AMBER ALERT SUCCESSFUL! RCMP LOCATE TWO ABDUCTED BOYS IN SASKATCHEWAN

Thank God and Thanks to the wonderful resident near Kipling who alerted the RCMP to the abandoned vehicle of the suspect. Because of their thoughtful and prompt action, the two abducted boys were located. One has already been returned to his family.

Police negotiating with suspect after missing boy foundLast Updated: Tuesday, August 1, 2006 4:31 PM CT CBC News Police in Saskatchewan are negotiating with a convicted sex offender at an abandoned farm after a massive search for two youths resulted in finding one of the boys alive and well.
Police said they were negotiating with 35-year-old Peter Whitmore. They also said that 14-year-old Jordan Bruyere of Winnipeg was with Whitmore at the farm and is apparently in good condition.

Zachary Miller of Whitewood, Sask., was found near Kipling, Sask., about 170 kilometres southeast of Regina.
Earlier Tuesday, RCMP confirmed that 10-year-old Zachary Miller of Whitewood, Sask., was found at the farm near Kipling, Sask., about 170 kilometres southeast of Regina.
"We now have Zachary with us and we are reuniting him with his family," RCMP spokeswoman Heather Russell said. "He appears to be in good condition."

Police said a resident of the Kipling area spotted an abandoned van that matched the description of the vehicle police had been searching for. While the person was investigating, a young boy ran out of a farm building, located about 17 kilometres east of Kipling.
Police immediately cordoned off the area and an emergency response team was dispatched, said Russell.

The two boys disappeared from Whitewood Sunday. Police issued an Amber Alert after Zachary disappeared and also issued a Canada-wide arrest warrant for Whitmore for abduction.
Whitmore a no-show for hearing
Whitmore has spent time in prison for sex crimes involving children. He served 16 months in custody after being convicted in Ontario in 1993 of abduction and sexual offences involving four boys.
Just nine days after he was released, he took an eight-year-old girl from Guelph, Ont., to Toronto. He received a 56-month sentence for a sex offence involving the girl.
His most recent prison sentence, for violating terms of his probation, was served in Chilliwack, B.C., and ended in June 2005.

B.C. authorities successfully applied for a court order, good for one year, to monitor his movements within the province.
Whitmore revealed he was planning to move to Alberta and authorities in that province were alerted, but he failed to show up for a June 29 hearing.
Residents in Topsail, about a 20-minute drive from St. John's, N.L. told CBC Tuesday that Whitmore moved into the community in late June but left shortly thereafter. Whitmore reportedly told locals that his wife had died and that he was looking to bring his two young children to the area.

Whitmore's former lawyer, Daniel Brodksy, said he can't believe the convicted pedophile was allowed to travel freely from province to province.
"It's amazing that with Peter's history — where even his own defence lawyer says he's a high-risk, high-needs individual who can live in the community but only if he's properly supervised — how you can let the conditions of his supervision expire," said Brodsky.
While there was joy for the Miller family Tuesday afternoon, the Manitoba family of Jordan Bruyere was still waiting anxiously for good news.

Earlier in the day, a Whitewood resident said he had met with Whitmore and Bruyere on July 28 and the boy appeared to be in good physical condition.
Kevin White, who has a car dealership in the town, said a man whose van needed a tire came in to his business accompanied by a youth. White said he later saw photos on the internet and confirmed he saw Whitmore and Bruyere.

Jordan's aunt phoned him last night to find out what happened.
"I basically told them he didn't seem to be physically abused," White said. "There were no bruises or anything. He wasn't visibly upset. He was just very quiet."

Peter Robert Joseph Whitmore, 35 years old
Convicted child sexual predator

Canada-wide warrant issued in abduction of Saskatchewan boy
Last Updated: Monday, July 31, 2006 4:01 PM PT CBC News

The RCMP have issued a Canada-wide warrant for a pedophile with a string of sex assault convictions who is believed to have abducted 10-year-old Zachary Miller in Saskatchewan.
In addition to the cross-country alert, police have charged Peter Robert Joseph Whitmore, 35, with abduction.

Police put out an Amber Alert for Zachary Miller, 10, who went missing from his Whitewood-area home Sunday. (RCMP/Canadian Press)Police say Zachary was last seen Sunday afternoon near his home in Whitewood, Sask.

