To whom it may concern: Hello Queens Park Unfortunately what I have to share today is of a serious nature and not of the sort I choose to comunicate with or through. These are the areas that I hear you are famous for so please try to focus on them or any point you feel best suited for that you may desperse with most easily. The Hostel Services failures you may read at, Mr. Peter Kormos, • Human Rights • Justice • Corrections My greatest area of concern today is Human Rights. Mine and those of many others around me have been so horibly and openly violated this year that I can see no other viable choice of the courts other than detention to curtail these activities. These violations mainly occur from points of social reception such as comunity and social services, health and police services, but also i public by private citizens. In many or those instances as well however, the responding officers did not stay within procedure or handle the situations properly at all. Positions themselves failing in Social Service causing starvation, suffering, and severe injury, police services total lack of understanding of how crimes against peoples human rights cause suffering on a large scale and other crimes flourish in the mess that these violations cause. Medical services inability to understand how procedure enables better service, and that better service and time management allow for the same. "A stitch in time" as they say. Proper administration of course is not complimentary but required, there is no room for failure. Perfection is not what I am speaking of, there is no excuse for the health system or any other to be or ever have been running in the state of shambles I have seen it in, and more importantly, no excuse for the repeated Human Rights abuses that I witnessed and horrible rude mistreatments of patients that I have seen. I relate these in a close to mirrored and literaly studied way with very old movies that depict only in the past tence the idea of horrible iscolated clinics and scandals of connected and preventable failings of discrace such as these costly crimes. There is no reason with what is available to us now that these repeated failings should ever occur. People listen too ofen to whatever a supposed authority or superior tells them or sais to do, even if its wrong, and these errors multiply. Soon enough if a person is injured and no one did the right thing they are a liar, provided it can be ascertained no one will listen anyway. The police will through a crippled person out in the street injuring them, threatening arrest if they do not stop their attempts at explanation of how they were violated, even if they are violated in front of the police. A disabled person unable to move enough to clean apperently is not worth listening to a person in white that throws them around, verbaly or physicaly it does not mater, there is no right, and this is all aimed at "Get away from me" ( they think their rights are different), I know I was wrong" (couldn't lie any more), "you think I have to let you say that!" (the truth), "you think they'll listen to you!". Anything to make sure no fingers point to them. If they can control the conversation and visable interaction, altering what happened sutly or hugely to fit a story book guide, than it is statisticaly true for them so far that the get away with the crime. People don't do their job properly to see what happened, they must be held accountable. I know what procedure is and if I don't see it happen it doesn't take any time to see why the reports say that nothing occured or that it occured differently. It's because people right what they want not what happened and they skip their job for lunch and think of something else. Isn't it more iportant to finish each task properly? Mr. Martin, • Disabilities Being disabled so severely physicaly has made this year torture. the pain is only visable to some, and most not acustomed to it would sream in agony and cry. They would never accept the treatment I recieved. Anyone who has ever spoken with a doctor who does their job the way they should can tell when it is not happening, and i know my medical information. The doctors i have seen might as well have looked at a wall after checking momentarily a veterinarians file for someones very well cared for and protected pet. I know what these people should have emediately discovered, and how they should have proceded but didn't, no matter what the case had been. I cannot often reach my mouth to brush my teeth properly, I cannot eat without supporting my elbows on a table and that hurts them, alst it should be elevated and fitted for proper angles. I cannot reach my hair to detangle it or wash properly or use a shower withought severe pain if I don't have a seat. The seat should be to specifics because slight angle diferences can be very painful and cause lasting harm. I use can't use a phone without severe pain occuring and must achieve bizaar positions to compensate. I feel like an athlete doing this but i know i have no mobility or strength and look like a freak or cripple. I am crippled. My ability to speak goes in and out according to how my back is. One joint stresses another untill they are all gone or my musles cannot hold my back in place and I cannot talk. People look at me like I don't wash but i can't move because I was violently thrashed and now its no one's job to help me even though i could function so much better if I just had a proper chair. There is no excuse for what this will cost now that I have suffered so long without when I qualified. My hands can not write because of pain from injuries. It is my knees, back, hips and other joints that really bother me most. Due to the systems failure of simple tasks in front of desks of reception, I was denied my right to basic necesities like as food after not being able to move. Who could I call then I could not pick up a phone. If I tried to report a crime I was threatened by a trouble maker and I could not afford to be moved away from a phone physicaly, that would hurt too much so I left. I was nearly lynche, by officers in uniform, they would only throw me in a caar but they had no right, I was so badly injured that even touching me would hurt for days, and they started to drag me off for saying I was right when I was. They just assaulted me for pointing out the truth, that was an offence to them. With no food, unable to use a