Yes, I said a year and a half later: No finding of need for protection is substantiated.<br /><br />Autistic girl to be returned home to dad<br /> <br />By Vikki Hopes - Abbotsford News<br />Published: December 10, 2012 7:00 PM <br /><br />http://www.abbynews.com/news/182905021.html <br /> <br />SAMANTHA'S LAW in the neighbouring Province of Alberta could have averted this tragic demonstration of Ministry's ignorance towards the disabled community in British Columbia. Caring families dealing with issues of medical and developmental diversity such as Autism must be handled distinctly from the Child Welfare Intervention Model. I am striving to secure similar Policy across the Country to combat against tragic situations like Ayn's from developing. Let's focus on the children; it is not simply one child in this family negatively impacted, but 3. Ayn has been separated from her two brothers and they from her all for naught! Eighteen months is a very long time - birthdays and occasions come and go, children gain inches in height, and memories of terror do remain a lifetime affliction. A year and a half for Ministry to concur that Ayn was not in need of protection; justice delayed is justice denied! Incidentally, I can speak to this case directly as I have met Derek Hoare and his sons and will personally vouch there is no better, well-equip, caring daddy for Ayn than within the home she shared amongst siblings. - Velvet Martin, Spokesperson for Protecting Canadian Children Velvet Martinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060003097513753942.post-68867019193858356782011-07-13T09:48:55.034-07:002011-07-13T09:48:55.034-07:00Mandy, thanks, you will notice your comment above ...Mandy, thanks, you will notice your comment above but I have also placed it in the body of the post itself so that it will not be missed and it complements your sister's piece.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07353695791008715393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060003097513753942.post-48508203111429413592011-07-13T08:54:56.818-07:002011-07-13T08:54:56.818-07:00My name is Mandy, and I am Derek's younger sis...My name is Mandy, and I am Derek's younger sister. I was the one to start the facebook page and I wouldn't have done it except for the strong love I have for my brother. I have kids myself, none of which are autistic, but when ever I have any issues, i immediately call on him for advice. Derek's parenting skills are unmatched by any professionals, and he supports and understands his kids better than anyone. <br /><br />I can't imagine Ayn trapped in that place for months. Someone at MCFD did not "investigate" the situation properly or else I would have been contacted. Another flaw in the MCFD is that instead of placing a special needs child into foster care after removal from a family is to talk to the closest relatives. A child is supposed to be with their family who knows them and understands them. <br /><br />Derek is the most patient and understanding parent out there and Ayn needs to be returned. The best place for Ayn to be is where it will do the most good. That is, and always will be....<br /><br />Home.Mandy Pelkiehttp://www.facebook.com/groups/152278868178942?notif_t=group_activitynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060003097513753942.post-8139532382218735262011-07-12T13:18:29.086-07:002011-07-12T13:18:29.086-07:00I gather Derek's "first appearance" ...I gather Derek's "first appearance" today resulted in the news the Presentation Hearing would not happen for "months."<br /><br />It is very likely the recent case of the autistic child left alone with a dead mother has some bearing on this case. The Ministry would not want to be seen as not acting with ANY report involving an autistic child. Derek's case is a perfect example of how a previous case that is critical of MCFD's handling results in over handling of similar sounding cases afterwards. <br /><br />Hopefull Derek will use those funds raised to hire someone like Robert Hamilton, who may be successful in having Ayn returned at the Presentation Hearing.<br /><br />The membership count on the facebook group continues to rise, 2614 as of this writing.

The insinuation is the child could have died, given her special needs. <br /><br />The biggest hole in MCFD's actions is that they removed one child out of three. If a parent is deemed neglectful for one child it is supposed to apply to all children. Otherwise, MCFD can be seen as undermining their own argument and shortchanging the remaining children in terms of protecting them from an adult seemingly incapable of protecting a third child.<br /><br />Bethany Bayne is the only child of concern, yet the three boys were removed as well. This should be Derek's main thrust at the Presentation Hearing to downgrade the removal to a supervision order.<br /><br />I hope Derek is able to get autism experts to publish an analysis. Derek needs reports from the so-called professionals that are currently treating Ayn, and have those disputed, and expert evidence on file before the case goes to trial.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
