"This was not just about a protection hearing, Doug Christie put the ministry on trial and exposed its shoddy tactics and blundering incompetence for the world to see in an open court.
September 21st, 2010 has been set for Finn Jensen to sum up the case for the MCFD. All day.
Doug Christie made a succinct, articulate and convincing summation in one hour. Finn Jensen's insistence of having a full day for his summation shows his or MCFD's desperation.
The similarities between the Bayne case and ours in Ontario is amazing and on Sept 21, 2009 ours concluded with the return of our children.
Fighting for parental rights must become fashionable because of mismanagement of child protective services.
My experience is that "services" provided by MCFD are used to acquire more evidence that can be used against the parents to deprive them of parental rights.
It is crucial that we recognize child protection corruption to put a stop to more children and families being victims of an awful tyranny.
We must return to very simple laws dedicated to helping children truly in need or travesties of Justice will continue in the name of Child Protection.
I have seen children removed because parents rent a flea infested condo, or children went to school appearing sad or have a rash, or parents disagree with positions of a SW.
As long as a group of people are given such enormous God-like power - that is, the power to take a child from his parents with virtually no accountability, then there will be wrongful removals.
Help children who need help, i.e. if there are actual signs of abuse, do an investigation, then charge the perpetrator criminally.
Don't permit social workers to yank kids away from their family on the basis of some bogus subjective "neglect" accusation.
To revoke sweeping child removal authority does not compromise child protection but rather directs such a measure to truly vulnerable children.
Many Canadians, children included, have good reasons not to trust government, largely because of the government's damaging role in their lives.
Integral to the job of investigative social workers is use of surveillance and inquiry.
Some MCFD employees who read the blog must be dismayed by the Bayne case and we would benefit to hear from them, even if anonymously."
