I smell a confidence trick.
Nowhere in his article does Crook mention any specific names of government workers he interacted with, specific dates when he met with caseworkers, or specific actions or enforcements the government would take regarding his case.
In an article full of links to specific stats and empathy inducing images of his children, he does not show a single government correspondence.
I hope my assumption is just misguided cynicism, and that there actually is a concrete reason to give this man money.

"In a June 23 letter that Mr. Crook provided to The Globe and Mail, the ministry said it looked into concerns that "you were pulling the children's ears and allowing them to take transit unsupervised." Asked about the ear-pulling, Mr. Crook said it was treated as an afterthought in the investigation and follow-up, and that the main focus was the bus trips. The letter says there are no child-protection concerns and that the children are safe in their father's care."
