When my stepson was removed I had the same gut feeling many parents in child protection have had. We had our faults but "something just ain't right".
After an extensive 5 year project, Charles McGavin has studied thousands of child protection cases and explains how children are removed from parents and rehomed for profit. "And let's not call it 'child protection', it's child removal!", he says.
Charles a multi-talented, tireless and lifelong campaigner for children and fearless campaigner for children and parents' rights speaks with Tony Tonkin, president of the Child Protection Party in this revealing interview.
He reveals how all child protection departments Australia wide tragically use the same set of templates to divide families while NGO's*, health care providers, foster care agencies and the legal profession benefit financially.
"The child removal industry could be worth one third of Australia's GDP!^"
*NGO=Non government organizations (operate independently of any government, typically one whose purpose is to address a social or political issue)
^GDP=Gross domestic product (the total of a country's earnings)
