    It could happen at the sentencing in these matters which is happening in October (quote from article):

    Sentencing will be held in October. Ustaszewski’s passport is with the police and under his bail conditions he is not allowed to leave Ontario.

      Quote from the article:

      “He didn’t do anything wrong,” she said. “Yes, he did drive across the border, but he did not know why he drove me across the border. He did not know my intentions; he was unaware of them … he’s on heart medication, blood pressure medication, this is the last thing the man needs.”
      1. Court ordered Edyta Ustaszewski to return the passports of the two children in question to the court.

      2. Tadeusz Ustaszewski was very aware of the existing court orders and matters before the court prior to the children's unlawful removal in contravention of a custody order 282.(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada:

      Originally posted by Toronto Star
      Kenkel ruled that “he aided her, knowing it would deprive him (Stephen Watkins) of custody in contravention of a court order.”
      3. Not only did Edyta Ustaszewski assist in the criminal abduction of the two children in question but, aided in the civil contempt of an existing court order for custody and access as well.

      Reminding all Grandparents, friends, family members (Grandparents et all..), social workers, lawyers et all... :

      “If you’re going to assist in a child abduction, if you’re family or a friend, and you’re caught, you’re going to face penalties,” Stephen Watkins said after the verdict.
      Please do insure Stephen that this decision when posted is brought to the attention of Carswell Law and the other Law Reporting services that lawyers often subscribe to.

      My recommendation would be to contact Phil Epstein directly:

      Philip is the Editor-in-Chief of the Reports in Family Law and co-author of Epstein and Madsen's This Week in Family law, published by Carswell.
      Epstein Cole LLP : : lawyer profiles

      It would be wonderful to see a proper review in "This Week in Family law" on this very relevant matter.

      Good Luck!

        Other questions, when you have the time, that would be relevant to members of this forum:

        1. In your Family Law proceedings before the Superior Court of Ontario did Edyta Ustaszewski receive any publicly funded moneys from Legal Aid Ontario? (i.e. A Legal Aid Ontario Certificate)

        Izyuk v. Bilousov, 2011 ONSC 7476 (CanLII)
        Date: 2011-12-16
        Docket: F2172/09
        URL: CanLII - 2011 ONSC 7476 (CanLII)
        Citation: Izyuk v. Bilousov, 2011 ONSC 7476 (CanLII)

        Originally posted by Izyuk v. Bilousov, 2011 ONSC 7476 (CanLII)
        1. The popular beverage has a catchy slogan: “Red Bull gives you wings.”

        2. But at this costs hearing, the self-represented Respondent father suggested a wry variation: “Legal Aid gives you wings.”

        3. He now seeks costs in relation to a 17 day custody trial which resulted in my 606 paragraph judgment dated November 9, 2011. He won; sole custody. The Applicant mother was represented by counsel. Her poor finances qualified her for Legal Aid. Now she says those same poor finances should excuse her from paying costs.

        4. The Respondent asks a valid question: Does she have wings? Can she do whatever she wants in court, without ever worrying about fees – hers or anyone else’s?
        2. Would it be possible to provide a time line of your court proceedings before the family court, including the presiding justice and court jurisdiciton in the Family Law and Family Services matters? (From the initial Application to the court to the final order prior to the abduction of your children in contravention of CCC 282.(1) by their Grandfather and mother.)

        For example:
        1. On -date- the Applicant (mother) brought forward an emergency motion before the superior court, -court name-:

        Requesting: sole custody, supervised access, etc... (what was requested in the motion, just a summary)

        Resulting in the order: whatever the judge ordered in the matter (just a summary of the resulting order)

        etc...

        If you don't have time, if you could provide the court file number to your family law proceedings I could assemble one based out of the notice of motions/cross motions and resulting orders if provided the court file number if you would like.

        One thing to consider in your matter overall is the possible systemic issues related to false allegations of intimate partner abuse and how the court system and government services such as Legal Aid Ontario are leveraged to psychologically abuse the other parent, children and their family.

        Making false allegations of abuse and the abduction of children are both recognized forms of psychological abuse. Have you investigated possibly bringing forward criminal assault charges of psychological abuse?

