Report suspicions

Of child abuse

Canadians don't have to
diagnose child abuse in order
to report it--they only have
to suspect it, says the head of
the child-abuse team at
Hospital for Sick Children in:
Toronto.

Dr. Robert Bates says that
reporters of abuse can
remain anonymous if they
choose and are protected
from lawsuit if proven
wrong—unless the report
had malicious intent.

Bates listed a bad bruise, a
black eye or an ugly cut on a
child’s face as signals of pos-
sible abuse that might
warrant a to the
Children’s Aid Society.

The doctor cautioned that
some injuries can be caused

caused when the child’s age
is considered.

Other signals to watch for

—A bruised child who is
emotionally withdrawn and
quiet or who whines and
cries at the thought of having
ta go home.

—A child relating a
detailed story of abuse. But
while sexual abuse is harder
to establish, Bates says,
“when a. three-yearold
describes a sexual act in ex-

cit detail it's not likely to

a fabrication.”

While “I will do it

phrase in English and other
languages of Western
nociety, the Inult say what

“T have an intention toward

Swampy Cree tribe. His
three children have Indian
names on their birth cer-.
tlficates, two Mohawk and
one Ojibwa, Ovens is known
as John of the Turtle Clan.
RESPOND TO EMOTIONS

He says the Indians are a
more feéling people and re-
spond te their emotions. For
an individual who has
developed his extra-sensory
perception during the past
eight years, feeling - is
something special to Ovens,

Not that ESP is something
special, a gift to be only had
by certain individuals. It’s in
everyone, he says. '

"It's like an unused
muscle, it is here to be

willized.”

He says it has been proven
that energy fields exist
around every. living
organism. If a healthy leaf is
placed near an unhealthy
one, the latter is healed by a
transfer of energy... Ovens
believes it is this same
transfer of energy which
allows psychic healers to
cure patients,

He credits the popularity
of ESP and the recent up-
surge in church attendance

for some of her illustrations.
