Ignoring the Obvious Posted on February 16, 2020 by Crystal Hello World! So, to say the very least the meeting that I had recently attended with the members of the Organization involved in this mishap; was a waste of time and completely useless. Regardless of the fact that my son persists to express his feelings and there have been multiple concerns since things have begun. They remain to ignore the obvious “Red Flags,” and sent a follow-up letter some few days later. Believe you me; when I read what they had to say I couldn’t believe my eyes! (you will find a picture of the letter below. Keeping personal information hidden of course) They really want to encourage an abusive relationship? They don’t see a problem with the fact that he doesn’t know how to dress himself at 8 years old? (this being with pants that have strings or a symbol on the front nonetheless); the ones that are typically the easiest for a child to know which way the correct way is! Not even considering the fact that he knew how to properly dress himself at the age of 4 when “Round One” between the Organization and myself had been taking place… Or as some of the people that may have read my book would know it as – “The November Nightmare.” Truthfully… when I read the letter it really seems to me like more of a so called “Wild Card” (I guess you can say). Almost as if they are testing me to see what’s more important to me; or as one would have it – what bothers me more. The fact that the Child Protection Organization has refused to protect my son; or the fact that they came after me for trying to get them to do so. Can’t say I am too sure as what I am supposed to think; but I do think that maybe treating it as such would be the safest idea. It’s just so frustrating when there have been so many concerns that have come up in the last 8 months or so that this has been going on – that the members of the Organization persist to ignore. This includes safety concerns! Letting my little boy climb a ladder with a handful of nails; with no spotter on the bottom and his father on the roof! Worst part of it all – the Organization claims to have “no evidence;” but meanwhile they have the admittance of what had previously transpired by my son!! YES he told them about what happened and they STILL Haven’t done a thing to protect him!! Wild isn’t it!? But seemingly enough – I am the bad guy for trying to protect my son and try to get the members of the Organization to do their job!? Idk… I do have mediation coming up.. Praying to all the God’s and Goddess’ of the World that it goes well for the sake of my little man! With that being said; think I am going to leave you all for now. Until next Time!

Possibly Light at the End of the Tunnel Posted on February 6, 2020 by Crystal Hello again World, So, I have a very important meeting tomorrow; and I will admit, I am a bit nervous. There is a lot on the line when one considers the current situation at hand that I have been dealing with. My counsel says that if things go smoothly and get figured out it should work in our favour…I just pray to all the God’s and Goddesses of the World that he is right for the sake of my child. I do have hope… it’s not that I don’t. But I do know the kinds of games this Corrupt Organization tends to pull on people; (especially me). Already pulling the rug out from my husband and myself once before when making a “Family Center Service Plan” during a meeting with the case worker. Most people that have had previous involvement with the Organization are well aware of the fact that a Family Centre Service Plan is ususally only done when the intention is to have the child return to the care of the parents. Although, that may be very well what the case worker had us believe during the meeting. Even asked for me to provide things that would assist when they were to meet with their supervisor the following day. So, providing the case worker everything I could to assist them with ensuring that my child were to be returning to the care of my husband and myself…the rug was pulled out from under us; and group access was the outcome. So now, here we are. Six (6) months down the road since the beginning of this whole mishap – mediation yet to come; and things haven’t changed. My child at the end of our “supervised access” visits that are only an hour and a half long. My eight year old (whom has a global developmental delay which in turn causes a cognitive delay for my child); always becomes very distraught and beyond upset when access comes to an end. Throwing himself around, screaming, insisiting he does not want to go etc. On more than one occassion, even stating aloud where a worker had been close enough to hear him what his wishes are and how he feels. Now, according to the Child, Youth and Family Services Act under Section 74 (Best Interests of a child); it clearly states in there “the childs wishes and views if they can be reasonably ascertained” (this is off the top of my head). However, in this case that doesn’t seem to really matter; and the members of the Organization involved have made it clear that they are only going to take the delay of the child into consideration when it suits them. You wonder why I am nervous about this meeting tomorrow. I just really pray that my counsel is correct for the sake of my child; that things go smoothly, and we can figure this out. Hopefully, there finally being a light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks everyone! Until Next Time – “Tough Times Don’t Last. Tough People Do” ~ Brett Kissel Ciao! xoxo
Mind Goes Wild Posted on January 30, 2020 by Crystal Hello World! Do you ever hate the way that something can get to you so badly and bother you so much that you almost can’t help but think about it? I find that happening to me all the time when dealing with the Family and Children Services Organization. Eventhough it seems as though the current situation I am dealing with seems to be progressing in a better direction. When things happen, I can’t help but get anxious and wonder why…why the members of the Organization all of a sudden want to change something. Is it a good thing? A bad thing? Are they just playing games still? I have done my best to remain hopeful with respects to things as a whole… but when push comes to shove and I have to see my little boy’s heart break twice a week during supervised access because of things transpiring the way they are. It’s not always easy to say the least… (and ya wonder why my anxiety goes off when things change?). All in all, I can truthfully say that I do pray; not just for the sake of my own son but for the sake of all the children and families out there that this Organization have harmed. That my book series makes a difference when in regards to Child Protection as a whole; and for the better. That is my goal! Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts about the real child protection corruption that goes on… and that I am dealing with. Until Next Time Everyone – We WILL SPEAK UP AND SPEAK OUT! Take Care Everyone! Ciao
