Child Abuse Investigation Policies Revamped In Winnipeg

from the false-accusations dept.
False Accusations The Winnipeg, Canada Child and Family Services office has undergone dramatic changes in the way child abuse accusations are investigated, with most of the changes helping to reveal those who were falsely accused. The National Post story can be read here. Most importantly, the accused person is now interviewed by the social workers, where previously he could not even tell his own side of the story. "The policy of interviewing accused persons is one 'every father and grandparent who has ever been accused has prayed for,' says Ms. Malenfant. 'These changes are fantastic. I used to be the most vocal critic of Winnipeg's child welfare system, but I believe it's the best in the country right now.'"

What can I say? Yahoo! Yippee! Someone buy me a fur coat, a Mouton wedge, and a balaclava... I'm moving to Winnipeg!

I sit here dumbfounded that somewhere in Canada / U.S.A. / England / Australia, a judge got together with a social work agency and finally got their collective heads out of their collective asses. Absolutely amazing.

(No, I don't believe that the whole system is suddenly perfect, but in these times this is an astounding development.)
