APPLICATION RULING UPDATE

Baynes' visitation access was increased from 2 to 3 times weekly for 3 hrs each; granted access for special occasions; parents can attend preschool and kindergarten functions as other parents do; all information for doctors' appointments is to be sent by email to the parents and if the doctors give advance and written consent then parents can attend; Unsupervised access was denied. LOOK FOR MORE ON THIS BLOG SITE TOMORROW MORNING.

  2. SO disappointed with this small 'token of goodwill'! I recognize that it is important to see some inclusion of the parents in the medical care for their children, but they should not need the doctor's consent to be present. That's ludicrous! I hope the children have doctors who are independent thinkers and not blindly pro-MCFD.
    This is arguably more than what the Baynes had in past and is a step in the right direction. The part that worries me is that access will still be contingent upon MCFD providing supervision. UNLESS the Baynes have done what we did, and obtained an MCFD approved supervisor who can be available when they need it, unpaid by the MCFD????? We found a visit supervisor with impeccable references that MCFD could not reasonably deny and she (God bless her!) made herself available even for Christmas Day visits. Could the Baynes do the same?

  3. There is a certain list of Doctors and other sub specialties that network with Child Protectors to undermine parents in such matters. There is an organized National Alliance that many are aware of. It would be easy to search out Membership of medical professionals attached to this file, and others like it.

  4. This is an excellent opportunity for the MCFD to review its position and perhaps enter into serious negotiations toward settlement with the Bayne Family. Congratulations Paul and Zabeth. Enjoy some fun in the sun with your little ones.

    Provide documentation please and thank you. Saying "I've heard" or "someone told me" or "trust me, I know" is not sufficient evidence for such a claim.

    You are aware, I'm sure, that many professions are considered "mandated reporters" and will face severe penalties if they don't report any suspected abuse.

    The list below is for USA, but it's probably the same or very similar for Canada:

    These generally include, but are not limited to the following:

    Adult protective service employees
    Child advocates
    Child protective service employees
    Chiropractors
    Clergy
    Summer Camp Counselors
    Commercial Film and Photographics Print Processors [1]
    Dentists and dental hygienists
    Emergency medical service providers
    Marital and family therapists
    Medical examiners
    Mental health professionals
    Nurses
    Ombudsmen
    Optometrists
    Parole officers
    Pharmacists
    Physical therapists
    Physician assistants
    Physicians
    Podiatrists
    Police officers
    Probation officers
    Psychologists
    Public health service providers responsible for the licensing or monitoring of child day care centers, long term care and nursing facilities, group day care homes, family day care homes, and youth camps
    Professional counselors
    Resident medical interns
    School teachers, coaches, guidance counselors, paraprofessionals, and principals
    Sexual assault and battered women’s counselors
    Social workers
    Substance abuse rehabilitation counselors


    So, as you can see, it doesn't really matter if there is or is not some Alliance, there are plenty - and I mean plenty - of others who will be obligated to report any suspicion of child abuse or neglect.
