We have read your 12-page "report" on the Gettliffe-Grant matter which is on your website.
It is terribly sad and traumatic that your child was abducted by your ex-husband. It is unacceptable, we agree, and it demands right action.
While it is understandable that you are traumatized regarding the loss of your own child through a parental abduction, it appears that you are transferring your rage towards your ex-husband onto Nathalie Gettliffe, who is a mother who acted to protect her children from harm, not an ex-husband who removed a child to hurt the other parent.
You did not live in the Grant-Gettliffe household, nor do you have any evidence of what the children and Nathalie Gettliffe experienced. So what qualifies you to write such a long document?
Your document is erroneous in fact and in implication and frankly, in legal terms, it comes across as a hysterical woman having a "rant".
This behaviour does not help you, your child or Nathalie's children.
Are you a lawyer, a recognized "court expert witness" ?
What exactly is your professional background that you feel so entitled to misinform the public?
If you do wish to express your opinion in a coherent, intelligant and informative way, then let us suggest that you firstly conduct thorough research:
The "psychologist" who works with Scott Grant and is always near the children is Father Lucien Larre, of the Archdiocese of Vancouver.
Perhaps you will be interested to read the post on this website concerning Larre's background.
I refer you to the article published in the Toronto Star in 1992.
Would you have allowed your child to be near anyone who had been convicted of slapping and choking a little child and who had been charged with 9 other offenses, including one for sexual assault?
Perhaps you might consider channeling your anger into something more productive: like working together with us to expose corruption in the judiciary, the legal system, the Hague, the family law system and in the Catholic Church.
We feel your pain because we are made up of parents who have experienced what you have lived. However, we have learnt that if we wanted to progress, we needed to look behind the scenes and find out who is enabling this international movement to have children removed to or returned to a harmful environment.
Let us agree that there are good and bad parents. There are spiteful parents who will remove a child just to hurt the other, and in so doing, they destroy their children.
And then, there are parents, both mothers and fathers, who feel that they have no choice but to remove their children from a harmful environment because they are not being protected by the Court.
There is a defense in every criminal code that I am aware of regarding this action: it is known as "necessity". In the Canadian Criminal Code it is section 285 and it states very clearly that if it can be proven that a parent removed a child from its habitual environment because the parent was aware of imminent danger to the child, then it cannot be considered a crime.
We will pray for you and for your precious child, as we pray for Nathalie and her children and all parents in this situation. Let us not waste energy and time hating one another. As parents and people with compassion, let us work together for the good of our children.
We wish you peace and I pray that your child is returned to you,
Maxine et Les Enfants France/Quebec