phone, violated, there was hardly the option of survival, all of this due to social system failures of varried position. I cite mainly administration. Living wher the conditions were aproaching those in the third world, I could not get a simple health inspection. Hundreds became violently ill. Perisites spread. Diets were not corrected, so no one had regular energy levels. and the improper treatment did not change because I can not write because of pain and do not have a phone. Lying about crimes is easier if someone can't talk or access a desk. I can not get a disabled door open, the buttons are to hard to push. The transit won't stop long enough for me to get on or off. I can't speak to tell them to wait because I can't talk when I use the musles I need to use then. Just sitting on the transit is dangerously streneous. Please help. Mrs. Martel, • Children & Youth • Community and Social Services It is of the gravest concern that the periods I spent within the hostels mentioned at my site, http://www.geocities.com/curefx/ink/zletters.com , be emediately accessed. These examples of crimes against youth and children are a simple way to express the emediate need for change. We don't need new laws, we need these criminals stopped and these offences against our Countries children and youth made known while these offenders in administration, who don't even respect the law themselves, let alone properly administer a facility intended to help fragile and young people where crimes against these people are so commenly commit by the staff. If you find any one day without incident, or any incident I logged , where the final report reads there was no offence commit by the staff, let me rewind the tape and point the innitial violation. These crimes the staff commit that they choose to lie about, are the root cause of such intence suffering, that many do not wish to live any longer after words. What occured because of this? A loss of hope. How is there any chance in the world of any truth after forced starvation, and horific Human Rights Abuses of descrimination occur on camera in front of supposed offitials and nothing is done. There is no food for weeks at a time. The system is full of these offences and then youth are treated as if those who are starving them are giving them something and they should owe them. Realy they are violating them while being paid with Canadian Citizens funds. They get more as criminals then their victims get as diligent and prime examples of ethical citizens, working for zero pay or recognition to help a failing system, and any unfortunate children or others who may fall defenceless into it. This while people who qualify for basic needs are deprived because "facilities" will not admit to their failings and "administration" will not accept theirs. It is more than one persons job to ensure that this never happens, and to stop it when it does and these positions have totaly failed. I spoke of this as a child, ten years ago, six years ago, and all of the paast year, and having studied law, it was a failure everytime arrests were not made of the staff of these facilities emediately after these crimes. Let me show you my latest partial edit. Keep in mind that this is not anywhere near the severity I have witnessed and reported, where even if the crimes were in view of the police nothing was done, and remember, if these incompetent, criminal employees were not in those positions, people of confidence are willing to take over and do the jobs that are supposed to be done. People of concience often will not work where their "co-workers" violate people when they have a chance. It is criminaly neglegent to be aware of what is occuring in these faciities and not put a stop to it. This is my latest draft: "To Whom it May Concern, Notes: Fluff Respect was not shown physicaly, verbaly, or spacialy and must be. The residents Human Rights were violated in these areas, and there were open refusals to curtail these criminal actions. The management and those who oversee these failing facilities have failed to ensure that they operate witin the required norm. I am pressing charges. Residents should never be penalised when incidents or situations outside of their active control cause tardiness or other occurances. A proper approach is to be maintained, and is always manditory, when comunicating with the residents. These standards are govorned bt Canadian Law. Allowances for a timely explanation of any such concern of importance were provided on many occasions to the staff and dis-allowed in favor of violating the law and residents such as myself further. It is an important fact to note that proper time periods were not permited to the residents for explanation of issues of importance, if any oportunity was granted at all. Also, information that should have remained entirely private was forced publicly, under the false guise of policy, and commit to illegal record, where none should be kept. This is a serious offence and a dangerous abuse of the residents Rights, not only causing harm in act, but later suffering also. This I have witnessed. These areas of human freedom, are not to be trod apon in any instancer, no matter what the circumstance, and this has been a regular occurance at the shelter. If there is a matter of importance or a happening of concern to a resident, within normal guide lines, then matters of curfew and meal time must always be flexible for there are Human Rights to be respected in those areas. There were many unjust implifications and improper or false reasons for consequence and punishment at the shelter, also, many people were forced into hunger and to sleep withought proper bedding. There were conditions present in many areas that are serious Canadian Health and Safety Violations. Peoples basic survival as well as personal needs should be met and no one should have to spend their personal needs entitlement on food or necesary transportation gaurenteed by the Canadian Govornment such as Police Service needs, any other legal need, or gauranted right of necesity. These basic needs have not only been outright denied, but illegal pressures have been forcibly imposed to pry criminaly into the private lives of the residents, and as it concerns me in the most grave fashon, into fragile personal teritory, outside of protection, where information of a sensitive nature has been forced openly from a fragile person of need, and from