The boy is described as four feet six inches tall, 70 pounds, with red hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing black track pants with a red and white stripe and running shoes.
Police said Whitmore, a repeat sex offender who lives in Morinville, Alta., had been seen in the Whitewood area over the past few days.

Peter Robert Joseph Whitmore, 35, is being sought in connection with the boy's disappearance.(RCMP/Canadian Press)"The suspect has also been in contact with the victim's family in the last few days, as well," said Sgt. Tammy Patterson.
Heather Russell, an RCMP spokeswoman, told CBC News the RCMP wants all police officers across Canada to be aware of the
search underway. Police don't know the suspect's direction of travel after leaving the Whitewood area, Russell said.
"We do believe there is potential for harm," Russell said.

(CBC)
Whitmore is described as six feet tall, white, with a heavy build, brown hair and blue eyes.
The RCMP said Monday afternoon they have received 80 tips from the public so far and are following up on all of them.

May be with aboriginal teen

Police believe 14-year-old Jordan Bruyere of Winnipeg is travelling with Peter Robert Joseph Whitmore, the man charged with the abduction of a 10-year-old Saskatchewan boy.
Al Balantyne, the boy's stepfather, said Monday that he last saw his stepson during a drive to Saskatchewan last week with a co-worker.
When their vehicle broke down in Brandon, Balantyne said he took the bus back to Winnipeg to get money, leaving his stepson with the co-worker, whom he'd known for a week.
The boy and Balantyne's co-worker have not been seen since.

When police showed Balantyne a picture of Whitmore, Balantyne identified him as the co-worker.
The teenager's grandmother, Caroline Bruyere, is wondering why an Amber Alert was not issued then.
"When we knew that my grandson was with a stranger, I don't think everybody should have assumed it's OK," she said. "I think right away there should have been proper authorities trying to know where he is."
Winnipeg police said specific criteria must be met before an Amber Alert can be issued, and it appears those guidelines were not met in the Bruyere case.

Searching Saskatchewan countryside
On Monday afternoon, police were seen searching the countryside just south of the town, which is about 175 kilometres east of Regina.

Whitewood Mayor Malcolm Green said people in town are feeling fear, anger and sadness.
"We've never had any problem, any incidents like this," he said. "With this happening, it has everybody on edge right now."

Whitmore may be driving a 1988 blue Dodge Caravan with wood panelling and an Alberta plate.
Whitmore has been jailed several times for crimes involving children. He served 16 months in custody after being convicted in Ontario in 1993 of abduction and sexual offences involving four boys.
Just nine days after he was released, Whitmore took an eight-year-old girl from Guelph, Ont., to Toronto. He received a 56-month sentence.
After his release in November 2000, Whitmore was found less than one month later with a 13-year-old boy in a Toronto motel.

His sentence for that offence was one year in jail.
In 2002, Whitmore fled to British Columbia after he was accused of more parole violations in Ontario, including befriending a five-year-old boy. When he was arrested by police in B.C., Whitmore was found to be carrying latex gloves, duct tape and pictures of young children.
He was given a three-year sentence, including 12 months of psychiatric treatment at Kingston Penitentiary.

From Surviving to Thriving...

Outstanding, Clearly Written Guide to Recovering from Child Abuse, April 20, 2006
Reviewer: JMS (Cleveland, OH United States)

"This unheralded book is probably the best book I have read on recovering from child abuse. While ostensibly written for the therapist, it is equally valuable to the recovering victim. Unlike many books which spend much of their time describing the problems those abused as children face as adults and not enough time on the solution, this book focus on the steps the abused can take in working through the issues they face in recovery. The book borrows from all schools of psychology, particularly the study of PTSD, for its viewpoint. It manages to be both hopeful, affirming, detailed and practical at the same time. I would highly recomend it!"

RCMP Officer Assaults Byron on Parliament Hill, Friday, July 14, 2006

Mr. Andrew House, Executive Assistant to Mr. Rob Moore

Dear Minister Toews:

Re: RCMP Officer assaults and threatens Byron Prior on Parliament Hill

On June 4, 2006, we requested a status report on the investigation into the allegations made by Mr. Prior against former Chief Justice T. Alex Hickman and others, with regard to crimes against himself and his siblings as children in Grand Banks, Newfoundland.

We have not yet received a response to our request.

It has now been brought to our attention by concerned members in Ottawa that on Friday, July 14, at approximately 3pm, Mr. Prior was physically assaulted, threatened, humiliated and provoked by an RCMP officer, whose name we choose to withhold for the moment.

