To the Right Honourable Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada:
To the Right Honourable Dalton McGuinty, Premier of Ontario
:
To the Right Honourable David Miller, Mayor of Toronto: 




We, the Resource to Empower Societal Safety in Canada Uniting Everyone (RESSCUE) - representing the South Asian Malayalee Community of the Greater Toronto Area, in support of all the 'concerned citizens' of Canada,  respectfully submit this petition to the Right Honourable Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, to the Right Honourable Dalton McGuinty, Premier of Ontario, and  to the Right Honourable David Miller, Mayor of Toronto demanding an  immediate action to protect Canadian citizens from known, violent sex offenders who are being released into the community without appropriate supervision or any warning to the communities in which such criminals are being released:



Two  Canadian Citizens of the South Asian community, Mrs. Saramma Varghese and Ms. Susan John, former residents of 81 Rotary Drive, were brutally killed on October 13, 2008. Ms. Sarah John, a third victim, survived the suspect's attacks, although the horrendous murder of her grand-mother and mother will haunt her for the rest of her life.



            While we regret the fact that the government did not even send a representative to offer words of condolence at either the Wake or Funeral Services of the deceased, we write to express our grave concern about the Law and Order Situation. The Law and Order situation has not only created an environment which fosters criminals and deviants to perpetuate crimes of violence without fear of recourse but also has systematically failed innocent bystanders thereby transforming these good neighbours into victims and orphans.



            To this end, as members of the great social fabric called Canada, we DEMAND  the following:



  1. A thorough review of why the suspect, who was charged in connection with heinous sexual crimes and other forms of violence was released on bail without proper monitoring and surveillance.
  2. Furthermore, we demand to know why he was to allowed to live in a community in which there were other potential victims. While we believe in justice and the rights of those who are accused, this must be mitigated by the nature of the accusations and charges that have been brought about through judicial due process and the investigative efforts of our Police Department.

  3. An inquiry as to the circumstances and conditions of the suspect's bail.

  4. With reference to the aforementioned, we would like to know the record of the "bail granting" judicial mechanism and the rationale behind granting bail to people accused of deviant crimes.

            As a collective group consisting of "faith and community based" organizations, we understand and believe in the power of redemption, intervention, and assistance. We recognize the need for psychological and psychiatric treatment for criminals who necessitate these tools. However, we also believe that it is the function of the government to protect the innocent. The question is whether or not the government has lived up to this most basic of responsibilities.



            We look forward to the creation of a public inquiry in this matter and we offer our support in enabling the work of justice in our society.

I cannot believe the Canadian government would allow this person to live in a community and not warn unsuspecting, innocent people what a danger this person is. This crime was 100% preventable.

Toronto needs to have stricter laws and enforcment of courts to prevent innnocent poeple like these ladies from getting killed. Such mentally deranged people should never be allowed to mingle with society. These people are born mental and should be in mental asylum getting treatment. Why was this guy allowed to roam freely on parol? The court and the Toronto authorites are responsible for this.

A online publically accessable "sex offender" registry should be available in Canada. So that people will know and keep a vigil on any unusal/suspicious activity around. Though we all respect privacy and wish goodwill, but any unusal/suspicious activity should be taken in the light of the situation. Unless this information is publically available it would be difficult for the people to judge the situation. Government should have laws, "requiring" officials to find ways to warn neighbors when known sex offenders move into a neighborhood. For eg. in USA there is Megan's Law (http://meganslaw.com/) for child sex offenders. Does Canada have any such kind of sex offenders registry? Does the police/town official warn/inform the community about offenders moving into the community?

First of all I would like to say that my heart goes out to all the families that have been affected by this tragedy. What happened is not an isolated incident. It affects all of us in every way shape and form. These people could have been anyone one of our aunts, sisters, cousins, mothers or grandmothers. Just because it did not happen to us personally does not mean that it could not happen nor that we can or should just take it as just another tragedy. The government needs to take an active step to prevent cases such as this one from reoccurring. Stop infusing money into unnecessary government projects and raises for government officials and start taking care of the people that placed you within the government to begin with. To many tragedies are occurring in Toronto involving repeat offenders, that says a lot. The CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE CHANGED IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF AVERAGE WORKING GOOD HEARTED CITIZENS!!! Please stop talking about these issues and actually make an effort to do something about the laws and various systems such as our legal system in Toronto! Actions speak so much louder than words...

In the morning hours of Monday October 13, the brutal crime committed in the Scarborough area resulting in the deaths of two innocent women (a mother and daughter) has shocked the peace loving Christian minority community from South India. Three lives are destroyed forever; with a young daughter left behind to cohabit in this world; permanently scarred for life. Many a series of questions remain unanswered: Why was the accused set free in the first place with serious offences on record? How was such a heinous crime committed by a repeat sexual offender, under conditions of bail? Is the justice system only about the human rights of the accused? Are there are no measures in place to secure the safety of innocent citizens due to the unleashing of criminals back into the social setup? Why weren't the neighbours and residents informed / alerted regarding the release of the accused back into the area? How many more lives must be destroyed until the justice system finally decides to condemn / de-bar such individuals from the social front? Acts of violence and atrocity against helpless innocent citizens cannot be tolerated at any level of the society. The time has come for the Federal and Provincial Government to send a strong message to the anti social elements. On behalf of all concerned citizens irrespective of race and creed, I urge the government machinery to review the law and seal the loop holes that allow such harmful leaks into the society; before any more valuable lives are lost to people who have no regard for life or living!
