Family Abuse on Trial
This is a recap or very small snapshot of family abuse as depicted in this website using the
legal system confirmation of extreme manipulation or coercion, threats of mother, father and daughter dividing a very large extended family once and for all!
Mother: Jeannette Van Steelant
- Mother Jeannette (nee Gervais, married Bouchard) Van Steelant was prevented from returning for life-saving cancer treatment initiated in January 2005 when accompanied by loving, caring daughter from B.C. and husband Robert Van Steelant, at the internationally acclaimed 93% cure rate Burzynski Clinic in Houston, Texas.
- Maliciously-motivated children Andy Bouchard, of Portage La Prairie, Lynda Staub, of Rosser, Hélene Johnson, of Big Bend, Wisconsin, Claire Demery of Teulon, Manitoba ensured their mother not return for treatment which treatment had astounded Jeannette Van Steelant's oncologists in Winnipeg!
- Rather these immoral pathetically greed-motivated greedy siblings caused their mother to suffered needlessly, and by their actions robbed their mother of a full life as they were pivotal in ensuring their mother succumb to her death prematurely by denying her state-of-the-art medical resources out of the country.
primarily by Lynda Staub whose agenda was to take her mother to Sanivov, Baja,
Mexico, at a third world spa and wellness Center associated Usana of which Lynda Staub
was a commissioned sales person for this high-priced vitamin company.
5. In order to prevent their mother from being healed, these insecure, greed-motivated
children sought to charge their sister with a most outrageous and preposterous
charge of "attempted kidnapping of their mother" which Andy Bouchard
deliberately and maliciously had reported on the front page of the Winnipeg
Free Press - story to be maliciously be carried over to Maple Ridge, B.C. to discredit this
upstanding citizen and to ensure this sister of B.C. was held, without bail, for almost four
months in Manitoba while awaiting trial for which ludicrous charges where "Stayed"!
These siblings had learned of their mother Jeannette Van Steelant's plans, (confirmed in
writing by her consent to return to this facility in October 2006) when at the hospital in
Stonewall, Manitoba, where she had been no hope, only a 2% chance of survival had
their mother discharged whereby Andy Bouchhrd and called in the RCMP with trumped
up allegations!
This loving caring daughter from B.C. , now a victim of her siblings conspiracy was was deemed to have breached an order granted by a judge in May 2006, an order her lawyer confirmed erred in he did not factor in that Lionel Bouchard and Jeannette Van Steelant had been divorced for years and whereby Jeannette Van Steelant was not a party or affected by what turns out to be a false assault charge against her which her father Lionel Bouchard in Court at trial admitted had never occurred!
In other words this judge this was not presented with these facts, and was deceived into revising the original "No Contact" with father which had previously allowed contact with mother Jeannette Van Steelant as she had been suffering with cancer.
The "family" - namely Andy & Angie Bouchard, Lynda Staub, Claire Demery pressured Crown Colleen McDuff to go back to court to revised the order to
"exclude any contact in person in Manitoba" between mother and daughter but allowed contact by other means (letter, telephone call, out of province which in essence meant no contact as these siblings ran interference to ensure any form of contact with Jeannette Van Steelant was blocked, and in so doing deceiving her husband in going along with their program based on more lies fabricated to ensure no contact was made.
Lionel Bouchard admitted that his evil son Andy Bouchard, who at the time was denying any existence of a Life Estate Agreement having destroyed all his father's records while his father was in the hospital recovering from a concussion when he slipped on ice, drove his father to the Headingley RCMP Detachment to have him under duress file a bogus assault charge.
Andy Bouchard wanted to ensure his quest to either commit his father, refusing to honor the agreement and taking this opportunity not to allow his father to return to his home in Elie where his father had farmed and lived for over fifty years on the Bouchard Centennial Homestead.
incarcerated in order that her mother die prematurely. Money was their motivation to which Jeannette Van Steelant paid a price of less than $10,000 per child AS A RESULT OF HER DEATH.....
