October to December 1996: During this period, my grandchildren, Jonathan and Charlene Dobson, were in their mother’s care. As I have told you, I began to have serious concerns about the children. I telephoned protection services, asking them to investigate my concerns about their being neglected and even being abused. So they had Charlene examined at the beginning of December, and a parental agreement was put in place for my daughter. My worries continued, as described in my legal documents.
March 22, 1997: My husband and I took Charlene into our care and Jonathan was brought to us less than 72 hours later. An investigation due to the allegations began.
Physical injuries were found on their bodies by me and Dr. Ruthnum, a pediatrician who examined Charlene a couple of nights earlier. I just happened not to see them or ignore them since they were never documented. I was present when he came to the emergency late in the evening, and he was in a hurry.
I noted that he never examined her body. I called him back to examine her ankles, as I noted bruising and sores on them. In poor light, he looked at the outside of her right ankle, noted a sore healing, and claimed it was impetigo.
She had no impetigo at that time as a primary lesion would likely be found on another area, such as around the mouth, nose or genitalia-diaper area and not on ankles. So it was when I was bathing Charlene a day or so later I noticed more injuries on her body. I also examined Jonathan, who was now with us. Jonathan was seven months old. I discovered triangular shape marks on his upper back, which were like Charlene’s, except they were superficial. The bruised marks around his ankles were more pronounced than Charlene’s.

After all of this, Protection Services were working with Destiny through a parental agreement 'to get her children back,' denying that she'd hurt her children and was 'a risk' to them. They even discounted Destiny's mental health diagnosis, stating, 'We never saw her dissociate or have alter personalities'.
I was traumatized myself. I knew I had to do something positive to help young adults' at risk' like my daughter. I was grieving the loss of my relationship with my daughter but was grieving more for Charlene and Jonathan losing their mother because I had to protect them for her.
So I focused on developing an 'intensive, holistic, integrated program' to offer rehabilitation to those like Destiny who could become safe, nurturing and loving parent(s) and break the cycles of addictions, crime, broken lives and families. If they lost their children, they'd have an opportunity 'to get their children back.' The programs available were only band-aid solutions. This program would be an ongoing 10-month course, where milestones would be reached as they healed and became grounded /stable.
I realized that she and those like her would never get their children back without such a program.
Both Charlene and Jonathan had defunct fathers. My grandchildren now had no mother or father. I was estranged from my daughter, seeing no reconciliation in the near future, and our grief was raw, and we needed HELP – not more grief.
Anchorage Counselling & Rehabilitation Center Inc.
The idea for The Anchorage Counselling & Rehabilitation Center Inc. was founded in 1992. This picture is the East Quoddy lighthouse on the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick, Canada, that became our logo. Our place was to be a refuge where our clients, participants, and their families could feel secure and safe while they healed as 'the bruised reeds' of our nation.
The travesty is that in the end, this ministry and their cohorts ensured The Anchorage would 'go under' along with us, and it became a 'den of thieves' representing chaos and heartache. Two rehabilitation programs operated from this organization.
The first program was called A Focus on the Future-Guiding the Young (1998-1999). This program was very successful but was boycotted by the Minister of Social Services, who maligned me/us to their federal funding partner, Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC), as detailed in my attached legal documents.
The second program was called Healing the Nation-One Family At A Time (2000-2002). The Saskatchewan Ministry of Social Services poisoned the Federal counterpart who funded this program, Canadian Heritage concerning the Lowerys. So their vendetta continued and without getting into it affects us to date. All the details are within my legal documents attached.
These government funding agencies did not consider that Aboriginal leadership and youth actually chose our programs to receive funding. The majority of the participants benefited immensely. Yet, it was more important to 'play politics' and 'get rid of me' and bring down The Anchorage.
This is a copy of the brochure for the program Healing the Nation-One Family At a Time. The evaluation of the program may be attached later. *A full bound copy of it is on the court file for anyone to see.
The logo on the brochure depicts the inter-cultural emphasis for this program with a focus on a target group of at-risk First Nations/Aboriginal young adults with families.' The blacklisting was now 'ramped up' when this ministry realized it was I who was once again operating a rehab program on government funding.
So this ministry, who 'had a bone-to-pick' with me because of my stance with them on the protection of my grandchildren,' headed up' a coup. * Note the definition of coup as stated by Dictionary.com: noun, "coup in battle by a single warrior, as touching or striking an enemy /warrior without sustaining injury oneself."
Their attack was like that of a 'wolverine’-vicious, unsuspecting and lethal!
