Rob Not Bob Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 (edited) Those of you in Ottawa might have read the horrible news about the accident where the 3 year old boy fell out of a 15th floor apartment and died. The parents of the boy, Kevin and Lilas, are friends of mine ... needless to say, they are in pretty bad shape right now. Any good vibes you can send their way would be appreciated.

bradm Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 If you want details (caution: the linked article might be depressing to some), here is an Ottawa Sun article about what happened.I struggle (and ultimately fail) to comprehend what those involved (including the witnesses and people who tried to help) are going through, so just count me in for some {{{{{vibes}}}}}.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 I can't even comprehend their loss. There's something deeply sad about losing any loved one, but a small child has got to be that much harder. I'll be giving my kids extra hugs tonight and be thinking of your friends. My deepest sympathies to all those people connected to this tragedy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 shattering, very very sorry to hear about thisone humble piece of advice would be to think about maybe dropping off some basic staples for them, Rob- I'm sure they're not up to going out anywhere for anything right now. and even asking them in that situation "if there's anything you need" is somewhat meaningless to them, 'though doubtless well intentioned. bread, milk, a simple meal, stuff like thatjust a thought really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Not Bob Posted June 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 To make things even worse, CAS, in their infinite wisdom, have decided to take their other two sons away from them while they investigate. Lilas is devastated. Friends of the parents are organizing a letter writing campaign to get this reversed, but I have to say this is the worst thing they could do at the worst possible time. Kevin and Lilas are good people and very dedicated parents, and this decision is just making this horrific accident even worse. I understand CAS do very important work and have to deal with a lot of evil evil shit, but this and other experiences of them in my periphery (one individual I unfortunately used to know uses as one of his favorite tactics for getting at people he has a falling out with is calling CAS and filing anonymous complaints against them ... the parents have to go through all kinds of hell to keep their kids from being taken away from them, meanwhile this asshole doesn't have to provide any proof at all or take any sort of accountability for himself) often leaves a rather sour taste in my mouth.

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 That's absolutely horrific. I can't imagine anything more devastating, nor any worse way for a gov't agency to react. My heart goes out to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Not Bob Posted June 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 I've sent this as a letter to the CAS ... I hope I managed to keep the anger out.I am writing concerning the situation regarding Kevin Moorecroft and LilasLemay. After the horrible accident involving their son Gawain, taking theirother two children away from them is the worst possible thing to do to thisfamily. I have known Kevin and Lilas for more than 6 years, and know theyare very dedicated parents and wonderful people. I have witnessed firsthandall of the love and attention they have given their children, and thisaction is a terrible thing to do to both the parents and the children at avery traumatic time. I implore you to do the right thing and correct thismistake by returning the children to their parents so they might healtogether.Sincerely,Robert Hammond-Vincent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edger Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Such overwhelming sadness...I hope they can find inner strength, and I hope that their other children are returned home as soon as possible so that they are not traumatized any further.