        I note that the Honourable Mr. Justice Pazaratz states in para. 418 in Izyuk v. Bilousov, 2011 ONSC 6451 (CanLII):

        418. Creating a favourable status quo through falsehood and misrepresentation is not just a matter of litigation strategy: It is often tantamount to child abuse. It goes to the heart of “best interests” considerations; Parental judgment; The ability to sacrifice self-interest for the sake of the child; Awareness of the child’s need to have maximum contact with both parents.
        tan·ta·mount/ˈtantəˌmount/
        Adjective: Equivalent in seriousness to; virtually the same as: "the resignations were tantamount to an admission of guilt"

        The Polish and EU courts need to consider the wise words of the Honourable Justice Pazaratz when considering your children's "best interests" and the fact that the court of competent jurisdiction has already ordered in the matter.

        The Honourable Justice Joseph Kenkel made a strong statement about the false allegations made against you by the mother and grandfather:

        Originally posted by Toronto Star
        Kenkel noted that their allegations of abuse by Stephen Watkins were not credible.
        Furthermore, the mother continues to make false allegations and excuses for her conduct which often many abducting parents make. There is a common pattern of "I didn't know what else to do" / "only way out" when removing children without consent or a court order in contravention of 283.(1) and 282.(1) of the CCC.

        This projection of blame is commonly identified by Dr. Lawson in her book "Understanding the Borderline Mother" against the "waif" archetype she defines in her book.

        This statement made by the mother in my personal opinion is very similar to the statements subjects for which Dr. Lawson has studied in the "waif" archetype:

        Originally posted by Toronto Star
        Reached at her home in Warsaw before the verdict, Edyta Ustaszewski said the abduction was her “only way out,” and she has no regrets.
        Originally posted by Toronto Star
        Much is being said about other matters. Watkins shows his phone screen outside of court, with a page of text messages from his ex-wife.

        One of the most recent: “Leave my daddy alone.
        When the borderline mother's motto is "Life is too hard"
        http://behavioralhealth.typepad.com/...he-border.html

        Originally posted by Understanding the Borderline Mother
        "Loss or abandonment can trigger psychotic reactions. Abandonment or rejection by her partner arouses rage in the Waif, as she seeks to annihilate the one who failed to love her perfectly." p. 72
        Acting on her feelings of "loss or abandonment" or "rejection", the mother and her father (grandfather) first attempted to possibly use the Family courts to psychologically abuse you and "annihilate" your relationship with your children and finally in what I consider to be a significant element, escalated their psychologically abusive conduct and unlawfully abducted the children.

        In my personal opinion, the Honourable Justice calls out the psychological abuse for which the mother and grandfather clearly plotted and conducted against you with intent to psychologically harm you in an attempt to annihilate your relationship with your sons:

        Originally posted by Toronto Star
        Kenkel ruled that “he aided her, knowing it would deprive him (Stephen Watkins) of custody in contravention of a court order.”
        Criminal Code

        Originally posted by Criminal Code of Canada
        “serious personal injury offence” means

        (a) an indictable offence, other than high treason, treason, first degree murder or second degree murder, involving

        (i) the use or attempted use of violence against another person, or

        (ii) conduct endangering or likely to endanger the life or safety of another person or inflicting or likely to inflict severe psychological damage on another person, and for which the offender may be sentenced to imprisonment for ten years or more, or

        (b) an offence or attempt to commit an offence mentioned in section 271 (sexual assault), 272 (sexual assault with a weapon, threats to a third party or causing bodily harm) or 273 (aggravated sexual assault).
        Due note that there are no statues of limitations to the best of my knowledge for assault.

          Lawyer Help to Amend New National Law

          Hi,
          I am looking for a list of Lawyers and their contact information in Canada we can contact that can help amend the high profile iCHAPEAU law our group of Canadian parents wants to petition for its submission in Canada. The Laws are already created but amendments are required. Arrangements have already been made by the Government of Canada to review this proposed law. This would be provided by the law firm / layer as a courtesy support that would provide them an honorable mention in this campaign. Parents of multiple high profile cases will help across Canada to get national media coverage. Thanks for contacting me.

