ST. THOMAS, Ont., March 27, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Lawyers for the Christian families terrorized by St. Thomas and Elgin Children’s Aid vow to appeal the decision of Madam Justice Eleanor Schnall, saying it gives too much power to social workers. In spite of the clear evidence that the children are happier and healthier than most these days, the judge slapped six-months’ probation on the parents, giving social workers unannounced access to the family’s home and prohibiting physical discipline of the seven children, aged between 8 and 16. Effectively, Schnall has stripped parents of any protection against overzealous and inexperienced social workers.
