On July 23, 2025, I received an official disclosure package from Child and Family Services of Grand Erie. Along with it came a strict warning: I am not allowed to post or share any documents, images, audio, or video from the disclosure — even though this material directly impacts my life, my child’s safety, and the justice I’ve been fighting for.
Let me be absolutely clear:
✅ I will not be publishing confidential records.
✅ I will respect the legal boundaries of disclosure.
✅ But I will not be silenced.
What I can do — and what I will continue to do — is speak the truth about what happened to me and my child.
I will speak about the harm we’ve suffered.
I will speak about what I’ve witnessed and lived.
I will speak about the systems that failed us — and the people still trying to keep me quiet.
I have the Charter-protected right to speak out, to raise awareness, and to advocate for reform. These rights do not disappear just because I’m a mother fighting for her child. In fact, that makes them all the more vital.

Have you been silenced, too?
If you’ve ever been ignored, dismissed, or threatened by family services, the courts, or police — I want to hear your story. You can stay anonymous if you need to. I’m collecting stories to show this is not just about one mother — it’s about a pattern.

Thank you to everyone who continues to stand with me. Your support gives me the strength to keep going.
