"This move by our province to close the child advocate’s office is unacceptable and I hope that people in this province will voice their concerns and encourage the province to reconsider.” nugget.ca/news/national/…
1 in 5 children under the age of 18 in Ontario lives in Poverty. There is no time to spare in the fight against poverty because children's physical and mental health well-being is greatly impacted. All Ontario children deserve a strong beginning! #PovertyHurtsOntario
Having @OntarioAdvocate is consistent with #Canada being a signatory country to the #UNCRC and #SDG16 requiring responsive #institutions to protect against violence against minors. In 2018, is it OK to do an action contrary to #ChildRights ? @UN @SDGaction @TeachSDGs @WHO @UNICEF

More than half of Canadians say they, a co-worker, or both have been bullied on the job — but while the majority reported it to their employer, only one-third of workplaces took action, according to a new nationwide survey. #StarExclusive thestar.com/news/gta/2018/…
"An ombudsman frankly, tries to make sure that government does what it says it’s going to do.... An Ombudsman’s job is to try and listen to both sides and be impartial. A child advocate’s job is to stand with children. In Ontario, there will no longer be somebody.”

There’s a growing outcry over the elimination of the Ontario Child Advocate, a move that was revealed first by CBC News. #onpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
12 organizations stand together and speak with one voice. The children of Ontario have a right to a provincial advocate. #keepOPACY #OntarioAdvocate #YouHaveAVoice #ChildrenFirst #onpoli @OntarioAdvocate

The @OntarioAdvocate provides an independent voice for children and youth in the #childwelfare and #youthjustice systems, #FirstNations kids, and those with #disabilities. Today, @ONgov silenced this voice. We believe this hurts kids. RT if you agree. #onpoli @MacLeodLisa
Kids will die @VictorFedeli if this office is shut down. The most marginal and defenceless kids in Ontario will die.

We no longer have an Ontario “children’s watchdog”
Ignoring complaints, shutting down whistle blowers and isolating individuals led to the explosive institutional abuse lawsuits that prompted legislated rights for children in care. Young people in care need to be heard and advocacy specific to young people must be maintained.
"We're talking about our children's lives here — our young people, children in care — and having a strong advocate voice to ensure our children are not in danger." | CBC News cbc.ca/news/indigenou…
Advocacy for young people in institutional care is essential. Years of institutional abuse commissions, reports and lawsuits all make clear the need for this essential safeguard. "Ford government poised to cut watchdog posts for children" cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
