You are being an optimist.

We have seen an unfortunate pattern of increased hate crimes in past months directed towards religious minorities, particularity towards women. We need to take issue extremely seriously as this pattern is a warning sign of increased intolerance.
We are a country that defends freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and people's rights to go to school without being fearful or harassed. This is fundamental to who we are.
We would direct all the questions on the investigation to the Toronto Police Service. we are thankful and relieved that this incident did not take place.

Apparently he has made this statement:
Sorry, but false accusations as those that were made, incite more hate crimes. Such actions should not be defended or excused.
There is supposed to be a rally on 29 Jan, sponsored by the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR CAN to protest "Islamophobia" in remembrance of the six people killed in a Mosque in Quebec. What is not mentioned and really has no relevance to "Islamophobia" is that the killer was a Muslim......Not a racist White supremacist or some other "Islamophobe".
When will the MSM and our politicians tire of this manipulation of the media and claims of "Victimhood" to cover other agendas?
Remius said:We all know that because she's under 12 and can't be charged. Just one of those things where a kid gets attention by crying wolf. We had two girls here do the same about some fake story about someone in a van approaching them.
If it is any consolation to anyone who wants the book thrown at them, they are both about to undergo a very difficult life lesson. In all likelihood the parents are going to tear them a new one. I know I would. Also anything they say to anyone about anything won't be believed. Now add the shame they will have. If school is anything like it was when I grew up this will follow them for their adolescent lives. I would not be surprised if they have to change schools as a result of this.
I'm not saying that there shouldn't be consequences, just saying that it's an 11 year old girl and younger brother who both probably told a fib that got bigger than they could handle.
2 cents and all.
George Wallace said:With the current "political correct" atmosphere in the WEST, anything to do that may involve commenting on Muslims seems to be taboo. Our current Governments seem to be of the type that they would rather stick their heads in the sand than address a problem before it festers into something much larger.

When I was growing up on rural ontario there was a huge story (mid 90's) about a hate crime involving Mennonite teens near St. Jacobs (kitchener). They claimed someone had threw a bottle into their wagon from a car and seriously hurt a girl badly. Created a huge stir. Turns out they had been drinking and she had fallen and hit her head. The story told was yo avoid trouble with the obviously devout parents. However, by the time they fessed up story had grown out of proportion.
This is likely a similar thing. Likely,her garment was cut and she worried about getting in trouble so came up with a cover story. The cover story than grew because of adult politics.
Children are children. There should be consequences, but delusions of some scandal ignore the fact that most things boil down to a simple start. Particularly with 11 year olds.

Alexandre Bissonnette (born c. 1990), a student at Université Laval, was identified as the suspect. He called police from the area near the bridge to the Île d'Orléans far from the mosque, and told them he was involved and wanted to surrender.[27][28][29] Université Laval announced that Bissonnette would not be allowed on campus while judicial proceedings were underway.[30]
Bissonnette grew up in Cap-Rouge. Neighbours said his father and mother were both present in his life and were model parents, adding that they had never had a problem with either him or his twin brother.[30] Former acquaintances say he was introverted and sometimes bullied at school.[31] He was not known to police, and he had no court records other than traffic violations.[31] Before the shooting he had been living in an apartment near the mosque along with his twin brother.[32][33]
People who knew him said he had expressed support for Marine Le Pen and Donald Trump,[31][30][34] and had far-right, white nationalist, and anti-Muslim views.[28][35][36] The manager of a refugee-support Facebook page said Bissonnette frequently denigrated refugees and feminists online.[30][31] A member of the mosque said he had met and talked with him outside the mosque on January 26, believing he was interested in Islam, but he veered away from the subject.[37][38]

Remius said:The most likely story so far. She didn’t want mom and dad angry because she took it off or accidentially damaged it. Story got out of hand.
