Contrary to his statement the Canadian Court recognizes Giselle as the first legal child of Peter Rakobowchuk from his first marriage with Agota Szabo and ordered him to pay child support. Yes, the perfect father, parent representative and School Board Commissioner-candidate:

Peter Rakobowchuk on Lester B Pearson website: "I am seeking election as Commissioner in Ward 15 and I would appreciate your support. As the father of TWO children, I have been deeply involved in numerous roles in the community and its schools for more than five years.

I have been a member of the Windermere Elementary and Sherwood Forest Elementary governing boards; helped organize Home and School fundraising activities, chaired the Sector 3 Parents Committee which represented 14 schools; and have been actively involved in the LBPSB Central Parents Committee. I am also a member of the Kirkland Safety and Security Committee.

If elected I would strive to improve communications between the board and parents, promote programs to make our schools more attractive and ensure consistent help for special needs children.
I would do my best to make sure parents and children have what they need to get the most out of their education system."

       

Baptism and Confirmation

The two baptismal certificates (she was baptised in Hungary) were issued by two parish priests, both very respected in this town, in fact, one is a franciscan friar well known all over Hungary. The photos were taken at the time of Giselle's baptism. Also a photo of her confirmation in Canada.

Creepy post from Pat Enborg's blog 2012 October 20. (Patricia Enborg is second wife of my daughter's father and my ex-husband Peter Rakobowchuk Canadian Press reporter (also writer of Lucca Rocco Magnotta articles - now Peter R Rakobowchuk on Twitter - who still has done nothing to stop defaming my daughter and I. He officially ran for Schoolboard Commissioner in a campaign at Lester B Pearson Schoolboard stating he has 2 children thus excluding his first of three children from his first marriage. Giselle is officially - on all her official documents - his first legal and biological daughter.) See post: http://agota-szabo-artist.blogspot.ca/2012/08/the-pain-of-silence.html
This photo of Giselle at a wedding in Hungary was taken in 2008 and was up on her Facebook for years.

Giselle's message to a father - November 30, 2012

Back in Canada at Last (in the 80's)

Thanks to my talent, painting and the help of some very good friends in Italy and Switzerland I managed to receive commissions of portraits; one such commission came from the Canadian Consul to Switzerland, in Bern. I also had exhibitions, as well.

Giselle and Agota, back in Canada again

It was a fairly hectic time; Giselle, painting, organizing exhibitions, taking commissions...

The Pain of Silence

http://agota-szabo-artist.blogspot.hu/p/photos-of-life-of-artist.html

Peter Rakobowchuk and first daughter, Giselle Rakobowchuk

Peter Rakobowchuk is the legal and biological father of Giselle Rakobowchuk, his first daughter, born in Canada from his first marriage. He raised her together with Agota Szabo (then Agota Rakobowchuk), his first wife, in her first tender few years. Thus Peter Rakobowchuk has THREE children, not two but in order to attain financial and social gains Peter Rakobowchuk, prominent journalist for The Canadian Press ERASED HIS FIRST CHILD from HIS LIFE, saying she does not exist for him by writing this abominable CV, so he could run for School Board Commissioner. This was in an official campaign of Lester B. Pearson School Board in 2008 but forgot to mention that he had cast his OWN CHILD cruelly and coldheartedly aside, leaving her in an Eastern-European country in the 80's to never again ask or care anything about her well-being. All his actions proved that he stands against everything that is expected by every parent from a true Parents' Representative. He succeeded in destroying the very thing he claimed he wanted to represent; true PARENTHOOD itself.

All in the Name

Agota Szabo at a CKO party in Vancouver, Peter took the photo

Besides that strange correspondence with her father at the end of 2010 there are other odd things. Unlike of most journalists, there are ONLY two PHOTOS of Peter Rakobowchuk, journalist of The Canadian Press on the net besides those posted recently by and of his first wife Agota Szabo and their child, Giselle. No Facebook, no blog, his Twitter account is protected defeating the purpose of having a journalist's Twitter. On the other hand Peter Rakobowchuk's present wife, Patricia or Pat Enborg, a public figure as well is quite at home on the net though does not seem proud of the Rakobowchuk name as her husband is mentioned as "Peter Ray, radio reporter"  Their names (Rakobowchuk and Enborg) do not seem to appear together as husband and wife anywhere in public.