Despite the fact that Mr. Prior’s concerns have been brought to the attention of the Department of Justice through correspondence to your office, to Mr. Moore and Mr. House by MP. Norman Doyle, this RCMP officer felt confident enough to physically assault and threaten Mr. Prior in front of the Houses of Parliament in Ottawa, in full public view and in broad daylight.

Mr. Prior and supporters have a recording of the humiliating accusations, the physically intimidating behaviour and threats, which include being called an “ass-hole” and an “idiot”.

The officer pushed Mr. Prior in the chest several times while intimidating him and accusing him of being on the hill without a valid permit. Mr. Prior has a permit to protest on Parliament Hill which is valid until July 31st, from 9am until 4pm each day of the week. This was confirmed to Mr. Prior by a supervisor of the RCMP in Ottawa following the assault by the RCMP officer on Friday.
Even if Mr. Prior’s permit had expired, the RCMP officer did not have the right to physically assault him.

Just last week Mr. Prior was assured by Mr. Andrew House, the executive assistant of Mr. Rob Moore, your Parliamentary Secretary, that his file was not being swept under the rug, so to speak, and that it was considered a priority.

This appears juxtaposed to the actions of the RCMP officer who felt that he had license to harass and intimidate Mr. Prior on Friday. His actions left Mr. Prior shaken and humiliated.

We are extremely concerned that an officer of the RCMP would be permitted to treat Mr. Prior in such a humiliating manner in full public view, especially considering the gross negligence of other law enforcement officers who have chosen to ignore Mr. Prior’s claims and allowed him and his siblings to remain indefinitely, victims of childhood sexual abuse.

If Mr. Prior was publishing libelous slander, then we are certain that Mr. Hickman and the other alleged perpetrators of the crimes against the young Prior children would have commenced legal action against Mr. Prior and his siblings. However, to date, they have relied on bullying tactics such as intimidation, harassment and assault in order to persuade the victims in this family to remain quiet. That these bullying tactics could be carried out in public on Parliament Hill in broad daylight in full view of tourists, the other protestors and agents of the CIA, is quite absurd and a sure message to us that we are not safe speaking out about crimes against children in Canada.

As the Criminal Code of Canada does not pose a statute of limitations on the sexual abuse of children, Mr. Prior has a right to ask that the alleged perpetrators of these crimes be investigated and brought to justice and the Department of Justice and its agents, have a duty to Mr. Prior, to his siblings and to all children who have been victimized, to investigate, prosecute and penalize the perpetrators.

We are encouraged by our new Prime Minister’s stance against crime and in this same vein we urgently request that Mr. Prior’s evidence be investigated and merited with the attention it deserves.

We furthermore request that the officer who assaulted Mr. Prior be interviewed and disciplined for his inappropriate behaviour.

Finally, we request that Mr. Prior be protected from further harassment. We believe that Mr. Prior should enjoy equal benefit and protection under the law as is stated in section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. We also believe that Mr. Prior’s right to freedom of expression, under section 2 of the Charter is paramount.

We mentioned in our previous communication that we believe Mr. Prior to be a whistler-blower, and as such, deserving of the protection that Prime Minister Harper has spoken about recently in Parliament and on his national tour.
If Mr. Harper intends to encourage citizens of Canada to speak out against corruption, which has almost ruined this beautiful country, then he needs to protect citizens like Mr. Prior.

Despite the several websites which exist to support Mr. Prior’s quest for justice and accountability, Martha Jette recently published a book called “Playing with the Devil”, which details Mr. Prior’s experiences at the hands of the alleged perpetrators of child sexual abuse in his home town in Newfoundland.

This book is being publicized on the Internet, and although written as fiction, it is intended to relate the truth about the victimization of the Prior children.

We refer to Mr. Rob Moore’s statement in the House of Commons Debates in Parliament on May 29, 2006, when you moved that Bill C-9, an Act to amend the Criminal Code(conditional sentence of imprisonment), be read for the second time and referred to a committee:

Mr. Rob Moore: “… To be clear, the overall strategy of Bill C-9 is to target serious crime. We read about serious crime every day in our newspapers from coast to coast to coast, and we hear on the radio and television about someone who has committed a serious offence against another member of society getting what Canadians call a slap on the wrist.

