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, Helene 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 do prevent their mother from being healed, these insecure, greed-motivated
children sought to charge their sister with such a preposterous charge of
"attempted kidnapping of their mother" to ensure this sister of B.C. was held,
without bail, for almost four months in Manitoba while awaiting trial for which charges
where "Stayed" as Jeannette Van Steelant had given written approval to return to this
facility in October 2006 when at the hospital in Stonewall, Manitoba, where she had been given a 2% chance
of survival!
The victim from B.C. was was deemed to have breached an order erroneously granted by a judge in May 2006 whose lawyer confirmed did not factor in the fact that Lionel Bouchard and Jeannette Van Steelant had been divorced for years 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 revised 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 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, including deceiving her husband in going along with the program based on more lies they fabricated to ensure no contact was made.
Lionel Bouchard admitted that his son who he was having a dispute over his life estate agreement drove him to the Headingley RCMP Detachment to file the charge to ensure that Andy Bouchard was to continue on his quest to either commit his father or at the very least refuse to honor the agreement or allow his father to return to his home in Elie of 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 three despicable children.
Daughter from B.C. was ordered to stay out of Manitoba after a judge who had no jurisdiction 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.
It is alleged that Andy Bouchard used a third party, one of two inmates at the 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 to lay yet another false charge of threatening his life with a gun, if one can imagine on the afternoon his sister was set to have bail to return to spend Christmas in B.C., having already purchased her airline ticket!
In his own testimony on this website, Lionel Bouchard admits being driven to the RCMP Headingley Detachment and ordered under duress by Andy Bouchard to perjure himself to lay false charges against the one daughter who had been 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 the oldest, by his very own admission, had his mother Madeleine committed as Peggy sought to benefit financially 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 accident when he was five years old when he was as a spectator hit by a ski-do.
Funds were used initially to build herself a mansion with a sunken living room for Peggy Keough 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 Marlene Légaré 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 he chose not to get involved or attend his father's funeral in February 2015.
In 2007, Andy Bouchard presented the judge with a 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 Marlene Légaré undergo a psychiatric evaluation in order to be granted bail after acquittal of charges, pending Andy Bouchard's last charge of threat to kill him with a gun (no less) a charge brought by a convict at the Portage Women's Correctional Institute, no doubt initiated by Andy through Angie Bouchard who had daily access to this accuser and her counterpart and was no where to be found for trial!

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. Also refer to

Thinking it was safe to return to Manitoba, 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 Margaret Bouchard of Kenora who aided him in setting aside 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 coerced/threatened to sign paperwork drafted by his despicable children and in so doing perjured himself once again.
Protection Order against Daughter of B.C. Falsely Accudsed once again, order procured once again under Perjury served on a third party and not respondent living in B.C.
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 anyways), 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, diagnosed while living with daughter in B.C. with slight onset of dementia, which in hindsight daughter confirms it was an issue of understanding the physician who was Asian and whereby daughter herself had difficulty understanding, to perjure himself with false statements as in the past, to apply and be granted another 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!
This action was premeditated in order that daughter of B.C. not get close to 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 Staub's lives have been turned upside down as they have been unable to accomplish some actions 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 might his unfortunate demise after being drugged!
September 19, 2014, a Protection Order granted by Judge Harvey (who had APPROVED IN OCTOBER 2009 ORDER AGAINST THREE SIBLINGS) procured
under Perjury once again, this while Pre-existing Protection still in place for an order served on a third party in Manitoba Susie Waldner and not Respondent!
