I have been honoured to have courageous conversations with Nadine Ness, a former RCMP officer trained in profiling and interviewing s*xual predators - this would include those who are pedophiles and those who aren't.
Nadine learned how s*x offenders think, how they behave and what we can expect from them. Nadine is well versed in the history of pe******ia, the symbols and code language used, and the attempts to normalize it in society.

Below is just a 16-minute snippet of one of our conversations, recorded on November 22, 2023.

You can find the full video here:
https://youtu.be/r8JhR3bE6bI
where we have a courageous conversation about everything from the voting system, Nadine's experience with abuse, the role the school boards' currently play in putting our children at potential risk of s*xual exploration, and how we can unify in standing up to protect our kids!

Here is the video we refer to a few times, by Nadine: Planned Parenthood and its affiliated partners in schools exposed! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ3eK-0RpSo

Thank you for all of the good work you do, Nadine🙏

To all of the parents and teachers out there who have said and continue to say:
"Oh, we have 'bigger' problems at our school."
whenever the topic of s*xualization of children or pe******ia or p**n in books comes up...
..I challenge you to a debate on that.

More and more people are 👀!
More and more people are asking 'NOW WHAT!?'
Some have tried reasoning with the publicly funded schooled systems.....some want to see change within it... and ..some want to get the heck out. now!

People have been demoralized.
It's time.🕯️
It's time to be empowered!

It's time people understood that the power is within them - and we all have a role, no matter where you are, no matter where you want to be... there are options. And there is a purpose for you.

If you want to know how to better navigate the current school system (public and Catholic), know your options in order to leave it, or formulate connection and community among those who are already seeking other options, come on out to the School Options Open House and Info Night!

Monday, January 8th - Doors open at 5:30pm, speakers start at 6:30, event closes at 9:30!

Registration is now open:

If you consent. Do nothing.

👀If you do not and/or want more info in order to obtain informed consent, perhaps think about sending out a message to your principal.

Here is the one I just send to my kids' principal 👇

Hi ​___[principal's name]______,

I hope this school year is treating you well. The kids are enjoying this year and our teachers have been amazing! Thank you for your leadership.

It was brought to my attention that the WRDSB corp. has sent out to the staff, the following message:

[Images below]

My questions are:
- What is ​__[school name]___doing to provide opportunities 'to learn about the transgender people'?

- What is ​our school doing to 'highlight their contributions throughout history'?

- What is ​________doing to 'advance advocacy towards eliminating discrimination and violence that impact the transgender community'?

- What 'lessons' are being led 'about the transgender community and their history'?

- Do ​______teachers receive guidance as to how to approach these topics?

- Would I need to reach out to each of the teachers separately to know what each class may be participating in?

I realize how cumbersome this has become, __[principal's name]____. And for that, I do apologize. I have a duty to be informed of what is entering my children's minds.

I appreciate your openness and transparency.

With gratitude,
Cristina