an area no one has any right to force discussion. This has occured and is commenly forced in front of other residents and members of the public. Sensitive information of this nature taken from residents who have been put on the spot when in need is intolerable, and in instances of emergency where they or another could have suffered extensive, immesurable damages should they not have recieved emergency care and transportation that they did not recieve. Halting these occurances is a must. The staff who have violated these residents are in no way qualified to handle information of this type. There is not a reason to ask information of this sort from a person under any circumstance from such a position, a doctors note at some time in the future will always suffice. To demand this type of information of a person in public, with blatent evidence and admission at hand that it will be handled illegaly and not profetionaly, is a serious crime, especialy with claims of authority and qualification to do so. Personal information should through no method, action, or error, ever be made public or forced from the hands of another, or put in those of any unqualified individual. Created by this also, are damages exterior to the clients that are not to be ignored, that must be spoken to and compensated for, where serious matters were adversely effected such as police work, and other peoples lives. When people outstep the boundaries of law damage is done to the comunity. Freedoms govorned by Article 25, of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, such as that to the stable right to a proper and balanced nutritional diet, and to be free from discrimination of any kind, have been severely violated. I am a strict vegetarian, and due to the uncontienable complete lack of vegetable protien, and by times, any food at all that did not contain animal products, I starved painfuly and severly in an unallowable way, helpless to deter the staff from forcing people to eat meat when not their choice. Hunger is hard to ignore in the fifth day, as the months progress, it very difficult to maintian life physicaly, and definately, the lack of allowable food within regular dietary limits, is a danger to the residents health safety and a cruel punishment where none should occur. It is commen that with vegetarian food in sight, a person is not allowed to eat it knowing it will help stop the tortuous pains of starvation, because their not "special" and should eat "normal". The severely unbalanced meals, with those unallowable, or innedible (due to the physical lack of needed components of the digestive processs), combined with misconduct, and violations of the Health and Safety Standards, contributed to emergencies out of my control. It is intolerable to see young people in tears forced to eat what they believe is wrong and being forced to suffer further if they ask again for their right to "cruelty free food" that is also much healthier. Vegetarians have been proven to live longer than omnivores. A suposedly healthy omnivorous diet in comparison to vegetarianism, is more harmful on average than smoking compared with not smoking. Approximately ten years saved on average compared to seven. Not that the diet of the omniverous variety was within Canadian Food Guide Limits. Positions of authority are not permited, and it is a crime, written in Canadian Law, to state needs guarenteed to be covered separately from personal needs, as the purpose of said entitlements that are meant for important personal items such as food, clothing, necesary transportation and sanitary items such as soap towels or face cloth, as the purpose of such, and drawing the personal use of such funds during debate is a crime. Social use of Personal Entitlements is more than permisable it is expected, and these choices are of a private nature. No act of labour is permited to be forced as punishment where it is recognisable as an infliction and not a positive, constructive contribution. For egsample, forcing the disabled to labour, forcing tasks in a demeaning, derogatory or negative way wether this infliction be delivered through wrongful tone, speech, aproach, gesture, or address. This crime is more severe and dangerous when dealt as a punishment of the right, proper, or legal action or any other occurance within the rights of, or outside the control of, the private individual. These acts are punishable with stiff sentences, large fines, forced compensation, and this is especialy and increasingly the case where the damage is clearly and fully expressed to the court. Negative tone as punishment where none is due is also punishable with stiff and long term sentences, expressly guided by scales marking the severity of negative impact, and corrective time needed, as are many actions present throughout our Social Justice System. Subversive treatment is unfortunately a mainstay prevalent through the Hostel System and repeated attemps at subversion have been made by the staff of Youth Without Shelter. The residents would not be without shelter if these crimes against them were dealt with properly and emediately. This for their protection. There are standards of conduct and requirements that are made of all facilities that open their doors as public housing facilities throughout the system, and there are specifics that apply with regards to the housing of youth or children that are to be strictly and always adheard to. Any violation of the basic standards is a serious offence and the offender must be assesed by the courts to see which form of rehabilitation may be appropriate and how to compensate the victims for their losses. Also the violations of commen occurance are of a Human Rights nature in many cases, and people young and old who have commit no offence at all are being forced into starvation where they should have been fed, while having no access to clean facilities, or any direction to them, this with violent harrasment should any person want to eat properly after days of forced starvation and mistreatment, in the said substandard facility, withought proper bedding, outside of Health and Safety Standards, without proper access to entitled basic needs as Canadian Law dictates. Leaving so many without access to proper nourishment with unbalanced systems lacking most of what composes a properly balanced and nutritional diet, and leaving them unable to function creates a dangerous situation. Many