So, given these statistics below, it is highly possible that Byron Prior and his siblings were victims of sex crimes as children.
Because NOTHING has been done by the Department of Justice or the Canadian Government despite Byron spending 7 (seven) months on Parliament Hill requesting assistance from politicians and bureacrats, Byron and his brothers and sisters remain victims.
UNTIL the Department of Justice holds former Chief Justice T.Alex Hickman and the other alleged criminals responsible for the crimes they committed against this family, they will remain victims.
The Department of Justice defies its own legislation to INVESTIGATE reports of child abuse in the case of Byron Prior and his siblings.
In denying justice to Byron's family, the Canadian government denies justice to all its people.
So much for Stephen Harper's "New Government".
"Although many cases of abuse are still not reported to either police or child welfare authorities, data from police reports and child welfare authorities is still the most important source of information about child abuse. A recent study, the Canadian Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect (CIS) estimated the extent of child abuse in Canada based on data from child welfare authorities.4 The CIS is an important milestone in providing a national picture of child abuse. This study collected information about more than 7,000 child welfare investigations conducted across the country during a three-month period in 1998. Based on this data, the CIS estimated that there were 135,573 child maltreatment investigations in Canada in 1998 - a rate of almost 22 investigations for every 1000 children in Canada. Child welfare workers were able to confirm that the abuse had occurred in almost half (45%) of all cases.5
The key findings of the CIS include:6
Physical abuse: In 1998, about one third (31%) of investigations involved physical abuse as the primary reason for the investigation. Physical abuse was confirmed in about one third (34 %) of these investigations, a rate of 2.25 cases of confirmed physical abuse for every 1,000 children in Canada.
Sexual abuse: One in ten (10%) investigations in 1998 involved sexual abuse as the primary reason for the investigation. Sexual abuse was confirmed in more than one third (38%) of these cases, a rate of 0.86 cases per 1,000 children.
Neglect: Neglect was the primary reason for investigation in 40% of all cases in 1998. Neglect was confirmed in 43% of these cases, a rate of 3.66 cases per 1,000 children.
Emotional maltreatment: In 1998, 19% of all investigations involved emotional maltreatment as the primary reason for the investigation. Emotional maltreatment was confirmed in more than half (54%) of these cases, a rate of 2.20 cases per 1,000 children."
