URGENT: Injustice by the Ministry of Children and Family Services in 100 Mile House, BC

I’m writing today to expose the unjust and unlawful actions I have been facing at the hands of the Ministry of Children and Family Services (MCFD) in 100 Mile House, BC. My 15 year old daughter was supposed to be away from me for just two weeks while I worked on improving myself. It’s now been almost a year, and despite having no actual evidence of wrongdoing, the Ministry continues to keep us apart based on nothing but malicious lies and personal conflicts with a social worker.

Legal Violations and Injustices:

1. Breach of the Child, Family, and Community Service Act (CFCSA)
I signed a Temporary Care Agreement with the person my daughter was placed with, under the understanding that this was temporary, consensual, and could be terminated by me at any time. According to Section 8 of the CFCSA, parents have the right to cancel such agreements at will, unless a court order is in place, which is not the case here. The Ministry and this individual have unlawfully refused to return my daughter, despite me fulfilling my responsibilities and clearly stating my desire to end the agreement.

2. Lack of Evidence and False Allegations
No actual evidence of any wrongdoing has been presented to justify keeping my daughter from me. The Ministry has chosen to act on malicious lies and fabricated claims, for no reason other than the fact that the social worker assigned to our case and I do not get along. Despite these false allegations, I have passed every house inspection with flying colors. I have also provided them with letters of support from community members, attesting to my good character and confirming that the accusations made against me are completely false. Furthermore, the police have been called multiple times on false reports, and not once has anything wrong been found not any charges layed. 

3. Violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
My right to security and liberty under Section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms has been violated. The person my daughter was placed with, along with the Ministry, has spread defamatory and fraudulent claims about me, all without providing any factual evidence. The emotional toll this has taken on me, my partner, and my daughter has been immense, yet the Ministry refuses to investigate the truth of these claims.

4. Failure to Conduct Drug Testing
Despite the original allegations being related to drug use, the Ministry has never once conducted a drug test on me. Not one test. I have repeatedly requested that they do so, but they have failed to take this basic step to verify or disprove their initial allegations. I have also taken a Drug and Alcohol Treatment course and a Child Psychology course online, presenting my certificates to the Ministry as proof of my commitment to self-improvement. Still, they continue to ignore this evidence and rely solely on unfounded rumors and personal vendettas.

5. Violation of Parental Rights Under the CFCSA
I was supposed to remain involved in all major decisions regarding my daughter’s schooling, health, and well-being. Under Section 30 of the CFCSA, parents have the right to be informed and consulted on these matters. However, I have been excluded from everything:

The school has been instructed not to provide me any information about my daughter’s education from her current care taker. He's opened up a bank account in her name that he has full access to. 

My daughter has had multiple suicide attempts, and I was never informed.

She has seen a psychiatrist and been medicated without my knowledge. The medication caused her to faint, and I was still not told of that either. 

My daughter got her nose and belly button pierced, again without my knowledge.

She is allowed to drink alcohol on the weekends, despite being just 15 years old.

The person she is with forces her to work almost full-time while also attending school. She is exhausted, and she calls me crying because she just wants to come home. This is child exploitation, and it’s breaking her spirit.

 

6. Violation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child
Under Article 9 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, children have the right to maintain a relationship with their parents unless there are clear and proven reasons to separate them. No such evidence has been presented, yet my daughter remains in an emotionally manipulative environment that the Ministry has done nothing to address. She is too scared to tell the truth because she fears the repercussions from the person she’s staying with when they find out she’s been honest about her situation.

7. Breach of Privacy Rights
The person my daughter was placed with has accessed her personal communications and shared them with the Ministry without my consent. This is a direct violation of our rights under the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) in British Columbia. I have not authorized the use or disclosure of my daughter's private messages, yet these have been sent to the Ministry in an attempt to manipulate the situation further.

8. Defamation and Criminal Harassment
I have been the target of false accusations, defamation, and criminal harassment by the person who is holding my daughter and the Ministry’s social worker. These individuals have spread lies and gone to extreme lengths to portray me as an unfit mother, despite multiple letters from the community stating that my partner and I are good people. The Criminal Code of Canada (Section 264) prohibits criminal harassment, and yet this is exactly what has been happening through their ongoing attacks on my character and their false claims to authorities.

 

My Efforts:

I have taken a Drug and Alcohol Treatment course as well as a Child Psychology course online, and I have presented the Ministry with my certificates, coursework, and tests, showing my commitment to becoming the best version of myself for my family.

Every single house check has been passed with no issues.

I have collected multiple letters from community members confirming that the allegations made against me are false and that I am a good parent.

Despite this, the Ministry has ignored the truth and allowed the lies to persist, keeping my daughter from me for almost a year.

This separation has gone on far too long, and I fear that any more time apart will cause permanent damage to the bond I share with my daughter. She was supposed to be gone for just two weeks, but nearly a year later, we are still being kept apart, with no evidence and no legitimate reasons to justify this.

My Rights and What I Demand:

The right to terminate the Temporary Care Agreement as outlined in the CFCSA (Section 8).

The right to fair and impartial treatment under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Section 7).

The right to be reunited with my daughter under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

The right to privacy under the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA).

The right to be involved in decisions about my child’s life, as guaranteed under the CFCSA (Section 30).

The Ministry is legally obligated to act in the best interest of the child, and they have failed to do so by allowing this continued separation based on unfounded lies. They are not protecting my daughter—they are harming her by keeping her away from her family and the loving environment she deserves.

Please help us by sharing this post, offering legal advice, or supporting us in holding the Ministry accountable for their failures. The system is broken, and I will continue fighting for my daughter’s return and for the justice we deserve. Ând don't get me started that we are both indigenous ánd religious and been denied those rights as well.
