The following letter was sent on Monday, November 20th 2006, from Louis Ripault, a private investigator working on behalf of Dr. Gettliffe's family.
The letter is addressed to the high commissioner of the Human Rights Commission Miguel De la Lama, wherein Louis advises him of the following--English Translation--:
I have just learned that Nathalie's baby was the object of two attempted strangulation from an inmate in prison.
This underlines the urgency of an intervention from the High Commissioner of seeing Louise Arbour in person.
These attempts were acted by a co-inmate whose own child was taken away.
The answer from the authorities on this matter was to place the co-inmate in another building and to hand over to Nathalie Gettliffe a key to her cell and to the building.
This now makes Nathalie appear in the eyes of all inmates like a "guard without arms".
We understand with her being awake every hour in the night by the guards and the pressure from her own lawyers that she ended up pleading guilty.
You had attempted this summer to pass this matter to a service of emergency who did not recognize the importance of accelerating an intervention. So what are we to think now?
I advise you of your obligations to advise Louise Arbour of this matter.
The Attorney General of BC has all the power to stop the grave violations done on Nathalie and her children. Why then is he covering up the violations?

Amazing how you always hide behind anonymity - it is true then that bullies and ignorant fools are also cowards.
There are more women behind you than you think. People are scared to speak up. Women who are mothers have been drastically silenced. I consider this case an "example" case serving to "teach a lesson" to women. I am thoroughly outraged, but sadly, not surprised. There is something wrong, really wrong with the court and social services system in BC. It is natural for a mother who is the child's primary attachment figure to want to be with her own children and protect them from the cheap sentimentality of "father"s rights, which most often disquises more disturbing things. Many of said "fathers" use the system to re-claim their property, but don't have the kindness of heart to see what is truly best for the children--to be with their mother. The system has been mislead by legal "rights" logic, in terms of the gender of parenting. The gender neutral language has caused many women, who believe in human rights, the pain of trying to figure out why it feels so wrong for their children to be taken away from them by so called "shared parenting" advocates and to have their options and mobility restricted, when all they are trying to do is make a better life for themselves and their children. ("Father"'s right's is really a father's perogative to punish a woman for daring to leave him). It is the patriarchy all over again, in the name of "equality". Women and children are a unit. Women who have children know this. The courts do not. The specifics are often that the father has power and control issues that have nothing to do with caring for the child on a day to day basis and what is lost here are the subtleties of the mother's emotional connection to the child which forms the basis of growing a loving and caring human being.
Nathalie, you are not alone. La langue maternelle ne se traduis pas!!! Partous dans le monde, les langue de les cultures traditionelles sont en train de desparaitres. Ce que la monde perde est la language de communication qui se fait sur autres que commerce est propriete.
I can't believe the "matter of fact" media coverage of this. The media is so behind the times in terms of being able to communicate the real human right's issues here. All the subtleties are lost in sound bites. The truth is lost. The truth that there is no more selfless love than the love of a mother for her child. Nathalie, you are a momma bear. All the momma bears of the world are crying tears for you and your children. We stand behind you, even if the others do not.

Thanks Momma Bear!
Your words are a confirmation of the movement that I would like to begin in France and in Canada.
My daughter visited her Canadian cousins in Winnipeg in summer of 2003 and she brought me back a broach.....with Mamma Bear and Baby Bear snuggled at her belly...
During this time, my daughter was suffering a lot as she did not understand why her father could not accept that she had chosen to live with her mother.
I am divorced in France.
Through the courts in France my husband fought for custody.... but yet when it was his visiting time he would not take her... or if he did he would slap her, lock her in the house, pick on her, etc......
Eventually he gave up asking for custody...just after his mother's death...
Afterwards, my daughter explained to me that her father had intended to get custody so that he could send her to live in the south of France with his mother, which was about a 10-hour drive from my home north of Paris.
When I finally understood the baseness of this so-called father ...punishing his daughter to get even with me for having left him...it opened up my eyes to the reality of how horrible a man could be.
Time has gone by...I retained custody.... but I had to spend about 40 000 CAD $ on lawyers, etc.
I can also say that the French legal system is far from transparent...there are many bad lawyers, and dishonest judges, women and men, who accept influences.
But you have to keep the faith.... believe that there are good people among the lawyers and judges and eventually if you are able to hold on....you achieve a little bit of justice... with time and prayers... and with a little help from my friends!
God Bless
A mother.
