrusion upon seclusion.

According to her own website KelleyandDerek.com, she is also being charged criminally for matters in relation to this case that are still before the court, including: Theft under $5,000, mischief over $5,000, mischief to data, unauthorized use of a computer, traffick in identity information, and publication of identifying information.

Brown said the evidence offered by Denham voluntarily in support of their notice of motion “directly contradicts the narrative pushed by FCSLLG at the time of this alleged breach.”

“Our own client, M.M., was not previously aware of the facts as alleged by Ms. Denham,” he said.

“She believed and accepted the version of events offered by FCSLLG. She was both surprised and upset to read Ms. Denham’s Affidavit and learn that the version of events offered by FCSLLG at the time may not be true.”

M.M., the plaintiff in the case representing the class action, wrote in an affidavit her family was the subject of a FCSLLG investigation for a brief period in April 2015. She said her file was soon closed and no action was taken against her family, and that the investigation was short-lived and found no wrongdoing on the part of her or her partner.

“I did not expect to hear from FCSLLG again,” she wrote in the affidavit.

But her name was included as one of the 285 made publicly available during the security breach, according to the suit.

“The knowledge that my name was disclosed in the breached report has caused me distress, anxiety and humiliation. I fear that the fact my family was the subject of an FCSLLG investigation will brand both myself and my partner as child abusers, when this is categorically and unequivocally not true.”

None of the allegations have been proven in court.

IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE...

Ontario's CAS grappling with how to monitor privacy breaches. July 17, 2017 ARTICLE SOURCE Toronto Star.

Child welfare workers who pry into electronic records of youth in care are impossible to track, critics warn, with an alert system for possible privacy breaches used only on select files.

The challenge of tracking who is using the system isn't unique to the new system, as previous independent children's aid society databases faced the same problem, according to Elman.

SOLUTION....

The ISG Series Integrated Security Gateways.

The ISG Series Integrated Security Gateways are ideally suited for securing enterprise, carrier, and data center environments where advanced applications, such as VoIP and streaming media, demand consistent, scalable performance. The Juniper Networks ISG1000 and ISG2000 Integrated Security Gateways are purpose-built security solutions that leverage a fourth-generation security ASIC, along with high speed microprocessors to deliver unmatched firewall and VPN performance. Integrating best-inclass firewall, VPN, and optional Intrusion Detection and Prevention, the ISG1000 and ISG2000 enable secure, reliable connectivity along with network-and application-level protection for critical, high-traffic network segments.

Network segmentation: Security zones, virtual systems, virtual LANS and virtual routers allow administrators to deploy security policies to isolate guests and regional servers or databases.

Optional Integrated IDP:

The ISG Series firewall/VPN with IDP uses the same award-winning software found on Juniper Networks IDP Series appliances.

The IDP security module combines eight detection mechanisms, including stateful signatures and protocol anomaly detection.

The ISG with IDP defends against security threats such as worms, trojans, malware, spyware, unauthorized users and hackers and can provide information on rogue servers and data on applications and operating systems that were inadvertently added to the network. Application signatures enable administrators to maintain compliance and enforce corporate business policies with accurate detection of application traffic.

Anderas von Cramon operates a free family law clinic for families dealing with the CAS out of the courthouse to provide advice to people and to help them to prepare for family law cases, or to try to resolve their family cases outside the court. (sign consent forms and service agreement)

Parents go in praying for competent representation and good advice and instead get someone willing to bill legal aid to guide the parents through the process of having all their rights, dignity and children stipped away from them. According to legal aid right now family lawyers willing to accept legal aid bill an average of $40 000 dollars per case for not filing documents or filing them after the court has already granted the society a supervision order.. Or the society requests the judge order the parents to sign consent or service agreements after the parents have refused to sign anything and the judges oblige the society by ordering the parents to just cooperate.

Anderas von Cramon also gives basic help drafting documents. Basic means what? It means no help swearing in and filing documents or serving the document before the deadline - which means he does less than nothing.

DEFINITION of 'Protected Cell Company (PCC)'

A corporate structure in which a single legal entity is comprised of a core and several cells that have separate assets and liabilities. The protected cell company, or PCC, has a similar design to a hub and spoke, with the central core organization linked to individual cells. Each cell is independent of each other and of the company’s core, but the entire unit is still a single legal entity.

The basic principle behind cell organization is simple: By dividing the greater organization into many multi-person groups and compartmentalizing and concealing information inside each cell as needed, the greater organization is more likely to survive unchanged if one of its components is compromised and as such, they are remarkably difficult to penetrate and hold accountable in the same way the mafia families, terrorist organizations and the Ontario Children's Aid Societies are.

BREAKING DOWN 'Protected Cell Company (PCC)'

A protected cell company operates with two distinct groups: a single core company and an unlimited number of cells. It is governed by a single board of directors, which is responsible for the management of the PCC as a whole. Each cell is managed by a committee or similar group, with authority to the committee being granted by the PCC board of directors. A PCC files a single annual return to regulators, though business and operational plans of each cell may still require individual review and approval by regulators.

Cells within the PCC are formed under the authority of the board of directors, who are typically able to create new cells as business needs arise. The articles of incorporation provide the guidelines that the directors must follow.

The current hierarchical corporate structures that dominate our economies have been in place for over 200 years and were notably supported and defined by Max Weber during the 1800s. Even though Weber was considered a champion of bureaucracy, he understood and articulated the dangers of bureaucratic organisations as stifling, impersonal, formal, protectionist and a threat to individual freedom, equality and cultural vitality.
