Les Centres de la jeunesse et de la famille Batshaw - Batshaw Youth and Family Centres

They stepped in to a child custody case and sorted it out for the mother. The ink wasn't even dry in Civil court (50/50) when they ruined my life. They called themselves Social Workers...they weren't. They were so biased, it still bothers me 14 years later.

as a resident in a batshaw group home The staff are very very abusive and untrusted as everything you tell them they write it all down to use it against you in court and they never let you have freedom as they threaten to call the cops if you go outside for fresh air and they think they have full control over you well i been in the system since my early teens as im 16 now and im telling you this dont trust any group home staff or any batshaw worker as they will end up ruining you and your kids lifes i hope batshaw closes down to be very truthful #F*CKTHESYSTEM

There are some sick individuals that work at Batshaw social services, who are given the opportunity to prey on the youth and mentally ill, when they are alone, desperate, and at their most vulnerable...

In June 2016 I visited Batshaw with a view to seeing the "farm) for the last time for sentimental reasons (I was at the Boy's farm and training school in 1961). I attributed my stay there to teaching me the value of freedom and a benign form of incarceration that steered me from a life of juvenile crime to follow a straight and narrow path which kept me out of prison and led to prison sentences for most of my friends who were not caught committing crimes like I was. Very unfortunately I was not allowed to venture past the barrier to the parade grounds for a short visit. Not even if I were to remain in my rental car for a short circuit around the grounds. I could not understand this position as when it was the Boy's farm visits were common from boys who were there in the past. I am 69 years old now and very disappointed that I could not visit. It appears that the institution is now a locked down prison. I am quite sad that I could not relive the friendships that I had there in the past from my recollections and have a short visit. I can understand security but I came from Vancouver and did not know any of the inmates there. So congratulations BATSHAW you killed a boyhood memory for me and one less bucket list for me to experience before I die. This is what happens when you have inflexible regulations imposed by bureaucrats.
