An inside look at the 'Millennium Scoop' - Winnipeg Free Press
In a recently released report on Ontario's aboriginal child-welfare system called Children First, John Beaucage coined a new phrase -- the "Millennium Scoop." It refers to the epidemic rates of aboriginal kids currently in CFS care nationwide, while also paying homage to the past.
The '60s scoop -- which occurred from the 1960s to the mid-'80s -- was an era when thousands of aboriginal children were taken into care, some placed in foster care and others adopted outright to non-aboriginal families. The effects were devastating. Many of these kids grew up without an identity and often in less than ideal conditions.

ATTENTION-RECAPTION-Remedies
RECAPTION, remedies.
The act of a person who has been deprived of the custody of another to which he is legally entitled, by which he regains the peaceable custody of such person; or of the owner of personal or real property who has been deprived of his possession, by which he retakes possession, peaceably.
1. In each of these cases the law allows the recaption of the person or of the property, provided he can do so without occasioning a breach of the peace, or an injury to a third person who has not been a party to the wrong. 3 Inst. 134; 2 Rolle, Rep. 55, 6; Id. 208; 2 Rolle, Abr. 565; 3 Bl. Comm. 5; 3 Bouv. Inst. n. 2440, et seq.
2. Recaption may be made of a person, of personal property, of real property; each of these will be separately examined.
3.-1. The right of recaption of a person is confined to a husband in re-taking his wife; a parent, his child, of whom he has the custody; a master, his apprentice and, according to Blackstone, a master, his servant; but this must be limited to a servant who assents to the recaption; in these cases, the party injured may peaceably enter the house of the wrongdoer, without a demand being first made, the outer door being open, and take and carry away the person wrongfully detained. He may also enter peaceably into the house of a person harboring, who was not concerned in the original abduction. 8 Bing. R. 186; S. C. 21 Eng. C. L. Rep. 265.
4.-2. The same principles extend to the right of recaption of personal property. In this sort of recaption, too much care cannot be observed to avoid any personal injury or breach of the peace.
5.-3. In the recaption of real estate the owner may, in the absence of the occupier, break open the outer door of a house and take possession; but if, in regaining his possession, the party be guilty of a forcible entry and breach of the peace, he may be indicted; but the wrongdoer or person who had no right to the possession, cannot sustain any action for such forcible regaining possession merely. 1 Chit. Pr. 646.

Last January, the organization agreed to pay $18 million in restitution and penalties to settle the suit, denying wrongdoing and saying it had made errors “under the complex cost-reporting rules that apply to Y.A.I.’s residential services.” A spokesman last week added that the organization had decided that the settlement would be less costly and disruptive than protracted litigation.

Child Custody – 11 Common False Allegations
Child Custody – 11 Common False Allega - Child Custody Articles - Just another Free Article Finder Sites site - Child Custody Articles
If you thought your custody case was going to be fought on the facts and then you found out that you have been falsely accused of something horrendous, you’re not alone. Find out the most 11 common false allegations made when going through a child custody battle.
You’re probably like most people and think that being accused of something you didn’t do by your ex in an attempt to keep you from spending time with your child is unthinkable. Well think again, because it is actually very common to use this as a diversionary tactic. But what could be worse than being falsely accused, how about being falsely accused of more than one thing.
That’s right, it may not be just a onetime deal. You may be accused of several of these things. Now if you want to know the bright side, preparing yourself by familiarizing yourself with the list is your best defense.
Here are the 11 most common false allegations:
Physical abuse of the child Mental abuse of the child Hitting, spanking, or otherwise doing bodily harm Yelling, profanity, degrading, or otherwise making the child feel badly about themselves (including being with the other parent) Sexual abuse of the child Inappropriate touching, fondling, play or other inappropriate behavior Neglect of the child Leaving the child alone, not caring for the child, leaving the child in an unsafe place Abandonment of the child Taking off without the child, leaving the child without letting some know where you are going or if you will return Physical abuse of the spouse Laying hands or harmful implements on your ex spouse (harmful for custody if in front of the child) Actions leading to a Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DV) Mental abuse of the spouse Yelling, profanity, degrading, or otherwise making the them feel badly about themselves Financial abuse of the spouse Withholding or denying payment of expenses including child support, spousal support, or other agreed payments Drug use Problems with prescription drugs or controlled substances
10.Alcohol
Abuse of liquor, including driving while under the influence
11.Infidelity
Inappropriate relationship with another person that causes problems the child is aware of
Now that you know what you have to look forward to (in a not so good way) here’s a bit of good news. If you meet these challenges head on and prove that they are truly false, you my have recourse to use the false allegation against them. In California false allegations of child abuse can cost the accuser custody.
If you met these challenges head on and can make a good argument that they are false you can flip it and turn the allegation in your favor. It changes the negative allegation into the positive of the ex not being trustworthy. If they would lie about that, what else would they lie about?
The key to proving the allegation is false it simply this. A liar cannot keep a straight story. Since the lie was made to cover one issue, when another rises up the liar won’t be able to remember the details well enough to weave them together. Ask the person investigating the lie to challenge it. For example, if Child Protective Services is called, let them know you are in the middle of a custody battle. This will give them a plausible explanation for the call. Make sure the case mediator knows that CPS was called. They can check the records and find out who called. They are smart people who see this all the time.
