The Foundation was established on April 4, 2023, in the midst of what became known as the \u201cSuperdad of St. Catharines\u201d scandal [MORE<\/a>]<\/span> — a highly publicized and politicized court battle that exposed corruption and negligence at the highest levels of police, child protection, and judicial authorities.<\/p>\n

Two young girls were forced to flee Canada, escaping ongoing physical and sexual abuse at the hands of their mother’s boyfriend.\u00a0 The police, despite being presented with ample evidence, did nothing.\u00a0 Child protection services turned their back on them.\u00a0 The court sentenced them to more abuse.\u00a0 Their father — known as \u201cSuperdad\u201d — maliciously prosecuted after helping them get to safety.<\/p>\n

The Foundation mobilized fast, organizing volunteers, launching media campaigns, putting pressure on lawmakers, gathering evidence, formulating strategies, and gathering tens of thousands of signatures demanding the firing of corrupt officials.\u00a0 International attention was brought to the failed Canadian justice system, not only in Canada (from coast to coast to coast) but in Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Croatia, Poland, the United States, and other countries around the world who love their children.\u00a0 The case is presently stalled in the courts [HERE<\/a>]<\/span>.\u00a0 The police, child protection authorities, and others are simply too embarrassed to face the public.<\/p>\n

The case of Superdad is not an isolated incident, it is not a one off, it is the norm, and the government’s own statistics show it.\u00a0 One in three girls experience sexual abuse or sexual assault before adulthood.\u00a0 Only six percent of sexual assaults are ever reported to police.\u00a0 Of those few that are reported, only twelve percent result in a criminal conviction.\u00a0 Only twenty-one percent of police-reported sexual assaults actually make it to court.\u00a0 And of those, only 43% result in a finding of guilt.\u00a0 Less than half of those convicted receive a custodial sentence.\u00a0 Those that do will, on average, serve eight months or less.<\/p>\n

Canada is simply not a safe place for children — it is lost.<\/p>\n

The bottom line is that Canadian authorities are complicit in the sexual abuse of children, and the game is always the same: let it happen, send in the police to instill fear and ‘persuade’ victims not to report, deploy child welfare agents to take the child, blame the parent, exclude the family, ignore the evidence, control the narrative.\u00a0 Silence dissent, re-victimize the victims, hunt down anyone who refuses to obey, and cover it all up.<\/p>\n

While working in support of Superdad and his girls, the Foundation connected with dozens of other superdads, supermoms, supergrannies, and even two super-gay-neighbours, all of whom had taken a stand and given up everything for the safety of children.\u00a0 All of whom had lost faith in the police, the children’s aid, the courts, and all of whom had no choice but to flee Canada for safety abroad.<\/p>\n

Today, the Foundation is working harder than ever to push it’s key message: “there is nothing more important than the safety and security of our children.”\u00a0 The Foundation monitors ongoing cases, provides intelligence and consultative support, publicly advocates for change, and publishes information.<\/p>\n

It is difficult to measure the impact the Foundation has had on this issue as it tends to work behind the scenes, and is often overlooked or discarded by officials; however, an Ontario magistrate ordered that an early incarnation of this website be shut down, and a family court judge ordered the Foundation to change from its original name.\u00a0 This, to us, means the Foundation is somehow feared — and maybe it should be.<\/p>\n

In present day, the Foundation is working on several key projects:<\/p>\n