If we talk to Canadians in a Tim Hortons, for example, they will tell us that people are getting a slap on the wrist for serious crimes. There is no denunciation in that. There is no deterrent in that. It has been proven to be ineffective. We want to send a message that we take crime seriously. Canadians sent us that message and we are delivering on it.”

Please Honorable Minister, show us that your department takes crime seriously, and deliver justice to Mr. Prior and his siblings.


For the sake of all children and families in Canada,

Outgrowing the Pain Together - A Book for Couples

Book Description
Because love is not enough... a step-by-step plan for overcoming obstacles together. Childhood abuse has many forms, but the message is always the same: people who love you hurt you. If you are the spouse or partner of a survivor of an abusive childhood, you know what that means-a relationship that has you worried, angry, or frustrated. You may be wondering if the person you love will ever "get over" his or her past, and if you can ever have a "normal" relationship. You may even have thought about leaving out of frustration and despair. But there is real help. Therapist Eliana Gil understands the special problems you and your partner face. Based on her extensive clinical experience with adults abused as children, she has developed a unique, much-needed program specifically for couples. It provides guidance in:

Anger management.
Safe and successful ways to express feelings.
The dangerous trigger words: what are they; what they do.
Touching or being touched: no more fear; no more guilt.
Good sex: Loving, fulfilling intimacy.
Decision-making and power: equal partners at last.
Ending the silence: communication that worked.
Commitment: being able to count on tomorrow... and more.

Outgrowing the Pain of Childhood Sexual Abuse

Reviews on the Book, "Outgrowing the Pain" by Eliana Gil

Great beginning book for all types of childhood abuse., March 19, 2002
Reviewer: Beth Cholette "doctor_beth" (Upstate NY USA)

I'm a psychologist in a college counseling center, and I frequently recommend this book to students who are just beginning to come to terms with a history of childhood abuse, whether it be physical, sexual, emotional, or even neglect. Although the book's illustrations are somewhat juvenille, the content is excellent, and the overall impression is non-threatening. It's a short, simple, easy-to-read book that would be a great first step for anyone who is ready to begin addressing these issues.

Great Resource for Adult Survivors of Domestic Violence, January 15, 2005
Reviewer: Charleen Touchette "Author of IT STOPS WITH ME" (Santa Fe, New Mexico) -

OUTGROWING THE PAIN is a much needed book for the countless adult survivors of child abuse. Clearly written it begins with the source of so much continued pain - denial. Its list of the characteristics of the abused child will ring true immediately with any survivor. What is helpful about this book is that it offers a step by step way to identify how your painful past is prohibiting you from living the most fulfilling life you can. Survivors deny and often bury the pain from their childhoods because they think that will free them from the past, but the truth is that the only way to get over the pain is to remember and release it. OUTGROWING THE PAIN is a good tool to begin the healing process. I wish I had a resource like this when I realized I had not healed from my childhood 14 years ago. It would have saved me a few years of denying and hiding away my paintings of my childhood.

Something Happened to Me...A Beautiful, Helpful Book for Abused Children

"...a sensitive, straightforward book designed to help children victimized by incest or other sexual abuse....They are helped to come to grips with unpleasant experiences beyond their control. Compassionate, competently rendered line drawings add immeasurably to this book, which is well designed to be easily understood and visually appealing. There is also room on each page for a child to draw pictures or write notes about personal experiences."

"Playing With The Devil" by Martha Jette - An Account of Byron Prior's Life - A must read!

Martha Jette has written a book about Byron's experiences as a child at the hands of child predators in Grand Banks, Newfoundland, Canada.
It also tells of the crimes committed against Byron's siblings.

As Martha writes:
"This account is written as a fiction, sadly it protects the guilty, more than the innocent. Here is yet another cry for justice in a world that treats its children as toys for amusement. The peddlers of flesh can sometimes be or own parents. Although it us gruesome it is a must read for all of us to be aware of what lives in our midst.

Institutional Child Abuse in Canada - Civil Cases

As prepared for the Law Commission of Canada by Goldie M. Shea

"If the scourge of sexual predation is to be stamped out, or at least controlled, there must be powerful motivation acting upon those who control institutions engaged in the care, protection and nurturing of children."

Wilkinson, J in G.J. v. Griffiths [1995] B.C.J. No. 2370 (S.C.), online: QL at para. 69.


