I WORRY ABOUT DEBBIE

 
Debbie is my youngest sister.
 
 
 
To the rest of the world - 
If anyone ever sees her -
She would appear as an old hippy,
 
But in my mind,
Debbie is always my baby sister,
The sweetest child anyone could imagine.
 
Then Ed McSweeney entered Debbie's life -
And we lost her,
 
Then Dawn McSweeney was born.
 
We could not have imagined
That Debbie's pretty child
Would destroy our family -
Rob us and tear us apart.
 
Then somewhere in the mix -
Ed McSweeney disappeared -
 
And
 
Kenneth Greoire Prud'homme appeared
 
 
At
My mother's burial !
 
 
Thousands of people all over the world
Are reading about
 
DAWN MCSWEENEY
AND
HER PARTNERS IN CRIME
 
And so I fight on,
Day and night -
 
For justice -
 
For myself,
For my siblings,
Including Debbie, 
And for the grandchildren,
Who were all robbed by
Dawn McSweeney
And her partners in cirme.
 
THERE WILL BE NO PEACE WITHOUT JUSTICE
THERE CAN BE NO JUSTICE WITHOUT RESPONSIBILITY

CHRISTIANITY IS WORSE THAN CANCER

 
 
 
 
The reader may wonder how my mother could have been persuaded to attack the daughter she loved.
 
Here is just one example of her state of mind in the early 1990's before she attacked me.
 
I was in Ontario when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had the terrible task of phoning my mother to tell her the awful news.
 
My sister Sheila answered my mother's phone.  
 
I was relieved. Now Sheila could tell my mother face to face. That might be easier.
 
Sheila told my mother I was on the phone and I had breast cancer.
 
Here was my mother's response.
 
She said she was less worried about my having cancer than by my having become a Christian.
 
How easily Dawn McSweeney used my mother's confusion to turn her against me.

THE PHYLLIS CARTER DETENTION - CONDEMNED IN ABSENTIA

 
 
I would not be silent. I would not stop demanding justice. I would not stop talking about - writing about - the crimes committed by Dawn McSweeney and those she proudly called her "partners in crime" on her own blog. I had to be discredited, intimidated, punished, silenced.

Carter: Once you are accused, there are always going to be people who are going to doubt your sanity.

