There is not only Yvan Delorme who voluntarily blindness...
Hello Richard Martineau
I am writing this open letter response to your article about the willful blindness of SPVM chief, Yvan Delorme, which takes only a modest glass of water to extinguish a fire.
I followed your recent series of articles on relations between police and citizens in the borough of Montreal North, and it reminded me so the setbacks that we have in Deux-Montagnes, and more specifically, the district Grand Moulin. Such a beautiful area rich in history of 150 years in which I grew will soon become a ghetto if nothing is done.
I live for almost 26 years on rue St. Jude, I saw faces a primary school English, the school St. Jude, and I do not recognize me more. We, me and my neighbors have to deal 6 years to degenerate parents who overprotect their "child kings," intimidate citizens to be parked anywhere, even in private entrances, and threatening us "break Hangover French Canadian or unionized or lower class" if we bitch to be stationed elsewhere because their parking is provided.
It is hard to believe that parents are threats to neighbors in a school while there are only 20 minutes per day on average per parent. Yet it is. When parents seek children late in the day, it is not uncommon in my driveway I received blows bumper on my legs, because a parent was too lazy to continue the street and return by another street and then retrace his steps, have decided to turn in my entry to turn back. I considered these moves bumper on my shins, such as assault, intimidation and violation of privacy.
I counted the time it happened 28 times from February 2003 up to January 2008. In many times I heard by the down window of the car a parent say the game next to her child: "You see how we cup the big guy? Like that. I've paid for your education that you can succeed in life, so you can become a boss, so the little people, you pisse on it and you cup it, with your bumper." Whenever I called the police, 5 times she came.
Let the last paragraph. You hear a parent say that to her child, the hair stands on your arm and you goosebumps. You had previously published articles and stories about young children kings and particularly on young people in Quebec who had been in a family in Mexico, they had the mayhem on their return they were suspended by the school, and parents bitch. And now here are the social hierarchy most hate is taught, probably not by the school, but some parents at home. Many testimonies can support what I say.
Last year in September, I was with 3 friends of the college that I had not seen for a long time. Two young people between 10 and 11 years traveling by bicycle, and asked me if as the year before I commit to pick the leaves in the fall. Suddenly, a parent traveling at 90 km / h, because one of my friends is controller for the SAAQ road and has the speed tell me, just park in a "no parking" picks his young, the "pitch" in the vehicle and violently s'enfuis at high speed, while striking both young, later, about 50km / h, everything in a school zone, 30km / h, without stopping, therefore, hit and run. Fortunately, the 2 younger than 3 had scratches each.
Of course, I called the police and the parents of 2 youth in question. At the Deux-Montagnes police station they said me this: "Mr. Chartrand, mind your fucking business", despite an accident on my property, even if the motorist has missed me and my 3 friends.
Four days later, the same olibrius returned, traveling at more than 60 km / h repeating the same scenario, I would say it was slow for retyping other children and still make a hit and run. Suddenly, when to restart his car, he stopped to pick up his hockey stick in his bag. Then he took me in hunting on my property at the curb and struck me violently 4 times in the head in front of horrified neighbors and he shouted: "I 'll fucking kill you, and you 'll shut your mouth. " He escaped me for having broken his hockey stick when it hit me. This time, the police came, and yes, after 10 minutes. And a complaint has been completed.
Last June, we had around a wave of theft and infringement of entry in shacks, more than 120 complaints were made. The police responded very well to complaints that time, especially since a suspect was in my backyard the next evening. I called and they came in 2 minutes. Unfortunately the suspect wanted to cut the lock on my shed was saved.
Most recently on July 31 last year, I found one of my cats below a removable terminal recalling the maximum speed of 30 km / h located in the middle of the street. Fortunately, my cat was alive and good health. The police had not moved this time.
On 10 August, at the same time the riots in Montreal North, several bins were overturned and vandalized by youths and syringes have been found. No one was injured by syringes, police moved. The officer showed a strong professionalism and called the citizens of the district vigilance and me very well said that despite the many times I called to the police station, I had done well.
That evening, a few hours earlier, a english woman at 4 houses from home, was threatened at the tip of a knife and had run out of rocks at the window by 2 young francophone 13 and 14 years in the questioning of "fucking english female," a woman who is involved in the neighborhood. Fortunately she was not injured, but his quiet is achieved forever.
The area is most affected by juvenile delinquency but the street is more affected by parental delinquency. The police can not be everywhere at once, but it can not play hide and seek. It can do the job of a social worker, but she still can not play doormat. A Neighborhood Watch is desired by many citizens. But huge obstacles remain to be
Stay tuned ...
Remember accept Sincerely,