            Hello Stephen:

            One thing you may want to consider is the concept of an open source model for editing/updating the proposed "iCHAPEAU Act".

            There are many services on the internet that allow for group editing of documentation for which many in the community may be interested in contributing to.

            You could simply expand on the idea of "crowdsourced development" used to develop the Fedora user guide. You could apply a similar concept to "crowd sourced" drafting of the proposed "iCHAPEAU Act". If you can find an appropriate technology to do it you could simply get the entire list of registered solicitors and other important folks and send out form letters requesting they contribute with a guide and instruction on how to contribute.

            You can also leverage Twitter, Facebook, Media and other channels to raise awareness to the cause. I would also encourage you to reach out to those in the Open Source community (such as the ones who executed the project below) to seek technical assistance on how this can all be done.

            As edits are integrated into the "iCHAPEAU Act" the contributing authors would get acknowledgement for the work they have done. Furthermore, it could possibly demonstrate the support of the legal community for what is being proposed and bring significant weight to your efforts.

            Fedora's crowdsourced open source documentation achievement | TechRepublic

            Three days. Four hundred participants. One book. That’s the tag line for what would eventually become the first-ever crowdsourced book for an operating system. The event happened at this years FUDCON and the results are quite impressive - a twelve chapter book that covers everything on the Fedora desktop (from KDE/GNOME to installing software to the history and community of Fedora).
            If social media can over throw a government... Why can't it be leveraged to assist in changing law?

              Thanks for the idea - We need to post the law first but have it converted into Canadian - this is why I am looking for Lawyers here in Canada. These existing laws are already implemented in the US so Politically speaking, its would be easier for our government to back it up as already being used which between two countries, could be now a North American indicative.

                Chance for edyta ustaszewska to make things right

                CHANCE FOR EDYTA USTASZEWSKA TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT –
                Edyta Ustaszewska (Watkins) has been offered an option by the Criminal Judge here in Canada and agreed by the crown and her father’s defense lawyer. This option was reached after her father, Tadeusz Ustaszewski, was found guilty in assisting his daughter in the International Parental Child Abduction of Alexander Watkins (Alias: Alek Ustaszewski ) & Christopher Watkins (Alias: Krzysztof Ustaszewski ) from Canada into the United States. She then flew to Germany and later found in Warsaw, Poland two and a half years later. The guilty verdict was passed in the Canadian Courts on August 23, 2012. I believe, the defense lawyer has been in contact with her directly to Poland. We are waiting for Edyta’s decision.

                (PHOTO: Stephen Watkins, Alexander Watkins, Christopher Watkins and Edyta Watkins ( Ustaszewska ) are briefly reunited in Poland for Alexander's First Communion, which took place in May 2012 while the boys' father was appealing a Polish court's decision ordering them to stay in the country after being abducted internationally.)
                LINK: PRESS RELEASE | Facebook

                To find her father guilty, the Canadian Judge had to make certain and ruled that Edyta Ustaszewska (Watkins) had broken Canadian Law's of Child Abduction. Here is the agreement proposed - Edyta can either decide to come home with the boys or send the boys back to Canada themselves and she remains in Poland. When the boys come home to Canada, her father will not have to face jail time and only have the sentence of probation assigned to his record.

                If she refuses this option, her father will serve the mandatory jail time which will be sentenced on October 24th, 2012. Her name will continue to appear on the RCMP's Canada's Most Wanted List and remained flagged on INTERPOL as a "Red Notice" as well as “Yellow Notices” for our sons for the rest of her life.

                There will always be a risk that if Poland ever changes their laws or new treaties are signed amongst our nations, Edyta could be arrested and extradited back to Canada years from now to face the Canadian courts. It is my understanding that the recognized Polish National Missing Children’s organization, ITAKA, who set precedence by attending a Polish court session for the first time in their 13 year history with my appeal in Poland, is campaigning for news laws and regulations in Poland.

