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
