| Sara Jane Wiens and baby Isabella |
It looks like the Ministry of Children and
Family Development is once again going to be defending a losing case in a B.C.
court. Sara Jane Wiens is suing the Ministry and the Minister, Stephanie
Cadieux. MCFD should acquiesce right now because Christopher Heslinga
and Jack Hittrich are the lawyers for Ms. Wiens. Mr.
Hittrich is exceptionally effective at exposing MCFD incompetence. Nevertheless
the MCFD will send its legal team into the fray at the expense of taxpayers. That's
the pattern. No admissions. Merely costly defenses. The Ministry wins most
cases. Perhaps not any longer.
The Ministry of Children and Family
Development was only doing it's job. That's the fallback cover line when any
case goes south. It's not good enough when the credo of MCFD is persistently,
'the best interests of the child.'
