I need to find out why one of the Children's Aid Society workers in York Region has not been investigated. I saw first hand what happened in Elizabeth Sauve's home in Beeton. I am so angry how well you people in the Social Work area are ignoring Elizabeth's plight. And now as a Mother and Grandmother I am going to do my best to make you see the truth.
I am disgusted over how much Elizabeth has been ignored after the countless complaints she has made about the authorities behaviour. I witnessed her bringing it up to the police many times while I was staying at her home. C.A.S. has done nothing for her or her children. All they have succeeded in doing is tearing a family of four apart. Elizabeth has been told on many occasions by C.A.S. that she can do nothing about her situation; because after all it is only 'her' fighting this battle.
I am here to lodge some valid complaints against a C.A.S. worker for her misdeeds. Pamela Stiver lives in Bonhead and works, I understand, in York Region as a respected senior employee of the C.A.S. She is in a position to mentor others. She completely has ignored her own professional ethics and duty in my daughter's case. I am disgusted to see what this person has done and continues to do. She has used her position to wrongfully entrap Elizabeth and to remove her children from their home and Liz from her home through her son. She helped her son Matthew Stiver take Elizabeth's deed to her home that she paid for herself away from her. Then, she helped him literally push Elizabeth out of her own home into the streets. Matthew Stiver now lives at my daughter's home at 19 McGinty Court, in Beeton, Ontario and works for Powerline Plus.
When I was visiting my daughter's home at 19 McGinty Crescent, in Beeton, Ontario between May 5 and June 4 of 2010 a number of odd occurrences transpired. Police officer, Lisa Morgan came to the house to see my daughter Elizabeth Sauve. She stated that "she was behind my daughter 100%". She told Elizabeth that the children should remain with her. She also stated that all the allegations of violence and abuse were completely unfounded and that Elizabeth would have all three of her girls back within a month.
I found out that Pam Stiver trained and mentored Elizabeth's social worker Michelle Borsonneault. It would seem that there is and was a definite conflict of interest there. Michelle knew about Pam's relationship to Elizabeth's youngest little girl, Autumn. Her son, Matt, is the father of my youngest grandchild.
Officer Lisa Morgan took the children out of their home without a Children's Aide Society representative being there. It seems they don't even follow their own policies. Michelle Borsonneault did not show up for three days after the children were taken. On the fourth day, my daughter was served a subpoena. I find it absolutely ludicrous that the more my daughter, Elizabeth Sauve, has asked for assistance during the last 5 years; the more she has been ignored and disrespected by the system. The more she has needed help from the police or her social worker; the more problems the system has put in her way. All she has ever wanted is to have her family returned to her.
I cannot understand why people could not see the abuse that was being piled on her by Pam Stiver her "mother-in-law" and her common- law husband Matt Stiver. Never has that woman or her son been straight, kind or fair with Elizabeth. If they seemed to be it was always with ulterior
motives. Instead they leave a woman begging for the help that is due her. The one time I was told I would be able to see Autumn, Matt would not let me and just drove away with her. Pam and Matt have kept all three children away from their true mother and only real parent as much as possible.
Autumn was used by Matt as a bargaining chip. He would let Elizabeth have time with Autumn; if she would have sex with him. It was abusive sexual intimacy. This was after the physical, emotional, and financial abuse had already started. He would pick Elizabeth up at night; so I would not find out just how horrific his behaviour was towards her. What I find shocking and unacceptable about police officer, Lisa Morgan's attitude is this. Lisa Morgan said she saw definite signs of abuse and alienation shown towards Elizabeth and did not do a thing about it. All she did was pass Elizabeth her business card, said "good luck" to her, and left my daughter in tears.
I have also been told something else which I believe 100% after the things I have witnessed. It is really important to get Pam Stiver out of her position in the C.A.S. and brought to justice. It is imperative to stop her abuse of the system and messing with the blind faith given to her by her associates and the society who depends on her. Pamela and Danny Stiver, covered up the fact that when Liz and Matt lived in Cookstown, Matt pulled a gun and pointed it at my daughter's face very close to her head. His father, Danny took the gun away. Pam also used her place as head of the York Region Children's Aid Society to lock my daughter in fear and constant worry for the safety of her children and herself. Pamela Stiver had two rules that Elizabeth had to follow if she was to have Autumn in her life. 1. Elizabeth could not talk to police without Pam's presence. 2. Liz had no say in where they took the girls. On more than one occasion Pam would hold Elizabeth down during "talk sessions" consisting of threatening her in a screaming voice. Pamela would say that she would get Elizabeth's children adopted out and that she would never see them again. When the police came to 'help' Elizabeth, Matt would take her forcibly on a drive. I am sure that these 'drives' included Matt forcing abusive sex on her. Pam would talk to the police when they came to the house. The neighbours heard Elizabeth screaming; because Matt was hurting her and so they were the ones that would call the police.
In my eyes, this is not a joke. I am asking my friends to put out the word on this situation. To make known, the way the system has allowed my daughter Elizabeth to be mistreated and wrongly punished. Pamela and her son Matt have made my daughter a prisoner in her own life. Something must be done about the disgusting way in which Pamela, Matt, Michelle Borsonneault her social worker, and yes, even Lisa Morgan the police person have behaved. My daughter, is now living in the basement of a friend's home. with very little income and not much support, in Owen Sound. It seems to me that the wrong person has been mistreated.
Don't you think as I do...that the people who are supposed to protect and serve us should conduct themselves in a moral, legal, manner and do their job well? Pamela was not a part of County of Simcoe Children Aide Society where Beeton is located, so she should not have been recognized as a member of that organization by anyone in Simcoe County. I must say, just for clarity, that she worked for York Region C.A.S.; when all the abuse of my daughter was going on. Abuse for which; I must state again, Pam and her son are responsible.
It seems to me that the police, a social worker, and C.A.S. workers aided in the abuse knowingly or unknowingly that Elizabeth's common- law-husband Matt Stiver, his mother Pamela Stiver, and the questionable justice system have heaped upon her and her daughters. I also believe that Pamela has deviously conspired with Emily's and April's fraternal grandparents; so that the two older children somehow were placed with Shelia and Richard Christopher Van der Ster. They are the parents of Liz's abusive, alcoholic ex-husband. The only reason that I can see that the wheels of justice are not rolling her way is Elizabeth's lack of money. The reason she has none is clear to me; Matt took it from her. Pam encouraged her son to be abusive and to con Elizabeth's property and money away from her so she could see the children. The money she got from a settlement for an car accident. She got injured in a park where the vehicle, a taxi with a drunk driver, came towards Liz, her children and a female friend. She got injured while defending her children from the moving vehicle. The Stivers promised her that she would have her children back in no time. They lied and cheated her out of a life that she had planned for herself and her girls.
Is it any wonder that a person would show distress in this situation? They sight her as having depression. Well surprise surprise! I believe they were the cause of any depression my daughter has had since she first met Matt. She is doing amazingly well considering the things she has and is going through. I taught my daughter that she could trust the police, the justice system and the legal system. However she has got no justice of any kind. She had the systems that were put there to defend the innocent; rip her children away from her. Elizabeth's three girls are not going to be with their Mom for Christmas yet another year. That is the sad legacy of the systems in the County of Simcoe and York Region.
