Today is fathers day...
I haven't seen my son in months and it has taken it's toll on me. Normally on fathers day we would go have pizza at Papa Johns or have burgers at VJ's. I am sleeping lot's and often dreaming of my son. My family says my son is doing well but he is not doing well at school.
I went for a meeting friday and will get to see my son soon. I hope he is ok. This whole process has been hell.
Imagine a government social worker taking your kid from you and the reason they give you is not the truth. It can be quite crushing and they did not even interview the people that were at the cottage when my son broke his arm. My old worker Krysta Shaw lied on the stand. They took my son away again because he was more aggressive and was saying rude comments but they put him under alot of pressure. I expected taking away his video games was going to be difficult but I did not expect to have my son stolen from me. This in no way has helped my son. This has damaged my family. There are parents that are actually abusive and terrible parents that should not have their kids.
The machine known as child and family services is the most corrupt part of Manitoba. The longer I do this the more disgusted I am. So much money wasted tearing families apart, children from parents, brothers from sisters. Yet so little is done to protect and empower these kids once the come into care. Year after year we hear different faces promise us that they are reducing the number of kids in care. Yet not much has changed from when I was a youth. Infact in many ways things are far worse from the prevalence of meth to the scale of which prostitution has increased due to the internet.
Manitoba needs to do more to proctect its CFS kids.
Canada needs to do more to protect its kids in care.