                This is NO ONES FAULT but her OWN as she acknowledges openly of involving her father in driving her and our sons into the United States in her own plans to abduct our sons to Europe then to Poland. It does not matter if her father knew or did not know her plans as she keeps stating "He is innocent" on social media. It is irrelevant due to the fact that the Canadian Judge reviewed all the evidence and statements from her own father, the police, as well as previous court rulings and ruled that her father knew enough information of the custody situation / arrangement. Edyta’s father still failed to return our sons back to school the following Monday morning on March 9, 2009, as he had already done so many times before, following the weekend access visit order with their mother.

                I was granted full custody of our sons by the Ontario Courts on January 26, 2009 and after they have lived with me full time since 2007. Edyta was provided an access schedule order by the courts which provided her even more time then I had with our sons in our earlier schedules when our sons were living with her initially.

                The fate of her father now solely lies on the shoulders of Edyta. She NOW has the power to choose to fix her mistakes of a decision she made on her own, having our sons growing up not properly knowing their biological father and the rest of their family who all live in Canada. The decision is now hers as to whether or not her father serves jail time.

                Our sons will read this one day and they WILL know the truth of what really has happened and no amount of coaching and brain washing she believes she can force on them will hide the fact that I as their father have fought terribly hard to be part of my sons lives and have them returned home to Canada. I WILL not stop and I will continue to fight for our sons Human Rights and continue to bring awareness of our family’s story publicly world-wide and to the European Union courts to have the country of Poland ordered to return our abducted sons back home to Canada.

                If Edyta truly believes that her "father is innocent" then I hope she will take the responsibility for her mistakes and make the right decision and send Alexander Watkins and Christopher Watkins back home to their habitual country of Canada where they were born and have lived most of their lives.

                A better decision would be for Edyta to return to Canada with our sons, face the consequences of her actions by the Canadian courts where she may have to serve some jail time but at least after all is said and done - she would still be part of our sons lives and our boys growing up knowing and having a relationship with BOTH their mother and father.

                Every child has a mother and a father and there are NO WINNERS in these types of International Parental Child Abduction cases. The Children are the real losers in these situations but there is STILL an opportunity here, which only Edyta can make, to make things right for her father and our two sons.

                In my opinion, the best scenario for the boys is coming home to Canada with their mother, being loved by all their family and all their relatives who miss them dearly and having a relationship with both their mother and father in the long run. Our sons deserve to know that all their family is important. They deserve to feel the love from both sides. I hope Edyta takes time to reflect and review this option as I know it must be hard for her to keep all of these stresses on her shoulders for all these years. I believe, it would also be the best solution for the mental well being of our sons.

                Respectfully,
                STEPHEN WATKINS

                  Have you investigated how NAFTA could potentially be leveraged? Long shot recommendation but, there may be something that gives weight to your argument for enforcement of laws between both countries or something obscure that could be leveraged to make what you have from the US more "valid". Real long shot recommendation.

                  The lawyers you could target in assisting in the "Canadianization" through a cloudsourced open document solution could be Canadian solicitors. No reason you can't target market directly to them. I am sure there is a list somewhere that has all the lawyers across Canada and their emails.

                  Good Luck!

                    In the Ruling against the father was it stated that Edyta Ustaszewska acted with "mens rea" (lat. "Guilty Mind") by the presiding judge in the matter before the court?

                    I really would like a copy of the judges decision if possible in this matter to review. Please insure that it is posted to CanLII as soon as possible so the president can be reviewed. This case represents a significant turning point in parental child abductions in our country.

                    Parental abduction is a deplorable form of child abuse and the CCC, CLRA, Divorce Act and all provincial laws need to clearly state parental abduction as a form of child abuse in my honest opinion.

                    Is it possible to clarify what the mandatory sentence of incarceration would be in this matter? 282.(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada doesn't state a "mandatory" criteria and only a "maximum" criteria of 10 years and it is on an "indictable offence".

                    It appears that the justice in the matter still has to determine if the conviction is going to be an "indictable offence" or a "summary conviction" dependent on the return of the children to their habitual residence (Canada).

