Desperately trying to get my child mental health help.

I’ve been involved with every agency and organization available to my child for major mental health issues. My child has been previously abused by the other parent and I’ve kept CAS involved since as a Support. The counselling he’s had the past several years is not making any difference.

The issues have gotten to the point where my child is in needs Maryvale treatment services, outside of the psychiatrist he already sees there. He’s a threat to himself, and I’m concerned for his life. The psychiatrist keep having him go to hospital , just for the hospital to send him off.

He’s been to ER multiple times and they said they cannot “form” him if he doesn’t cooperate and say he’s suicidal. Even if a few hours earlier he self harmed and said he was going to s**cide. They did tell me CAS has the power to have him admitted to Maryvale.

CAS say ER has to do it, and have no interest in doing anything else. They have suggested my son stay with his abuser, to relieve me and my other kids. They have all documentation, police reports, and my kids statements and know he’s been abused.

Everyone agrees that he needs more intense treatment , but no one wants to take action . I’ve spoken to CAS supervisor , and the obudsman but I don’t know who else to contact from here. This has been going on for two years(the mental health issues) , and I feel like he’s getting dangerously close to doing something really bad.

Who do I talk to?

Job stealing my tips!

So I’ve been at this job for about 3years and they always told us our debit tips went on our check which they didn’t I had brought it up to the multiple times but just always the same run around. My last two coworkers who left because of that reason had told me we are racking in about $600-$1000+ in debit tips every month! I contacted the labour laws and all they basically told me was I have to file a claim which I will be doing. Has anyone done it before? Did it work out for them in the end?

City councillors

Does anyone know which political party each city councillor is associated with? I know Drew Dilkens and Mark McKenzie are conservative. I was just curious.

Tariffs or no tariffs, I am not buying US products for the next four years.

As an American that moved to Canada, I will not support this chaos. I will not buy American liquor or any other product until the US regime is changed.

I voted for a calm, stable leader, but my fellow American's wanted chaos. Fine, let them have their chaos but leave us alone.

Canada is an amazing country. It's not perfect but I am proud to call it my home.

Buy local, support Canada.

An appeal to my neighbors

I want to make this post to ask everyone to vote in our coming election. It's so important right now that we use our voices and make ourselves heard.

I don't care who you vote for. That's a personal choice and I respect that. Windsor voting turnout has been abysmal. We need everyone to stand up and make a choice. Right now!!!

Also, please encourage the people around you to vote. Your coworkers, your children, anyone who would listen to you. It's so important right now. Our city, province and country need to hear you!

Feedback on St. Anne French Immersion school

My 4 old child will be starting school in the fall and we had planned on sending them to WJ Langlois Catholic school as we live in the Fountainbleu area. Registration begins in a few weeks and we are now considering a French immersion school instead. I’d like to ask a couple of questions for feedback - the Catholic District school board website says our child would go to St Anne’s on Monmouth in Walkerville. Any feedback on this school? Is it worthwhile to send our child to French immersion as we are an English speaking family? Just trying to feel out more information before we complete registration.

Royal Marquis retirement home information

Hey folks,

This is a long shot based on the demographics of this site but here we go.

My FIL is looking for a retirement home and toured the Royal Marquis. Our concern is that the place is very empty and apparently changing management. The person giving the tour had no real information so I was wondering if anyone knows the scoop there.

Also, when you google "Royal Marquis Windsor News" there an article about a bunch of renovations being put on hold but the article doesn't seem to work beyond the headline at the Windsor Star.