In the articles above it is surprising to read Peter Ray, radio reporter talking about his wife instead of Peter Rakobowchuk, journalist for The Canadian Press. This radio reporter seems to have nothing to do with Peter Rakobowchuk, the name must be well known by readers all across Canada now. 

Strangely, a lot of articles have recently appeared on the net written by "Peter Ray" working also  for The Canadian Press, what's more even takes photos for CP. 

Last time Giselle saw her father

In the meantime, as Patricia Enborg is enjoying all the benefits of being Peter Rakobowchuk's wife without using his name, GISELLE RAKOBOWCHUK, his daughter, is constrained to live with her father's name (she cannot change it here) of which she has not experienced one single positive effect here, so far. On the contrary. The name often DOES NOT receive a favourable reaction in this country.

WHY did a prominent, Canadian journalist,
now living
and working in Montreal, a real pillar of the community, caring father, fund-raiser together with his wife, the "perfect parent", who cares for nothing save for the community, the welfare and well-being of not only his two other children but of all the children in his community like the "Great Benefactor" that he is... leave and abandon his own little daughter at the age of five and turn his back so cold-heartedly on her never to initiate any form of contact with her ever again? 

WHAT did a little girl at the age of five do to her father that he never wanted to see her again after LEAVING HER in East-Europe in the 80s, without any provisions for her? He never did nor does allow his first daughter to know anything about her own brother and sister, not even their names or like if they are all right?

Do the TWO HALF-SIBLINGS know anything about Giselle, their sister? What's more Do ANY of HIS CO-WORKERS or his FRIENDS know about his first, legal, biological DAUGHTER from HIS FIRST MARRIAGE at all?

Planned Well Ahead (by Agota Szabo)

After Pietro Annigoni's encouragement I went back to my painting with renewed vigour. The past can not be changed and at times one might even find this to be a true blessing, yet it is still important to know the circumstances leading to the present.

That year and the largest part of the following year was spent painting, raising Giselle and taking care of Peter and the house. After accepting Peter's new and exciting idea of him taking journalism courses in Europe, Giselle and I found ourselves in Europe again. I was anxiously preparing and getting ready for some art courses, also a small part of his plans.

At the request of Pietro Annigoni (see: Pietro Annigoni - Wikipedia) I also visited him in his studio again, so he could see my new paintings and judge my progress. The following letter, his confidence in my talent, his kind, supporting words and advice gave me the much needed strength and courage for the future.

During those months I was waiting I received nothing, no news, not even a postcard from Peter.

He came to Europe for some months as planned, also for some courses, at the end of which he unexpectedly visited and saw Giselle for the last time.

I have never been able to take any  art courses and have not seen him nor any of my stuff I left in Canada with him since.

Signs of Deception (by Agota Szabo)

It was the 80s. I was happily raising our daughter, Giselle at home while trying to develop my painting skills. I took some private lessons when we visited my parents the year before. Peter liked Europe, except for some things. He said the walls between neighbouring houses with their tall gates looked like prisons to him and at night, seeing the dark windows of all those houses with their shutters closed tight, not allowing any light to stream outside gave him a creepy, eery feeling. As I grew up there, to me it gave the feelings of warmth, cosiness and security but thinking of those bright, lit up windows in Canada, where he grew up I figured he must be right. Never gave this conversation another thought until now. 

Portrait of  Queen Elisabeth by Pietro Annigoni

My dream was to follow in the footsteps of Pietro Annigoni, the famous Italian Master and to become a great portrait painter like him. To my great joy I was able to go and visit him in his studio to show him some samples of my work. He told me I most surely had the talent to become a painter of note, gave me advice on how to proceed with my painting and invited me to visit him again when I had new paintings. He wanted to judge my progress. He greatly encouraged me and told me never to give up painting. I was really very happy.

Peter was also happy though there were some signs and inklings to the contrary. At times he made me feel I was "only" a housewife and mother, NOT a "career woman" he had married. I DID try hard but our daughter was still small and needed much of my time. I enrolled and took courses at a School of Art. Peter seemed happy again.

Chilling Correspondence (by Giselle Rakobowchuk)

There is a logic behind my decision to post childhood pictures including my father. Something has come to my knowledge that has to do with my public image. I wish to undo the wrong he has been doing to my name and reputation and, in the eyes of many who are important to me, to make my absence conspicuous.

