**“I am a parent in British Columbia whose child was taken by MCFD. What happened to me should never happen to any family. Instead of supporting us with the least intrusive measures — as the law requires — MCFD forced removal, ignored medical and professional recommendations, and destroyed bonds that should have been protected.

My story is not unique. Every week I hear from parents and grandparents across BC facing the same trauma: children removed without proper risk and safety assessments, relatives overlooked, and voices silenced in court.

This petition is not just for me — it’s for every family who has been broken by a system that claims to protect children while causing lifelong harm. We are speaking out together, because our children deserve safety, love, and justice.”*