people are lost to hunger this way yearly, not only are people losing their temper, but many having not been able to function at a normal capacity or even close to one do to forced deprivation of the main and necesary dietary components, become fatigued, prone to danger, severely depressed, and even suicidal. It has been proven that this will not happen if basic needs are provided, and their is not an abusive barrier between the people and basic necesities of life such as proper food and water. It is accepted and proven, you can ask doctors and medical scientists that run the tests, that many of the youth lost to accidental death or suicide a leading cause of death in our country especialy of youth, have been in deep stages of starvation and food deprivation. These are cases of forced starvation, and discrimination against them was prevalent in positions of power. It is evident that these people had been trying to locate their "entitled" dietary needs but have not been permitted them, and from the very source supposed to provide them. Easily provable also, is that even with food in their stomach every meal, after these horrible torments and discriminatory violations, it can take days and even weeks to recover to a point of nearing some comparison to regular sustinance and health on what is concidered a healthy and balanced dietary meal for a person eating properly or even a proper meal. It can take years for a body to recover adequately from starvation. For monthes any discrepency in the fragile balance can through a body into physiological upheaval. After said forced starvation even waiting short periods for a meal can be excruciating, after having not eaten proper consecutive meals or what is supposed to pass for them, as the body uses needed nutrients emediately. Any delay in dietary administration causes painful physical and neural dysfunction. Teenagers lost to forced starvation in front of multiple witnesses while the inflictions of cruel and unjust punishment of their right actions, or abusive treatments of no definable cause at all, but still criminaly neglegent actions that can be responcible for actual death of minors. In many cases from the verbal interaction, these individuals can be found to have taunted and abused the victims for years or even their entire lives while transmiting or transfering information illegaly that though not factual and irrelevent, equaled power and control adversly effecting them while the mountain of lies piled higher, misleading any that came to help while these minors were forcibly kept in squalor, and blamed for it too. Though competent to head their own lives they were unable to escape abuse. All persons have a right to cleanliness, food, shelter and clothing. If incident's do not permit individuals to match a basic scheduel, allowances must be made and all persons have a full right to privacy regarding personal or medical matters, this should be obvious, and these rights should never be violated. Any person in an emmergency situation has many obvious rights and youth at YWS were having these rights violated regularly. They were forced into uncomfortable situations having to share personal matters in front of others, with no privacy at all. These agressors were not qualified and had no right to such perverse abuse anyway. Not only for an emergency transit fare, but for a place to exist at all. These types of commen and painful violations where a criminal in authority holds food, shelter, or transportation out of reach unless people submit, in these instances minors had to submit information of a private nature, counter contextualy, with any importance such as medical need or other such as family emergency held out of reach. Existance barely while others perished or were killed.and none of this is forgivable. There can be loss of life attributed to such violations of children, youth or any one by such an unskilled and unqualified persistance of crime against fragile boundries, while extracting information that they are not qualified to handle profetionaly at all and that they spread neglegently often with falsity, if w3hat they spread isn't entirely false. The illegal application of pressure I often observed obtains information that is not addmisable as evidence as the traumatic acts of abuse bring about many different painful reactions. The only admisable text is that of the primary offence. Without a legal and properly obtained warrent, on paper, explained properly and within proper legal boundries, there is no position of formal right or any other that allows in any instance the sort of repetative violations of space and person I witnessed at the above mentioned shelter and many others. Any afore mentioned required absence can be easily substantiated at a time of convinience in the future that the resident is free from the pressure or trauma of the moment such as in the case of a family emergency. There were youth forced to divulge detailes to people that abused them they should never have had to speak. There is no recovery of such a violation. Honestly, x Mrs. Rosario Marchese • Housing I encountered such great difficulty finding adequate housing I have almost given up. It seems no one even keeps a registry. It feels all privately run, not in order of law, but by how you make under the table deals. People advertise illegaly right in the paper. I can understand how if a person has had unfortunate experiences with a particular sex then that can warrent an advertisement reading girls only, but how can people print "no wellfare" in the paper repeatedly. That is discrimination, all such people should be charged emediately. The topic should not come up. Also too many landlords do not chose tenents legaly. they violate people openly on the phone. I can't find housing anyway. I can design it. Large, small, anything you wan't. Interior, exterior, spa, hostel i know how to administrate and what the law is too so I know the economics. If you vioate people you make less, unless you realy steal a lot. If any of these areas were operating normaly we would not halve half of the problem that we do. Please write me so I can respond specificaly, I will try to give better specifics and summeries but I am in too much pain, and with it all on video, I could sort it more quickly tapping my nails. I mean that literaly. Thanks for listening and please, I need your responsive actions. With Urgence x |
