Canadian Mom Fakes Son's & Her Deaths; Flees to U.S.
AND: Armed Police Rip Toddler from Irish Mom’s Arms: Give to Father in Malta
Brave Canadian mom Dawn went to extraordinary lengths to protect her son. She faked her son’s and her deaths and fled Saskatchewan to the U.S.
Dawn was captured in Oregon on August 5th after less than two weeks on the run. She is sitting in jail there awaiting extradition back to Canada.
I left Saskatoon because I feared for my safety and that of my son…I was left with no choice. No one heard me...I was motivated out of my immense love for my son.
Dawn said she witnessed something involving her son "that scared me to the core". She did not elaborate but says she will tell what that was after returning to Canada. For that level of fear and concern, and for her to take such drastic measures to protect him, it was likely some form of extreme physical or sexual abuse.
Dawn also says she experienced domestic violence. She reported her son’s and her abuse to the police, CPS and Family Court, but, as usual, they would not substantiate any of it.
I was failed by the Saskatchewan Justice system, the family law system and child protection.
Family Court almost always concludes there is not enough evidence of abuse to protect children from the father. This is despite the fact that only a preponderance (>50%) is needed, and just the child saying s/he’s been abused meets that low burden of proof.
Dawn is indigenous and has many supporters in her community who are rallying behind her and working to free her. They staged a rally last week at their Capitol in Regina.
All she wanted to do was raise her son in peace.
Dawn is charged with identity theft, parental abduction and public mischief. She is facing many years in prison after doing what society and people everywhere expect her to do: protecting her child.
Dawn has been deprived of her son, but even worse, the boy has been deprived of his mother.
HARM OF MATERNAL DEPRIVATION
Children are traumatized by being torn away from their mother. Even if they appear OK on the surface, it doesn’t mean they are. Children often dissociate off the extreme pain of losing his mother, a defense mechanism children commonly use to deal with trauma.
Dissociation is usually harmful long term, causing a variety of physical, mental and emotional symptoms into adulthood if not resolved. The OBN narrative downplays the importance of a mother and MSM rehashes that lie.
The fact is, it is always extremely harmful to children to deprive them of their mother. It is NEVER in the best interests of the children.
LONG ARM OF THE OBN
When fathers unjustly take their children, whether in State or out, there are rarely, if ever, squads of armed police who rip their children from their arms and present them like trophies back to the mother. Yet this is common when mothers justly flee to protect children.
Why is this?
The long arm of the patriarchy extends through an interlinked Old Boy Network in which an alliance of men around the world support men’s age-old power over “their” women and children. This ensures and perpetuates male dominance in the family.
The universal “Best Interests of the Child” doctrine is just empty rhetoric. The power of the father trumps the safety and well-being of children.
MSM
Sask. woman, accused of faking own death, says she had 'no choice' but to flee
The Women’s Coalition is documenting custody cases that involve sexual abuse to support our contention that judges are deliberately disregarding evidence and enabling fathers. If you reported sexual abuse of your child in Family Court, please take a minute to fill out this form. You may do this anonymously.