                    Section 282

                    (1) [ Abduction in contravention of custody order ]

                    Every one who, being the parent, guardian or person having the lawful care or charge of a person under the age of fourteen years, takes, entices away, conceals, detains, receives or harbours that person, in contravention of the custody provisions of a custody order in relation to that person made by a court anywhere in Canada, with intent to deprive a parent or guardian, or any other person who has the lawful care or charge of that person, of the possession of that person is guilty of

                    (a) an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years, or
                    (b) an offence punishable on summary conviction.
                    Thank-you for taking the time to update everyone regarding this matter,

                      (Your ideas and suggestions - Please comment below)
                      So here is MY QUESTION - On May 15th, 2012 the media asked an important and well crafted "worded" question about my sons International Parental Child Abduction case to two world leaders, the Prime Minister of Canada and Poland. There has never been an international child abduction case where two world leaders have been put in a position to comment on such an international social issue.

                      The PM of Canada, STEPHEN HARPER, replied the following as part of his statement:
                      ".. the matter is before the courts.."

                      The PM of Poland, DONALD TUSK, described some sort of custody dispute in his answer which had NOTHING to do with the "Hague Convention Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction" which is the Legal Application filed by Canada in the Polish Courts. The Hague Convention is an international mechanism to return abducted children back to their habitual country after the crime of child abduction has been committed. It’s NOT a custody dispute – It’s an International Abduction Treaty!

                      On August 23, 2012, a Canadian Judge has ruled that my son’s case is NO LONGER just considered and "Alleged Abduction" as the Ontario Criminal Courts ruled that my ex-wife is in breach of Canadian Laws and her father has been found "GUILTY" in assisting my sons International Parental Child Abduction. His sentencing is scheduled for October 24, 2012.

                      Also take note that we have evidence to show that the Polish Courts may have broken 4-treaties with our country of Canada in this case.

                      ? - What is the Prime Minister of Canada going to do to get my sons home?

                      ? - Exactly - Why have no other politicians in Canada said anything in this matter considering the Criminal Court ruling made here in Canada?

                      The fight to get my two abducted sons home is NOT over even though I feel like I am only one Canadian man fighting another nation on his own. Where is the support from our Canadian Government?

                      I am drafting a new letter to the Prime Minister of Canada asking him this question and you will be completely surprised on two other people who are also receiving a copies of this letter.

                      Keep watching this link for the release of this letter to the PM in the next few weeks.

                      Your comments and suggestions are welcomed!

                      No Parent should ever have to work this hard to get their Missing / Abducted children home. Thank-You for your support!

                        Hi Stephen,

                        The Conservative Party has promised Canadians as part of their election campaign to get tough on crime. This was part of the Omnibus bill.

                        Conservatives’ omnibus crime bill clears Commons | News | National Post

                        So where are they on getting "tough" on this now with regards to the criminal conduct of the two people in question? They made a promise to Canadian citizens to "get tough on crime" but, where are they when citizens of Canada, whom were abducted from their habitual residence and are now being held hostage by another country?

                        Your children didn't end up in Poland on consent or court order - they were taken in CONTRAVENTION of a court order and long standing conduct identified as CRIMINAL by the Criminal Code of Canada.

                        Your children Canadian citizens who were abducted from their habitual and primary residence of Ontario, Canada and the perpetrators of this crime have been convicted of this crime.

                        Not only does this represent criminal conduct in the actions taken against you as a parent but, a malicious form of *child abuse* and *psychological abuse* has been conducted in accordance with the Criminal Code of Canada.

                        In the wise words of Honourable Mr. Justice Pazaratz in Izyuk v. Bilousov, 2011 ONSC 6451 (CanLII):

                        Creating a favourable status quo through falsehood and misrepresentation is not just a matter of litigation strategy: It is often tantamount to child abuse. It goes to the heart of “best interests” considerations; Parental judgment; The ability to sacrifice self-interest for the sake of the child; Awareness of the child’s need to have maximum contact with both parents.
                        The Polish court is trying to argue that the "status quo" of your children's residence and it is in their best interests to remain in Poland. This is hogwash in that as clearly identified in <> by the Honourable Mr. Justice Pazaratz, that this kind of conduct needs to be dealt with or it will continue:

                        If past behaviour is a predictor of the future, assessors and courts have an obligation to address – and seriously sanction – common and predictable strategic behaviours intended to create an inappropriate status quo.
                        So, if a Justice of the Superior Court in Canada can identify "common and predictable strategic behaviours" to create "status quo" then why can't the Polish court? What is their motivation to not act, as our justices in Canada who "have an obligation to address – and seriously sanction" this kind of behaviour?

