I have watched the Fifth Estate program on TV and I have been taken by the merciless |
| and concerted behaviour of the police, social services and justice system in firstly | |
| accusing the Klassen family members for sexually assaulting children in their foster | |
| home and then when they discovered the Klassens were innocent they continued to | |
| cover up the truth under the false pretense to protect the children. | |

|
Michelle |
I am content that this dramatic story has reached the public at large and we have therefore |
| the hope that justice can take its course against the willingness of both the police and this | |
| government. The story began when Michelle Ross accused Rick Klassen of sexually | |
| abusing her while she was a foster child in the home of Rick Klassen's brother Dale in | |
|
|
1989. |

|
Corporal |
The ensuing sexual investigation was conducted by Corporal Brian Dueck of the |
| Saskatoon City Police and the consequences of this malicious investigation have caused | |
| criminal charges, time in jail, and continuous nightmares for many people including the | |
| Klassen family. All the charges were eventually cleared and now we have the confessions | |
| that Michael Ross was the perpetrator of sexual assaults against his sisters Michelle | |
| and Katherine, and that all the accusations against the Klassens were the fabrications of | |
| these children as influenced by their talking with Corporal Brian Dueck(1). | |

lawsuit |
You can read the detailed documentation of this scandal at the web site |
| http://www.injusticebusters.com but what I find very interesting in this scandal is the | |
| lawsuit launched by the Klassen family against the police, social service and the justice | |
| department. In this lawsuit, the Klassens are asking "punitive and exemplary damages | |
| in an amount exceeding $10,000,000.00 or in such amount as this Honourable Court | |
| deems just(2)." Finally, we have a lawsuit including punitive damages and it is time that | |
| the justice of common law takes over the nofault administration of our governmental | |
| agencies. | |
|
|
|
|
justice |
We have been documenting for sometime the decadent state of our democracy and the |
| related need to take charge of our rights as individuals. Therefore, I applaud the Klassens | |
| for pursuing this course of justice for themselves but above all for all of us, and | |
| re-establish the principle that we must not tolerate any fraudalent behaviour from our | |
| governmental administration, especially from the police, social service and the justice | |
| department. | |
