Nova Scotia government officials are protecting alleged child abusers by failing to aggressively pursue cases such as that of a former provincial youth centre employee.
A Pennsylvania man used a chain saw to kill his wife before taking his own life. Police were called to their home in an affluent township on Tuesday after the couple's 14-year-old son, who had been playing basketball outside, came inside and discovered their bloody bodies.

Several former pupils have come forward with allegations of sexual and physical abuse at Rydal Penrhos private school during the 1970s and 1980s. The abuse was allegedly carried out by multiple staff members, who are now all deceased. Victims report being inappropriately touched and groped during lessons. One victim claims a teacher would single her out for "extra lessons" where he would grope and fondle her. The school is investigating the allegations but some evidence contradicts the victims' claims. No current staff members are implicated and there is no evidence of ongoing abuse. The police have not received any new complaints regarding these historical allegations.
A teenage girl has spoken out about the sexual abuse she suffered from her father between the ages of 10 to 13. She has waived her right to anonymity in hopes of encouraging other victims to seek help. Her father, Andrew Simpson, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for his crimes. Though relieved he can no longer hurt others, the girl says being in prison does not undo the trauma she endured. She hopes sharing her story will give other victims the courage to speak out.

Psychological abuse can take many forms including insulting, humiliating, threatening, degrading, isolating or controlling another person. It is often perpetrated by family members but can also come from partners or coworkers, making the victim feel they have no options to stop the behavior. Psychological abuse of children and women can be rooted in factors like poverty, male-dominated societies, religions, and media portrayals. Solutions include the victim asking for help from friends or authorities, seeking therapy to establish mental stability, and the abuser potentially undergoing counseling depending on legal rulings.

Showtime Networks would be a good potential distributor for the film because they have experience distributing similar thriller genres that deal with bullying and crime stories.

While self-distribution could allow keeping all profits, it would be very time consuming without the industry connections that distributors have.

Abusive foster mother gets 14 years in prisonBy JOHN IWASAKI, P-.docxnettletondevon
An abusive foster mother, Chornice Kabbelliyaa, was sentenced to 14 years in prison for torturing her foster daughter over many years. She stabbed the girl's eyes with needles, burned her tongue with a heated fork, and dropped weights on her feet. Despite many warnings from authorities about the girl's suspicious injuries, the state failed to remove her from Kabbelliyaa's home until she had lost vision in one eye. A review found a systemic failure by the Department of Social and Health Services and other groups to adequately protect the girl.
A Shepparton man was remanded in custody for allegedly assaulting a woman so badly she required intensive care. Police found Kelvin Rogers hiding under his mother's mattress and arrested him. He was charged with intentionally causing serious injury. At the bail hearing, police expressed concerns that Rogers would fail to appear in court, re-offend, or influence the victim, given his attempts to persuade her not to cooperate during his arrest. The magistrate denied bail citing his criminal history and likelihood of interfering with witnesses.

Several former pupils of Rydal School in Colwyn Bay have reported sexual, physical and mental abuse by staff between 1970-1980. An internal investigation is underway, though the accused staff are now deceased. One victim, Alexander Curzon, says he was repeatedly abused and wants others to come forward, while acknowledging a criminal case is not possible. Other victims reported witnessing openly abusive behavior in classrooms and dormitories. The school and police are investigating, though no current criminal case can proceed due to the deaths of the accused.

2. HALIFAX- Nova Scotia government officials are
protecting alleged child abusers by failing to
aggressively pursue cases such as that of a former
provincial youth centre employee who recently
admitted molesting boys that the lawyer for several
abuse victims says.
William M Leahey said that two interviews
conducted with former counselors at the school by
provincial investigators –one of the former
counselors was convicted of 11 counts of abusing
boys at Shelburne but now denies any sexual
encounters – indicate that leads are not being
followed up in the probe of sexual and physical
abuse at provincial centers.
3. The attitude of the Crown appears to be that it wills
not under any circumstances follow up even the most
obvious leads, even when those leads come from the
admission of perpetrators themselves, “Mr. Leahey
complained in a letter to provincial government lawyer
William Wilson last week.
That letter is part of an application Mr. Leahey will
make the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia today asking
the government to fund an independent review of its
file on the Shelburne School of Boys during the year
1960s and 1970s, when the abuse is alleged to have
taken place.
As part of that application, Mr. Leahey has also filed
the transcripts of two interviews conducted by
members of the Department of Judicial independent
investigation unit, which is reviewing hundreds of
abuse complaints from former youth centre residents.
He received the transcripts from the province on Dec.
31, 1997.
4. Last May, a former counselor at the Shelburne School
of Boys Paul Aucoin, told two provincial investigators
that he had sexual encounters with three boys at
Shelburne when he was a teacher there 25 years
ago. According to a transcript for the interview with
investigators Gordon Legge and Allan Richardson,
Mr. Aucoin made the admission after the denied
allegations by two former Shelburne residents that the
counselors tried to physically force them to engage in
oral sex with him. Mr. Aucoin told investigators that he
was acknowledging the sexual encounters, which
included oral sex and foundling, “as a sort of way for
me to try make peace with myself.
He said he never meant to hurt anyone and he felt
remorse and shame over what happened at
Shelburne in the late 1960s and early 1970s when he
was there. Its embarrassing and shaming and very
painful for me to be his honest, “Mr. Aucoin said
during the interview.
5. According to the transcript, Mr. Legge told Mr. Aucoin
that the information from the interview would be
forwarded to the government of Nova Scotia and
possibly to the RCMP, which is conducting a massive
investigation of the more then 1,400 allegations of
abuse at Shelburne and several other Nova Scotia
youth centers.
Mr. Leahey said in an interview that the investigators
failed to press Mr. Aucoin for information about the
abuse he was involved in and didn’t even mention
the allegations of Martin Smith, who is now suing the
province alleging that senior government officials
were aware of allegations against some Shelburne
counselors and failed to protect him when he says he
was abused by Mr. Aucoin and another counselor,
Patrick MacDougall in the late 1960s and 1970s.
Mr. Leahey questioned whether the Department of
Justice had made any attempt to locate and offer
counseling to the boys Mr. Aucion named in his
interview with investigators or if the file was
forwarded to the RCMP for further investigations.
