How Could You? Hall of Shame-Canada-Alfred Lang

This will be an archive of heinous actions by those involved in child welfare, foster care and adoption. We forewarn you that these are deeply disturbing stories that may involve sex abuse, murder, kidnapping and other horrendous actions.

From Hamilton, Canada, a” visitor of a Hamilton foster home has been charged with sexually assaulting two young children.

Alfred Lang, 82, has been charged with two counts of sexual assault and two counts of invitation to sexual touching dating back to 2003 and 2005.

The charges came after a joint investigation by Hamilton Police and the Catholic Children’s Aid Society into that specific home. Lang – who did not live in the home – was not a foster parent. He was never sanctioned to be a foster parent, police said.

The foster home no longer has children placed in the home. CCAS Director David Shea said this was the case before the charges were laid, and that no children were removed due to the investigation.

Shea would not say how many foster children have been placed in the home since 2003. Police believe there may have been more victims.

“I cannot comment at all on the case,” Shea said Friday.

“We’re making sure everybody’s taken care of on our end but I really can’t comment.”

Lang was scheduled to have a bail hearing Friday afternoon [July 12, 2013].

Anyone with information on Lang or the home is asked to contact Detective Scott Moore, Hamilton Police Service Sexual Assault Unit at 905-546-4614.”
