THE GROWING PUBLIC REACTION TO CHILD PROTECTION DONE BADLY
As of Tuesday evening at 11:00 pm, there have been 424 comments to Kathy Tomlinson's Go Public documentary on Paul and Zabeth Bayne's four year battle to recover their family, four children (438 by 6AM Wed). Those comments convey the growing distrust of the Ministry of Children and Family Development, and a public demand for changes and reform to our child protection in B.C.

I think for the family to TRULY be safe from their intrusion and watchful eye(who's to say they won't keep monitoring them just waiting for the chance to "find" something else they don't like to oppress them AGAIN?) they have to move out of the jurisdiction, away from their prying eyes and just start over again somewhere else in order to truly be free and to feel safe.
ReplyDeleteI can't say whether the Baynes have ever considered this. I know that numerous other parents have spoken about doing this. There are incidents (i.e. UK) of parents fleeing from UK to Ireland and the CPA tracking them down and getting a court order to bring them back and still to take the children. But that was an open case. The Baynes case is now closed. But as you say, "prying eyes....."
ReplyDeleteI would scour through the comments, preserve them, and publish the best ones. There are public relations analysts would go through these and collate the information to measure public opinion in comparison with other issues. The comments indicate that the public opinion of Child Protection, specifically MCFD is scathing. This type of news coverage is important leverage to continue to build public anger at the incredible damage government is inflicting on families. At some point something has to break and force a response. The upcoming election in 2013 might be enough time to prepare and drive home this point as an election item.
