If you think the crimes listed here are the only ones that took place within the time frame shown, think again. Our wonderful Police Services all over Canada are not as efficient as the Toronto Police Services (TPS) when it comes to diligently and accurately releasing News Releases. In the entire country of Canada, the TPS is the only Police Services department that is doing a good job (and yet we whine and complain about them) compared to many, many others in Ontario and elsewhere in the country. The Toronto Police Services website for News Releases is A1 and it would be beneficial to the taxpaying public if other Police Service departments in the rest of Canada were to copy that model. If you visit this website which lists PS departments all over Canada and do a comparison you will agree that I am right about the TPS's user friendly online resources compared to all other PS websites in Canada. Would it put additional strain on the other PS depts to follow the TPS model, at least for listing the News Releases the way the TPS website does????? I think not!
324) ....A man will spend 45 days behind bars after pleading guilty to assaulting a streetcar driver. Salah Hussein, 56, was accused of spitting in the face of a Queen St. TTC operator and verbally assaulting him after the driver refused to give the man a free ride on Jan. 28.

325) A slender, blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl suffered eight years of horrific physical and sexual abuse starting when she was just seven at the hands of the man the Children’s Aid Society entrusted to keep her safe.
A jury found Mac Bool Hassan guilty eight days ago of 13 criminal offences for sexually and physically abusing the girl — who isn’t biologically related to him — as well as assaulting her half-brother.
The verdict was reached swiftly after only fours hours of deliberations because the evidence was overwhelming, said Crown attorney Heather Keating.
Hassan, 49, will be back in Superior Court Monday to set a date for sentencing.
But the now 20-year-old woman is seething with outrage at both Hassan and the Toronto Children’s Aid Society because it granted him custody of her when she was two years old.
And the CAS kept her and her half-brother in his care despite Hassan’s drug use, criminal record and neighbours’ reports of neglect and abuse.
“I had to do what he told me to do or I’d get beaten, punched and kicked, dragged by my hair along the floor. He told me he loved me and that he would marry me, like Woody Allen married his adoptive daughter, when I was 18,” the girl recalled in an exclusive interview with the Toronto Sun. “I felt like I was his wife. It’s like we’re a couple, but he’s my dad.”
She is now working two jobs, one at a retail outlet and another as a babysitter, hoping to save enough money so that she can pursue her dream of becoming a flight attendant.
“Children’s Aid ruined my life because I could have been adopted as a baby,” she said angrily. “Instead, they thought it was in my best interest ... to be placed into this man’s care. He was a single man with a criminal record who had no connection to me. Why would he want to parent me?”
The abuse occurred twice a week when she was younger but became a nightly ordeal after she turned 11 or 12, said Keating, who successfully prosecuted Hassan.
“He had no business to be basically using the victim as a vulnerable sex toy,” Keating said. “It’s disgusting.”.........
