It is with dismay that I inform you, the public, of a court order today placing an innocent child back into the care of his mother whom has a history of mental illness and criminal activity. Nothing has changed, she is still not fit to be a parent (no courses completed or stabilisation of mental health issues and violence unaddressed) and the child is terrified, but the services involved have deemed it necessary, instead of the alternative,- placing him with a caring relative or non related caring significant other,- to force him to return to a place that holds significant traumatic memories, none of which have been or are being addressed. This young person's crisis-based actions have now resulted in two court cases that have thrown his placement into uncertainty, effectively punishing the young person and reinforcing the idea that the young person is to blame for their ongoing trauma. This young person " has asked " to be placed with a significant other who is willing and able to place him, however his wishes are not considered. HOW IS THIS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CHILD ?With a weekend coming up and services stretched how will they respond to a suicide attempt (which has been already voiced by the young person) Will a statement of “we could not have foreseen this shocking outcome”, cover it this time? Or “We have conducted an initial review of the claims, and found no evidence for most of them". This is happening everyday, we need you the Australian public to stand up and support us, those caring for and trying to protect the innocent. PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE TO SHOW ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Where is the accountability? Please help, it's not rocket science, do what is in the best interests of the children, not the best interests of the services!
