Episode 2: The Story of My Children’s Medical Kidnapping by CAS of the Waterloo Region (Ontario)

My baby was misdiagnosed as a victim of child abuse by Dr. Kathleen Nolan from McMaster hospital, while he was acutely sick.

The misdiagnosis lead to 6 months of apprehension by CAS of the Waterloo region and criminal charges against their father, who was the last caretaker alone with our baby son. With covid delays, it took three years to get out day in court where he was fully exonerated of the charges.

Have we been treated as innocent until proven guilty, or in our case until proven innocent? Hell, no. There is no presumption of innocence in medical kidnapping cases.

Episode 3: Medical Kidnapping of a Child with Osteogenesis Imperfecta in British Columbia

Amanda had been a nurse for over a decade when her own daughter, after a traumatic birth, got misdiagnosed as a victim of child abuse and medically kidnapped. It took over a year to get her properly diagnosed with a genetic issue - Osteogenesis Imperfecta (brittle bone disease) - and back to her loving parents.

Why are medical professionals susceptible to medical kidnapping of their children just as much as parents without medical background?

Episode 4: Motherisk Scandal at Sick Kids Hospital and How the Government Failed the Victims

Dr. Gideon Koren ran a forensic laboratory at Sick Kids Hospital from the 1990s. From 2005 to 2015 he used hair-strand drug and alcohol testing on thousands of people. The only problem was that Dr. Koren was not qualified to run a forensic laboratory and the tests he used - and child welfare agencies across Canada paid for and relied on in their proceedings - were unreliable and inadequate. Thousands of families got separated. What is the aftermath and legacy of Motherisk? Is Sick Kids hospital responsible? Do they continue to misdiagnose people and separate families to this day?

Episode 5: Medical Kidnapping of a 2-year-old child at B.C. Children’s

Theo has not left the hospital in his 2-year-life. Despite having two loving parents and three sisters, he had been apprehended by child welfare and not allowed home with his parents.

The reason? His parents disagreed with the treatments B.C. Children's came up with for their son.

While Theo's parents advocate for minimal interventions, are against using unnecessary medications, choose to not vaccinate and would like to follow a protocol to lower their son's tracheostomy pressure and feeding load to see how he would tolerate it, their advocacy and requests have been bulldozed over by the hospital and child welfare without any sensible reasoning.