"In summary, the test for vicarious liability for an employee's sexual abuse of a client should focus on whether the employer's enterprise and empowerment of the employee materially increased the risk of the sexual assault and hence the harm. The test must not be applied mechanically, but with a sensitive view to the policy considerations that justify the imposition of vicarious liability -- fair and efficient compensation for wrong and deterrence. This requires trial judges to investigate the employee's specific duties and determine whether they gave rise to special opportunities for wrongdoing. Because of the peculiar exercises of power and trust that pervade cases such as child abuse, special attention should be paid to the existence of a power or dependency relationship, which on its own often creates a considerable risk of wrongdoing."

McLachlin, J. in Bazley v. Curry (1999), 174 D.L.R. (4th) 45 (S.C.C.) at para. 46.


"...whenever an employer confers, on an employee, parental authority and power over children, and, at the same time, gives that employee unfettered access to the children in a residential facility, the employer will be vicariously liable if the employee sexually assaults those children during the time the employee has parental control over them and access to them as residents of the residential facility."
Maurice, J. in D.W. v. Canada (Attorney General) [1999] Sask.J. No. 742 (Q.B.), online: QL at para 23.


"The question is: whether the employer's enterprise and empowerment of the employee materially increased the risk of the sexual assault and therefore the harm? In each case, the court must investigate the employee's specific duties to determine whether it gave rise to special opportunities for wrongdoing. In this respect, special attention must be paid to the existence of a power or dependency relationship."
Hunter, J in V.P. v. Canada (Attorney General) [1999] Sask.J. No. 740 (Q.B.), online: QL at para 72.

This report consists of a compilation of civil cases and statements of claim relating to institutional child abuse in Canada. The focus is on civil actions concerning institutional and systemic abuse, not domestic (or individual) abuse. The cases have been obtained from a variety of sources using both electronic databases and manual searching methods. The offices of the Minister of Justice in each province and territory have been contacted and, in most situations, have been extremely helpful. Individual lawyers have been contacted. Some counsel represent hundreds of clients suing various defendants regarding events that occurred at one institution. On occasion, lawyers have expressed concern with releasing potentially sensitive and confidential information to the Law Commission and, unfortunately, felt unable to release information regarding current or previously resolved cases in which they are or have previously been involved.

This report contains three sections. The cases are presented alphabetically in chart format and include a synopsis of the cause of action, the allegations made and the eventual outcome (damages, award or order). To the best of our ability, all civil cases involving allegations of institutional child abuse that have been reported in Canada to the date of October 1, 1999 are included in section 1. Samples of the allegations contained in statements of claim filed in relation to institutional child abuse are included in section 2. Section 2 is not a delineation of all of the statements of claim filed but is more a cross-country selection of claims, which may or may not have been settled to date. The section is meant to provide examples of the general structure of the claims and allegations contained within. It should be noted that the allegations contained in a statement of claim have not been proved in court and therefore cannot be taken as fact. These cases are organised alphabetically according to the last name of the first plaintiff listed in the Statement of Claim.

Finally, section 3 contains two tables that have generously been provided by the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (DIAND) and is dated October 29, 1999. The first table indicates the number of active civil cases where institutional child abuse claims have been filed involving Aboriginal residential schools and DIAND. Appendix A to the table is a graph that lists the residential schools in litigation.


As much as possible, best efforts have been made to ensure that all of the information provided is up-to-date as of October 1, 1999. Although the report is dated October 1999 additional information has been provided on some pertinent cases to ensure that the information is as current as possible.

Special Guide to Parenting Sexually Abused Children - Excellent Book

Sexually abused children require special insight from his/her parent/caregiver. Many parents have reported unusual behaviors of their child who has been sexually abused. This book will assist any caregiver in better understanding behaviors of children who have been sexually abused.
When child sexual abuse is identified parents often experience a storm of emotions. Many feel as if they have no one who understands what they are going through. In addition, they certainly aren't going to talk about it at work, grocery store, or the sports fields with other parents. It begins to feel like a dark cloud is stalking.

You are to be commended because you have the courage to do something. Many episodes of sexual abuse go unreported each year, be thankful your child will not longer feel the need to carry his/her emotional backpack of secrets any longer.

This book was written to assist the parent in providing a safe, healthy, and loving home in which the nastiness of sexual abuse has crept in. There is hope. It will get better. You can be the leader of your child's team to provide the security and protection that he/she needs and deserves. I am hopeful you will find help through the pages that follow. Blessings to you as you journey through the hurt of sexual abuse.