I called my father on the phone at his workplace at The Canadian Press in Montreal ten years ago, SEVENTEEN years after I had last seen him or heard from him. I'll never forget the odd reception. "You are very brave to have called me", were his first words. No tone of surprise, no words of joy, nothing to express sentiments of any sort. I was ecstatic with joy to have learned I had a little brother and a sister. I had been accustomed to being an "only" child and had always wanted to have siblings. I conveyed my wish to keep in touch with him and my siblings. 

He eventually wrote me a letter by post explaining he had been "quite busy at work" and had had "family matters" that had kept him occupied. He also recounted the last time he had seen me was when he had been studying in Europe for six months. He wrote he was re-married and had two children. I wrote him an email, attaching photos of myself and asked him about my half-siblings. I asked him their names. He never replied.

I wrote him again in 2010 and we exchanged about 30 emails. Over the course of the oddest and most disturbing correspondence I have ever had he threw me a few lines every few days or so. He did not even call me by my name as he did when he raised me but called me GAR (my initials) as one would not even call a dog. He did not ask once how I was and no questions were asked about me or my life. He steadfastly ignored any of my questions related to my half-siblings. His behaviour was very odd, to say the least. For some strange reason he continued to keep their names secret from me, their own sister.

For over a month of this strange correspondence he continuously promised to help if there was any way he could be of help thus leading me to believe and hope for almost two months that he would help (like a cruel, vicious game) yet he never did, instead he vanished, never to reply to any of my emails again. This was his "Merry Christmas" wish to me.

Though by Christmas – one of the darkest I had ever had – I was aware he had irrevocably thrown me out of his life, snatching the last remnants of hope that had been drifting with me all these years as whispering companions and in spite of my having already fully realized the permanency of his character, on the Day after Christmas I grasped a disturbing new image of him.   

He wrote and published an article on the Day after Christmas. 

He mentioned everything I had not received from him during all those years… (not even when he would have had a chance to make up for lost time. He had no other children for almost ten years after he left me)…of parenting, of the love of a father even from the farthest places of the universe and even of the same stress he himself had put me through. The story, revolving around a father and his job, went on to delve into his efforts to be a good parent even from far. I was speechless, I felt physically ill. It felt like “in your face, girl”.

In the meantime I also wrote to my uncle (I last saw him as a young child) from my father's side. I came to discover my family from my father's side had been told a decidedly different story than the truth.

Therefore left with no help from my father a difficult two years was before me. In 2012 I opened an account on Twitter. Not long after I started tweeting my father (the "Space Guy"...) suddenly went "into hiding" by making his previously public tweets private and thus becoming one of few (if any) reporters who tweets secretly. What could a little girl of five possibly have done to her father that he so obviously banishes her from his life?

But if the biological father I wrote emails to in 2010 had never wanted any paternal relationship with his first daughter from his first marriage, if indeed he was never the father I still hoped he might be...suddenly my whole correspondence of those two months, my desperate pleadings for help from an indifferent stranger void of any emotions, his uncaring, ice-cold demeanor towards me all my life sent chills down my spine…

Tragedy for One - Comedy for the Other?

Soon after childhood pictures of Giselle Rakobowchuk https://twitter.com/GiselleArtist and her father, Peter Rakobowchuk, a journalist for the Canadian Press in Montreal, had been posted on the net these two "jokes" appeared on twittter.

Distasteful joke about a young woman wearing sash in her long, blonde hair.

The "joke":At Alexis nihon plaza for men's free health clinic. Butt about to get violated.

https://twitter.com/comedyjoeyelias/status/213263698683367424

But I find much more disturbing the "hilarious" comment of the woman from Peterborough.

You asked for it though didn't you? You know the old adage, "Don't ask, don't tell..." tweets the woman from Peterborough.
http://twitter.com/pjenborg/status/213329910876479489

I just hope the tweets are but coincidences, as by some strange twist of fate,
that same woman Patricia Enborg or Pat Enborg happened to marry Peter Rakobowchuk named also Peter Ray or Peter Ray Rakobowchuk "along the way"...,

The last time Giselle saw her legal and biological father, Peter 

...after Giselle (age 5 then) and her mother (Agota Szabo, his first wife) had been left and forgotten with Agota's family, in a distance of some seven thousand kilometers from Canada, Giselle's home and birthplace.