In Quebec, the Loi sur la protection des personnes dont l?état mental présente un danger pour elles-mêmes ou pour autrui permits someone to be held for psychiatric evaluation for up to 72 hours. The procedure is almost star-chamber like. It merely requires a petitioner and the person whose detention is sought is not necessarily brought in front of a judge before being detained. Like the labyrinth of public curatorship, under which someone can lose control of their own affairs on the recommendation of a bureaucrat, it is a draconian system. Phyllis Carter was caught up in its net. The following story is not meant to draw any conclusions on the specific merits, or lack thereof, of the Carter detention. It is meant to draw your attention to a process that is archaic at best and in desperate need of reform. ? Beryl Wajsman, Editor
$">
$">
$">Phyllis Carter was ready to step into the shower on June 27 when the doorbell rang.
$">
$">She says her visitors turned out to be two police officers with a court order authorizing them to take the 71-year-old N.D.G. resident into custody in order for her to submit to a mandatory psychiatric assessment.
$">
$">Carter didn't argue. She dressed, shut down the TV and computer, locked up the windows and doors, threw some clean underwear into a bag and followed the officers out the door.
$">
$">On the way to the Jewish General Hospital, Carter says the officers asked her strange questions. Does she wear a big cross or spout quotes from the Bible, for example. Had she ever killed cats by beating them against walls, set fire to buildings for the sheer joy of watching them burn, fantasized about killing her parents in their sleep, or worn a bullet-proof vest to her mother?s funeral? Had she ever danced naked atop her mother's grave.
$">
$">The doctors at the hospital asked similar questions, she said.
$">
$">Carter believes a family member made the allegations to cast doubt on her sanity. I can understand that a lawyer would take the case because a lot of lawyers will take any case for money, said Carter during a telephone interview.
$">
$">But the fact that a judge granted a court order without ever seeing me, speaking to me, had no knowledge of who I am, just on the basis of such outrageous accusations, is shocking.
$">
$">Carter, a regular at borough council meetings and community protests, believes the family member is resentful of her because of a long-standing family feud that has gone on for 11 years. Her dogged insistence on the justice of her position in that feud has landed Carter in hot water in the past.
$">
$">Carter admits to having staged a one-woman demonstration to call attention to her plight stemming from the feud about five years ago. Wearing a sandwich board protest sign and holding up a huge cross, Carter paced silently back and forth across the street from the family member's home. Police were called to the scene and Carter was transported to the hospital to undergo a mental evaluation. She says she was released almost immediately after being seen by the doctor.
$">
$">When asked if it was still worth pursuing this issue after all these years, Carter replied: I'll die for this, and if that's crazy, then I'm crazy because justice is more important to me than anything.
$">
$">Carter is not sure what prompted her relative to have her committed this time around. Attempts by The Suburban to track down the family member and ask their side of the story were unsuccessful. (NOTE: This is incorrect.)
$">
$">Psychiatrist Dr. Jason Morrison treated Carter at the Royal Victoria this past June. When asked if Carter was deprived of her liberty needlessly, Morrison said: It's really hard to say whether it's needless. The person making the complaint felt there was something; there was something in the information contained that the judge felt there was sufficient information for having granted [the court order], he said.
$">
$">However, without getting into the details of Carter's case, Morrison said that after he examined her, he did not think she needed to be in custody and discharged her.
$">
$">In fact, he seemed surprised that Carter was brought in to begin with. This is the only time I've ever seen this happen [...] Most often when we have people brought in on a court order for an assessment, it's been very important for the person to be treated in hospital. Its not always the case, but it?s often the way, he said.
$">
$">The Suburban attempted to obtain a copy of the court order for Carter's detention to validate her story. However, a clerk we spoke to at the Palais de justice said that such documents are confidential and only Carter would be able to request a copy of her file. Carter says she has sent away for a copy.
$">
$">Existing mental health legislation permits family members or people in the community, such as social workers, to request that a person be forced to undergo psychiatric testing if they have reason to believe a person is in imminent danger of injuring themselves or others.
$">
$">In Quebec, the Loi sur la protection des personnes dont l'état mental présente un danger pour elle- mêmes ou pour autrui permits someone to be held in an authorized medical facility for a psychiatric evaluation for up to 72 hours, after which they must be let go or their further detention must be justified.
$">
$">A person may also contest their detention, however, Carter says she did not openly object to being at the hospital for fear that it would only make things worse. Nor, she says, did she immediately tell other family members about her plight.
$">
$">I did not want them involved. I was told afterward, if I had given them [hospital staff] the name and number of any of my relatives or friends who could have immediately told them who I am and what I am, I would have been released immediately. But I wanted this to be played out. I wanted to go on my own merit, without anybody speaking up for me, she said, adding that she did eventually supply the hospital with a name when she thought she might otherwise be stuck there for weeks.
$">
$">Margaret Somerville, founding director of McGill's Centre for Medicine, Ethics and Law, says that though there have been significant reforms in mental health law in the last few decades due largely because of abuses in psychiatric cases, it is possible for the law to be used in a vengeful way, citing the case of a doctor who had a friend commit his wife, who later won a suit against her husband for false imprisonment.
$">Sure [it's possible to abuse the law], but it's very unlikely you'd succeed. The other thing is you could turn around and sue the person who did it. In Quebec I think it would be highly likely that the law would consider this (in terms of moral damages). And in common-law, you'd think things like defamation. Just making the allegation that you're insane and should be locked up could be defamation.
$">
$">Somerville says a judge would have to be presented with clear and convincing evidence before authorizing a commitment order. Can you imagine if I just marched into court before a judge and I say I'd like an order to lock you up. You can imagine judges don't give those orders very readily.
$">
$">Susy Landreville, a lawyer for the Douglas Mental Health University Institute, said that obtaining a court order for a psychiatric evaluation is usually a last resort for family members, who are often very concerned about a loved one's welfare and torn up about the decision.
$">
$">Landreville said that those taken in for an evaluation may not be aware that they need help and are often very upset at family members for doing what they did.
$">
$">When people ask us what they should do, we tell them to try to get [their loved one] to go to the hospital of their own accord. Otherwise, it's very traumatizing for them.
$">
$">Carter was released on the third day of her detainment, but she doesn't feel vindicated because the stigma of having her sanity questioned will remain, she says.
$">
$"> She also fears her relative will make more complaints and she will be taken into custody again.
$">
$">There are some people who might like to see me in a little padded cell, she said, noting that the only time she was ever hospitalized for psychiatric reasons was years ago when she admitted herself for a bout of depression after her husband died and she was diagnosed with cancer. Once you are accused, there are always going to be people who are going to doubt your sanity. And because I'm outrageously outspoken, I can expect that, but I'll be damned if that's going to stop me.

