i was told they don’t need to have sufficient evdence to take kids out of homes. they just need a reason. social case workers think we are all guilty of things and are told by officers what ever they want to say to have these kids ripped out of loving homes and placed with people they don’t know. placed in homes where foster parents have no idea what these kids are like. nor how to care for them. case workers do not even meet with foster parents to see how the kids are coping or offer a reason why they are not with mommy and daddy. i have my kids ripped from me with “accusations” of wrong doing. not by evidence but by what a lying officer had said. i got a family lawyer to deal with this. Caseworkers will lie ad make u believe they are doing this all for the “safety”of the kids, but really, they work with the cops. social workers use a whole lot of jargon to mess with your head. i truly feel for any parent who is going thru this. but remeber if they have no reason to take these kids , FIGHT for them to get them back. god only knows what some foster homes are like. they do it for the money.

cps is NOT government, but only government funded.Certain monies have to be used in that year or they dont get the same the next term.Is that anyway to run a country?Although there is many children out there that need saving I really believe cps is overstepping the boundaries in some incidences.Some need to justify a paycheck and use anything against the parents to do so.Some parents are branded for life without justification.I for one strongly urge something to be done about them.Foster care people get a sizable amount every month to care for a child..why not use that money to help a family because most problems center around money issues.

I’m happy to hear that the parents have taken a stand to make the government responsible. I am currently advocating for 3 families in Red Deer, AB whose children are in care, or being threatened to be taken into care — or should we say, carelessness.

A few weeks ago Minister of Child & Youth Protection (or should we say persecution) was called on not receiving a report from the Child Advocate in Alberta. She was on the news being exposed for her neglect. There are atleast 1200 unsubstantiated cases of child in foster care, and 80,000 children in government custody. Whoa….it’s a crime. We’re forming a group and going all the way to the top with a letter going to Ed Stelmch, the Premier of Alberta as we speak. If there’s anyone in Canada, or in Alberta who would contact me, please feel free to give out my email address.

God bless and never give up!