Father Lionel Bouchard, of Elie, Manitoba, was tossed out of his house in 2006. His van, motor home, mortgage due him, independence and freedom taken from him at the age of 82 by these same despicable, cold-blooded children - Andy & Angie Bouchard and sisters Lynda Staub and Claire Demery, also with the support of Helene Johnson over the telephone from Big Bend, Wisconsin.
Daughter Marlene Légaré was illegally ordered to stay out of Manitoba after a judge erred in
revising a bail order preventing her from visiting her ailing mother in Manitoba who was not party to her ex-husband allegation of assault from daughter which he renounced in court as never having occurred, rather forced to press charges when Andy Bouchard drove him to the
Headingley RCMP Detachment against his will and under duress & major threat of physical harm.
Jeannette Van Steelant was not party to the proceedings when Marlene Légaré was falsely
accused by her father Lionel Bouchard of assaulting him - an assault Lionel Bouchard denied under oath ever occurred, on the stand at trial months later. As a result of this false charge, his daughter incarcerated for almost four months, deemed a "flight risk" whereby she awaited trial to be acquitted on these charges.
For good measure, another fabricated charge by Andy Bouchard using a third party and inmate in Women's Portage Correctional Institute - a 100 year old facility which had inmate contact daily through meals with Andy Bouchard's wife - Angie Bouchard at Agassiz Youth Center !
In fact, in his own testimony on this website, Lionel Bouchard admits being driven to the RCMP Headingley Detachment and ordered by Andy Bouchard to perjure himself to lay false charges against his daughter who was successful in preventing her brother Andy Bouchard from committing their father after a fall on ice at a friend's funeral.Similarly, Madeleine (Bouchard) Fillion was also falsely committed three times by sister Peggy Keough of Headingley, as Peggy had a vested monetary interest in seeing her sister undergoing cruel shock treatments for asserting her rights to her restaurant. The Reeve of Cartier, as well as other business owners and allies agenda was to rid themselves of this hard working, single mother after Madeleine's husband Albert Fillion ran off with Madeleine's own younger sister Eva Bouchard while living under their roof in Elie, Manitoba.
Peggy (Bouchard) Keough manipulated her very own sister's children, and with the aid of
Denis Fillion, the oldest, by his very own admission, had Madeleine committed as Peggy sought to benefit by these three committal orders.
Peggy Keough has been leading the charge, fearing being exposed for her past actions in numerous other situations, including having taken financial advantage of her son Kevin unfortunate ski-doo accident when he was five years old. Funds were used initially to build herself a mansion in Headingley, one hardly wheel-chair accessible for her son to come to visit, all the while refusing to change his diaper being a quadriplegic - this testimony relayed by her son Kevin Keough to his aunt Madeleine Fillion.
Working as a caregiver, Peggy Keough refused an assignment after being dispatched to her sister Madeleine Fillion's home. To this day, Peggy Keough claims she has shoulder issues due to care-giving for her son, untrue, as Kevin was assigned 24/7 male attendants to tend to his every need who also escorted him on day trips complete with oxygen tank.
As it was no secret that Madeleine Fillion wanted her story told, Peggy Keough knowing that Madeleine's goddaughter from B.C. would expose the truth, has been seeing her old medical connections, doctors, psychiatrists to try to commit Marlene Légaré, with the willing
assistance of already corrupt siblings Andy & Angie Bouchard, Helene Johnson, Lynda Staub and Claire Demery. To what extent Jerry Bouchard is involved is not yet known other than telling his father that he had "ripped up his parent card".