Tribunal took four minutes in Carter detention

Contradictions on face of court order

By Anna Bratulic, The Suburban


Phyllis Carter

It took a Quebec Court judge a mere four minutes to evaluate and approve an application to force N.D.G. resident Phyllis Carter to undergo psychiatric testing this past June.
$">
$">However, Carter, 71, was neither present at the hearing nor did she know such a petition was being made against her.
$">
$">According to provincial court documents obtained by The Suburban, closed-door proceedings in Carter?s case began at 10:03 am on June 27, questioning of the petitioner (a member of Carter's family) took place at 10:05 am, and an order for her to be taken to hospital for an evaluation was given at 10:07 am.
$">
$">Later that day, she was taken by surprise when two police officers showed up at her door to escort her to hospital for a mental evaluation. She was kept for a few days until a psychiatrist at the Royal Victoria released her on the grounds that she did not pose a danger to herself or others.
$">
$">This all happened to me based on something that somebody looked at for four minutes. [...] If it could happen to me, imagine what it would be like for an immigrant, a shy person or someone who's not educated. Imagine what it would be like for someone who really had had some mental problems in the past, and somebody comes knocking at the door and you haven?t done anything, she said.
$">
$">Caroline Stewart, coordinator at Action Autonomie, an organization that advocates on behalf of rights for the mentally ill, suspects the judge was probably convinced to issue a dispense de signification.
$">
$">This exemption allows proceedings in such cases to carry on without the defendant because it is felt that if they knew they might do something rash, like harm someone or run off.
$">
$">Stewart says it is not difficult to persuade a judge to issue an exemption. According to a study published by Action Autonomie in 2005, of the 391 requests to put someone in interim custody for clinical psychiatric examinations, only three people were given notice to attend their own hearings.
$">
$">The court ruling in Carters case refers to an 'absence of consent' as one of the reasons why an exemption and subsequent mental evaluation were ordered, yet at the same time states that it waives questioning of the respondent and exempts the applicant from serving the motion on the respondent. Carter insists no one ever gave her an opportunity to consent, or for that matter, to refuse to consent to anything.
$">
$">"It's one of the things we denounce", says Stewart. "Too often an exemption from service is issued and people cannot get their voices heard... From the moment that a person concerned is not involved in the procedure, such as by being present, for example, it creates a situation where the law can be applied too broadly[...] We ask that people always be present at court in order to be heard and be represented by a lawyer. When that does happen, we see that, sure enough, the applications are rejected."
$">
$">Quebec's Mental Patients Protection Act states that a person may have to undergo a mandatory psychiatric examination if there is reason to believe they might be a danger to themselves or others.
$">
$">Stewart estimated that, on average, proceedings last about six minutes. "There are some that are two minutes, some that are a minute and a half, some four minutes. [Short hearings] are frequent, but criticized because it's too little time to assess someone's level of danger [to self and others]."

YES ! I'M ANGRY. - BUT AM I MAD ?

 
      
 
 
 
If truth and persistence are symptoms of insanity,
then I am truly mad.
 
