An Interview with Rev. Jacob, President, Child Protect Canada Inc.
Winnipeg, December 27, 2005
Who are you?
Started in 2002, we are an organization that brings awareness to the political and health arenas about ongoing cases of child abuse. We have documented evidence of children continuing to be abused in spite of safeguards already in place. We want to help those children now, while they are still alive. We believe that every child is like a whole universe. We need to act as if a child's life depends on us.
Why should we do this?
There appears to be no accountability. There are many decisions made by protection agencies that put children into harm's way and keeps them there. When questioned, people in position of trust often say, "It's a private matter". We believe that "It's a private matter" is not a reason to kill children.
Where do you operate?
We will operate across Canada and around the world. Right now we are active in Winnipeg and Toronto.
What do you want to do?
We bring awareness to the political and health arenas to act as if a child's life depends on us. We want to set up a commission to investigate why children are left in situations of abuse for so long, when there are already safeguards in place. We have many documented examples and those children continue to suffer while the rest of us stand by. Some of them will die before any action is taken.
We want politicians to promise that when elected, they will set up a judicial inquiry with full power to subpoena and lay charges. Putting children into harms way is a crime against humanity issue. And under our own Canadian Charter of Rights children have a right to be protected from the crimes of child abuse of any kind.
How do you plan to do all this? On the political level, we plan to have politicians make a promise under a "promise is a promise" campaign so that parliament and provincial legislatures should act to bring changes that save children's lives. We are not a protection agency. We want to bring accountability to those agencies.
On the promotional level, we are in the process of setting up a web site, and have our first newsletter ready to go out in January 2007. We also have a national net work of concerned community leaders and private individuals to take up the job of raising awareness.
What would you be able to do if a particular new case came to your attention?
We would bring awareness to those responsible through immediate contact, while protecting the privacy of the child's identity. |
