Kelly McParland: Politics and the despair of Dana Chatwell
Posted: December 04, 2009, 3:00 PM by NP Editor

There is something about the despair and humiliation endured by Dana Chatwell and her husband David Brown at their home in Caledonia that's just impossible to comprehend. It's not just that an innocent, ordinary Canadian couple could be subjected to this kind of treatment, but that it could take place in plain view, with friends, neighbours, police and politicians watching, and continue nonetheless.

In a way it's like those appalling moments when people hear the screams of someone in distress, but are too fearful of their own safety to intervene. Except in this case the abuse went on and on, plenty long enough for people to know what was happening, consider the situation at length, and still not come to the rescue. And it's not that they were afraid to help, or didn't want to, but that they couldn't, because someone somewhere had reached the pervserse conclusion that abandoning the Browns to their fate was justifiable if it furthered the policy aims of the government.