                        Where is the Polish Canadian community on all of this? Where is their support to have these children returned to their rightful home, a home that they now share with your children?

                        My recommendation, is to use the words of our court system, posted in publicly accessible systems to communicate to our government that the courts here do not permit this kind of conduct and that they should expect other nations to do the same. Canada is a model for other nations and respected across the globe for equality of all citizens. Unfortunately your children, our citizens, are being held as political prisoners in my opinion.

                        Good Luck!

                          I'm not on Facebook but would be happy to sign a petition of any kind relating to this matter that is to be forwarded to Stephen Harper.

                          Same old story: if it happened to their kids or someone in their family there would be much swifter action.

                          My comment: What an incredibly lame, non-committal remark - cowardly even, by the Prime Minister of this Country.

                              Proposed Canadian iCHAPEAU Act Law - For those who are following my posts regarding bringing new laws here in Canada to help stop countries from harbouring and not returning our children after an international child abduction due to their non-complacencies of the Hague Convention Treaty as well as legislation implementation to stop international child abductions by a fleeing parent. I want to report that one of the laws we are going to try to implement here in Canada has just become LAW in California TODAY!

                              Here is the Post from Randy Collins who is the co-author of a law named after his abducted son (Keisuke's Law):

                              “IT IS OFFICIAL...The Governor has signed SB 1206, Keisuke's Law! It takes affect on January 1, 2013. I want to thank Senator Mimi Walters and her staff for their hard work for making Keisuke's Law a reality. I also want to thank all of my friends and family for their thoughts, prayers, and support. I am truly blessed.”

                              The proposed federal law called - CANADA's " iCHAPEAU " ACT - which stands for the:
                              International Child Harbouring & Abduction Prevention Enforcement Act Under-Law - would be made up of suggestions from Canadian parents and an amalgamation of several US laws being passed or already passed in the United States.

                              These are:

                              US FEDERAL LAW - LAW HR1940, David Goldman
                              US FEDERAL LAW - Prevent Departure Program (PIPCA)
                              California LAW - SB1206, Randy Collins
                              California LAW - FL 341b Form (Judges Check List)
                              Florida LAW - Child Abduction Prevention Act (CAPA), Carolyn Ann Vlk

                              Due to the fact that Canada may be 10 years behind in creation of laws to prevent child abductions from Canada, we need to take all the work and efforts by other parents dealing with international child abductions of their own children and keep the momentum going here in Canada to mirror US laws. It is a great to see that our parents of the iCHAPEAU Association are moving in the right direction.

                              Senator Mimi Walters wrote on her Facebook Wall on august 20th:

                              “SB 1206 Keisuke (or Case-K's) Law was approved by the Assembly 70-0, to attempt to prevent child abduction to foreign countries.”

                                Hi All,

                                I highly recommend everyone who's children have been removed in contravention of Section 283.(1) and 282.(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada view the video in this article in full.

                                Defiance of the Court: New Japanese Parental Abduction from Seattle Demonstrates the Need for New Preventive Regulation (Keisuke’s Law) | For Rui Boy

                                Parents, who have abducted their children in contravention of these laws should also view this video. Any parent, who's children are abducted through false hood and lies, even with "police assistance" (false allegations) need to view this material as well.

                                What Stephen is bringing forward is not just an "international" challenge. Parents are removing children, without consent or a court order and attempting to use "emergency" ex-party motions wrongfully to gain temporary custody and limited access to the other parent. (See Shaw v. Shaw as a concrete example and other threads on this site.)

                                Good Luck!
