The top 5 list shocking things people dont know about the CAS: The CAS is not a government agency, but a private non-profit charity like a church. The 53 CAS offices in Ontario have no centralized control, but are independently owned and operated like privately owned bowling alleys in different cities. When they kidnap your kids, there is no higher authority you can appeal to than the local CAS chairman and his small group ofboard members. Section 15 of the Child and Family Services Act, empowers each local CAS board to act as both judge and jury over how your raise your kids and can legally kidnap them, whenever they want, often based upon the personal judgments of a single individual CAS worker. There is no independent outside oversight, no CAS watchdog, No CAS ombudsman, no Cabinet Minister that you can contact. They can do whatever they want and you are totally powerless, unless you resort to legal action. Even if you win in court, CAS routinely defies court orders to return children when they disagree with the judge! This is why many Ontario lawyers refer to the CAS as The Gestapo; a law unto themselves. There are major, critical differences in policy between each of 53 CAS offices in Ontario. Remember each CAS office is legally independent of the other, so in fact, they have 53 different policies, across the Province! This is an outrage! There is no uniformity or consistency with issues involving our children, in two neighboring cities.