In 2007, Andy Bouchard presented the judge with his own typed list of numerous individuals - some strangers and even to the extent of including his very own lawyer Michael Clark as parties requesting that his sister of B.C. undergo a psychiatric evaluation in order to be prevented bail after acquittal of charges. Maliciously for good measure, Andy Bouchard was behind another new charge of , that of threatening to kill him with a gun (no less) a charge brought by a convict at the Portage Women's Correctional Institute, to prevent his sister from returning to B.C. for Christmas after she had already bought her ticket,. There is no doubt as was typical of his modus operandi that behind the scenes Andy Bouchard had initiated this vexatious false accusation through his wife, Angie Bouchard, who had daily access to inmates at Agassiz Youth Centre where she worked, having daily contact through meals made by the inmates at the Portage Women's Jail to frame this sister. The charges were stayed a year later when the inmate failed to appear at trial - a fact well known by Crown who nvertheless insisted that accused fly out from B.C. for a Stay on the Charge!

October 2009, Judge Harvey approved three Protection Orders against Andy Bouchard, Lynda Staub and Claire Demery after evidence was presented to him of the abuse - physical, financial and emotional deriving from his children in Manitoba.

Thinking it was safe to return to Manitoba, in August 2011, Lionel Bouchard of his own accord flew back to Winnipeg only to be captured once again by these despicable children. With the aid of his sister Peggy Keough and sister-in-law Margaret Bouchard, of Kenora, who had Lionel Bouchard waive his claim for monies due him by Andy Bouchard for the property he was forced to sell to him (as evidenced by his then fiancée Susie Waldner) with the provision that Andy Bouchard entered a life estate agreement with his father (which Andy in 2006 denied existed) and which was never registered by daughter Lynda Staub who works at Winnipeg Land Titles office.
Lionel Bouchard was forced to sign other paperwork drafted by his despicable children and in so doing perjured himself once again and fie a false complaint with the Winnipeg St. James Police once again - Sgt. Jardine of Vulnerable Person's Dept. who notified false accused daughter of B.C. that there would be "no charges" against her! Unfortunately, it appears that the Police Dept. do not avail themselves of prior No Contact Orders as she would have discovered that there were already two Peace Bonds against Andy Bouchard, Lynda Staub and Claire Demery and that this was an obvious case of senior abuse and a senior being manipulated against his will to deprive him of his home and monies due to him by his son who could not wait to have his father go to court to sign off on his rights!
Protection Order Against Daughter of B.C. Falsely Acquired under Perjury
served on a third party and not respondent living in B.C. as soon as the second Peace Bond against these three children was removed by Lionel Bouchard.
As intense pressure was mounting for Andy Bouchard to sell ill-gotten Blight equipment (Richard Blight who allegedly committed suicide in April 2005 - Andy's employer until Andy eventually was fired by new owner Mazer Group), and for Lynda Staub to register property which she had been illegally withholding from registration, these two siblings once again forced their now 90 year old father, who had lived with his daughter in B.C. for three years, to perjure himself with false statements - as in the past, to apply and be granted a three year protection order, ironically by the same judge who had ordered three protection orders against these three Andy Bouchard, Lynda Staub and Claire Demery in 2009! Obviously, Justices of the Peace do not bother to review their court records as this judge would have discovered there had been two Peace Bonds against them already and whereby Justice of the Peace Lichenski had advised Lionel Bouchard that "these children would not stop"!
This action was premeditated in order that daughter of B.C. not have contact with her father to obtain further information which would convict these siblings for their illegal activities over the decades, this along with new information from Andy Bouchard's former "inner circle of friends" who have distanced themselves from these corrupt parties and in divulging insider information, wish to seek justice administered.
Andy Bouchard and Lynda's Staub's lives have been turned upside down as they have been unable to accomplish some moves they had planned on since before and after the alleged Richard Blight suicide in April 2005 - a fact that authorities have always questioned and who have been monitoring their key suspect since that unnatural death whereby they believe that Richard Blight met his unfortunate demise, possibly after being drugged or even tasered!
September 19, 2014, a Protection Order granted by Judge Harvey (who had APPROVED IN OCTOBER 2009 ORDER AGAINST THREE SIBLINGS) which was once again procured under Perjury once again, this while Pre-existing Protection still in place for an order illegally served on a third party in Manitoba Susie Waldner and not Respondent!
