| Josiah tucked in the padding of his carseat |
He was legally removed from the custody and care of his mom and dad on the day of his birth.
His three siblings were already in foster care as prescribed by the Ministry of Children during the past three years, pending the outcome of a judge's decision.
That decision came almost one month later after Josiah's birth when the Ministry's application for a Continuing Care Order was judiciously dismissed but the three children were retained in temporary care for three more months. That order is completed on June 2nd.
Josiah in a separate court order was similarly retained in care based upon the minimal risk factor that the judge assessed to Josiah's parents. They have three months in which to overcome that guessessment.
I trust that all of the effort that these parents are making to validate their sincerity and parental capability will be accurately interpreted and represented to MCFD decision-makers. Too much time has passed. I do not want to see this little boy grow through childhood years as his sister and brothers have done.
Josiah's destination is HOME.
How could anyone think that it is better for this baby to be away from his loving parents. This family should have been reunited a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteWhen people are voting, they might want to consider which party is least likely to expand and support the power of MCFD, and government in general.
NDP wants accountability and transparencey when it comes to the CAS. ORANGE should be the colour of choice if child welfare is important to you.
ReplyDeleteThe current election is federal - MCFD is provincially run.
ReplyDeleteDoes no one recall what NDP did the last time they were in charge?
ReplyDeleteDiscussion of who to vote for federally doesn't have much impact on child protection as they are all run provincially.
From a philosophical point of view, the NDP isn't really against big government, and all that it represents. I would vote Libertarian if I wanted to get rid of MCFD.
