The Lucknow Sentinel, 1979-07-18, Page 12Page 12—Luelmow Sentinel, Wednesday, July 18, 1979 The history of child protection services BY DOROTHY SIMPSON The need for the protection of children was not noticed until the late 1800's. People still believed that a parent had the right to treat a child in any manner they found fit. Although early families did not have the violent tenden- cies felt today, `evidence of abuse was prominant. The concern for the young in Canada was headed by John Kelso of Toronto. He wanted something done about the cruelty, abuse and exploration of children in the late 1800's. The only form of protection the children had was based on the already established animal protec- tion services. The first step the Toronto council took was in the establishment of the Toronto Humane Society. There was great opposition of the inclusion of children in the society because the anim- als would not receive ade- quate protection. The later being the devel- opment of the Toronto Child - rens Aid Society with Mr. Kelso as president. The administration, financing and staffing was carried out by interested citizens as a Christian Duty. The Ontario government's passing of the act Prevention of Cruelty to and Better Protection of Children in 1893 provided for the establishment of the Childrens Aid province wide. Today there are SO Soc- ieties throughout Ontario. They are guided by the Child Welfare Act a much amend- ed version of the 1893 act. The law provides the Child - rens Aid the authority and responsibility to take immed- iate action. If need be they can remove a child immedi- ately to a place of safety. They, must within 24,,hours notify the courts of their actions and the reasons for them. The court gives the society temporary wardship of the child with responsib- ilities for his care. A child in permanent care is made a ward of the crown and the society is delegated to care for him., Parents or legal guardians are entitled to present their arguments but the decision is . up to the Family court Judge. Too often the CAS is seen Historical Society meet at cobblestone house The executive members of the Bruce County Historical Society met at the home of the president and .his• wife, Mr. and Mrs. William A. Collins, on the Shore Road south of Kincardine on Tues- day, July 10 for supper. The wives and husbands were invited and 25 gathered for a pot luck smorgasbord supper of delicious home-made fav- ourite dishes. Members were present from Southampton, Tara, Chesley, Port Elgin, Tiverton, Kincardine, Walk- erton, Teeswater and Luck - now. The style of architecture of the Collins home is worth noting as it is a "cobble- stone" house, built by a Tout family, former owners. Two more houses of the same style are in the hnmediate area": This style of architec- ture is unusual in Bruce. After t supper the group :drove to.nearby Lurgan and held an executive meeting at "Peebles", the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Wildfong of Preston. Their home is the former S. S. No. 1, Huron Township school. They , have transformed the school into a cosy home without actually changing the school in any degree. Interesting relics of its schooldays, such as black- boards, a ^few old school desks and the teacher's bell, have been preserved. The schoolyardia nay -a -Well -kept lawn surrounded by a rail fence and a thick grove of .lovely old trees. The school and its surroundings is a fine example of how old buildings can be preserved and at the 'same time be of use. • John Reynolds Jr. of Port Elgin gave a report on his progress, as Historic Mark- ers chairman, with the plaque to be erected on the Dahmer farm at Millarton on the Durham Road. In the 1866 Fenian Raid scare, Major William Daniels resid- • ed on this farm, and trained local farmers as soldiers_in the front] field beside the •road. The small, garage -siz- ed building is still standing where these men kept their uniforms and guns. John has prepared an informative bro- chure with six pictures to illustrate it, to distribute •to people who are concerned with preserving Bruce Coun- ty's historic" sites and build- ings. Donations are being sought to help finance the erection. of this plaque. The summer bus trip is scheduled for Thursday, July 19 with a visit to the new Agricultural Museum at Mil- ton and the Halton_ County.*,, Museum. Each person is asked to bring his or her own box lunch for the noon meal, and supper will be eaten at a restaurant. If you are inter- ested in coming on this trip to see how the former CKNX, Wingham, .farm broadcaster, Bob Carbert, has organized this agricultural museum, please contact your local society representative. The 1979 Society Year Book is on sale in stores throughout the county. A list of the Society representativ- es may be .found on page 5. These Year Books make ex- cellen,t little gifts from Bruce When you go visiting friends and relatives on your holi- days as having the purpose of removing children from their homes. Actually the workers try to keep families intact and resolve the . difficulties leading up to the problem. All Childresn Aids have emergency services 24 hours .a day, seven days a week. They rely on consistant co- operation, support and lead- ership of professionals and the community in general. With time being a problem they have came to count on the support of many ,volun- teers to assist in the care of the childen in wardship. The CAS is caring for many children within your own community. They are helping rebuild broken homes so that the children don't suffer. In some cases they seem like the villain but is most cases they're just the childrens legal friend.
