Call for action..

Child Welfare system has become increasingly detrimental to parents, children and families alike. There needs to be accountability for actions made by child welfare workers. 

My children were apprehended based on false allegations and even when provided with numerous drug tests, numerous letters from health professionals and community supports and personal reference letters. My children were still not returned. 

The judicial system is not working in weeding out wrongful apprehensions because of multiple reasons.  The length of time for trial dates and encouraging agreements to temporary orders on the false pretenses of getting children back sooner. The inability to have a transfer of care to culturally appropriate services during court proceedings is only encouraging parents to agree to temporary orders.

Major changes must take place with a focus on keeping families together rather than breaking them apart. A 3rd party must be implemented with insuring that child welfare workers are following their mandates and abiding by code of ethics and principles. 

Child welfare agencies must be held accountable for their wrong actions. They must understand the trauma they are inflicting on parents, children and families alike. 

Please help ensure that necessary changes are made!
