It’s been 500 days since I made my criminal complaint to @SaskatoonPolice about the pre-rebranded @miletwo_church, Christian Centre Academy & Christian Centre Ministries. 🧵#LegacyOfAbuse
As a student group, we decided to go public to the media in August w/ the help of @WarickCBC. This decision was based on length of time the Justice system takes, and the fact there were/are minor children still around ALL of the named defendants in the lawsuit. #legacyofabuse
I made my complaint in June of 2021, and 17 former students also made complaints before the end of 2021. Grace Academy (John O former cca head) operated that whole school year. Once public, we found out there was criminal complaints against John O in 2015 & 2017. #LegacyOfAbuse
The systemic failings of the gov’s “don’t ask don’t tell” policy with QIS school’s, the Crown’s failings to want to put in the work to prosecute this man in 2015/2017, combined w/ Min of Ed failings when reports are made = perfect storm for abusers. #legacyofabuse
The fact a man can be fired from a school, the school doesn’t report it to the Min of Ed, the man goes to open his own school, criminal complaints & complaints to Min of Ed are made, & nothing is done. This is why we went public before waiting for another system to fail us.