Phyllis Carter
 
MARLENE JENNINGS, M.P. STATED AT TWO PUBLIC MEETINGS IN 2008  "MRS. CARTER'S RIGHTS WERE VIOLATED THREE TIMES "

My name is Phyllis Carter. I am a Canadian and I am a crime victim. I have been fighting for justice since October 7, 1996, when I was attacked in my home and robbed of everything I had worked for all my life and everything left to me by my beloved husband. A Montreal Police officer helped the thief and the police have refused to pursue this case from the start. They say their hands are tied and crime victims have no rights.

At the Meet the Candidates assembly in NDG on October 7, 2008, Liberal Member of Parliament, Marlene Jennings, stated before all the candidates and the public, "Mrs. Carter's rights were violated three times". She indicated that there was nothing she could do about the first and second violations because of the system, but she will help me with the third violation - the 2005 will made in my 92 year old mother's name.

Mrs. Jennings repeated this statement at a Sunday service at Rosedale United Church in NDG, Montreal.

The three violations.

1. In 1996, the Montreal Police refused to file a report of the initial robbery. They have continued to refuse to act ever since.
 
2. In 2007, immediately following the death of my mother, the same group of criminals obtained a court order accusing me of being insane and dangerous. I was released from hospital unconditionally as soon as the doctors found out what my accusers had done and why. After my mother's death, we learned that -
 
3. In 2005, the same group who call themselves "Partners in Crime" created a will in my mother's name when she was 92 years old and handicapped physically and mentally. My mother was kept in total isolation by these criminals for ten years - until her death. The sole beneficiaries of the 2005 will were the same people who robbed me and obtained the court order against me. Then it became clear why these criminals tried to discredit me and silence me.

Dawn McSweeney and her associates robbed me and my family. I have provided copious evidence to the Montreal Police from the start, but the Montreal Police do nothing.

If the Montreal Police had acted properly on October 7, 1996, Dawn McSweeney and her "Partners in Crime" would never have had the chance to steal all my most precious possessions or to obtain a court order declaring me insane and dangerous.
 
They would never have had the opportunity to make a will in my mother's name, when she was 92 years old and handicapped - physically and mentally. A will from which only the circle of thieves benefited. They took everything that my father had worked for all his life. Everything he had willed to his children and grandchildren.
 
They would not have been able to keep our mother in total isolation for a decade until her death in 2007.

Everything that has happened since October 7, 1996, can be directly linked to the incompetence and - perhaps - corruption, of the Montreal Police, and Quebec's so-called "justice system".

I waited for Marlene Jennings to act since 2008. She fell silent after she was re-elected in 2008. But I did not just wait.
 
I struggle for justice night and day. Day and night for fifteen years now. Somewhere there is an honest person who has authority and the conscience to do what is right. I continue to search for that person.

    DAWN MCSWEENEY: MOTHER IS DEAD

    If you have read my blog entitled DAWN MCSWEENEY, you will be interested in knowing that, in spite of all my efforts over the years, I never saw my mother again. She died last week. I attended her burial. My mother went to her grave, as had my father before her, without ever knowing the truth, because no one in authority in Montreal, Quebec or Canadian government or the police would help me.

    Of course you could always write to me at my home address but then you would all know where I live.
    I suppose I should just take down this silly site and move on with my life.
    If I don't take down the site I will surely put my address up here with instructions on how to find me... Maybe some nice pictures too.
    Have a terrible day all.

    To my readers all over the world:

    The three comments you have read here were not posted by me but by Dawn McSweeney's "partner in crime" Alex Lavergne who uses the alias TheInk. These are just some of the hate messages he has posted on my blog in an effort to silence me. and still, the Montreal Police refuse to take any action against these criminals who robbed me, robbed my family, tore our family apart and destroyed my health. There is no justice for crime victims in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. We have no way to protect ourselves. Only the rich and those with special friends receive help from the authorities. If the Montreal Policeman had not helped Dawn McSweeney to rob me, the Police might have helped me, but, since one of their own helped to rob me, the Police will not act, neither did my insurance company. No one will help because the Montreal Police are involved in the crime and the cover-up.
