There are no statistics that will ever help you understand what it feels like to be a child abused by the child protection system. No one really watches out for these children they are all lost within a world ruled by narcissist, pedophiles and do-gooders.
A child removed from a home of poverty [aka neglect], is thrown into a broken system where true abuse becomes a life they can not escape. Even when the child is allowed visits from parents and family who can witness the physical marks of abuse - it is still ignored by arrogant workers who believe the parents are incompetent and their reports are retaliation.

One of Australia's most high-profile providers of disability services, Lifestyle Solutions, is under review by both the Victorian Government and the NSW Ombudsman after a series of deaths of its clients and other alarming reports about the abuse and neglect of some disabled people in its care.
Key points: Failings were identified after four patient deaths In one incident, a woman who had her legs amputated was left alone overnight and had no way to seek help Victorian Government cancelled contract with Lifestyle Solutions after complaints
Hume Legal - Joanna Jarasevic - picked up another easy score, that over a few months makes ten thousand dollars cash, and cashed right in. Unfortunately this lawyer was not working for the department at the time, and had no right to deliberately tank her clients case which ultimately ended up with the kids sent to foster care till they're eighteen. The case was simple, clear cut and the biggest point on her side, was the order for removal of the kids was not only unlawful - it was maladministration at best and corruption at worst.
The cow should have had this case dismissed. Instead she did nothing in almost a month. Not one affidavit. All she did was collude with the department, and used her scare tactics saying "there's heaps of evidence". Our auditors concluded the complete opposite, and to tell her clients to "consent to establishment", was giving up the battle before it started. She had a fantastic opportunity to put some overreaching lazy caseworkers in place and on the spot, and to save other families the same fate she sentenced this family to. But that would have meant doing more work, and getting paid less money in the long run. As most legal aid lawyers state "they don't get paid enough money to do affidavits". For christ sake, how can parents defend themselves when their own solicitors roll over because it's more financially viable.
Regarding the allegations - there wasn't a thing that couldn't be explained and most of their [FACS] dribble was lies. So much, it would make your toes curl, believe me. Fucking dirty child trafficking mutts. NB: This mutt was given enough notice that her clients were now informed of what happens when u CONSENT TO ESTABLISHMENT. They told her No. And she lied in court and said they said yes, making docs not have to even prove one of their single reprehensible lies. They make me sick. The whole lot of them.
Back when cases involving missing children – many of them runaways from foster care – were making headlines in Washington, D.C., Marie Cohen rushed to try to shift responsibility from a failing foster care system. She told us to be sure to remember that a majority of missing children in the District of Columbia “are fleeing their own homes, not foster care.”
That’s a testament not to the success of foster care but rather to the immutable laws of mathematics. Despite the best efforts of those pushing endlessly for a take-the-child-and-run approach to child welfare, a majority of children still live in their own homes, so those will be the homes from which a majority of runaways run.
This week the Australian Federal Police used Terrorist Legislation to detain and intimidate Australian human rights advocate, Mishka Hudson. Mishka is a potential witness for the AFP’s Operation NoEthics, a state and federal, police and judiciary coverup of children being sent to live with sex offending parents via the family court.
There is no shortage of caselaw granting custody to paedophiles in family court because the mother or child dared disclose the sexual abuse, but the outting of the system has caused a ripple effect of attacks on those daring to expose the patriarchy in family courts today.
The AFP are using every possible opportunity to intimidate witnesses including myself in an effort to silence the truth.
Taxpayers should know that the AFP involved in this matter point blank refused to investigate the mountain of evidence supporting the children’s disclosures of sexual abuse and remain adamant they will charge and jail anyone who stands up against child sexual abuse by proxy of the federal courts.
Mishka is a family violence advocate and potential witness in the Operation Noetics AFP investigation, where controversially, a parent and grandparent have been charged with stealing their own children.
These caregivers strongly claim that they were protecting their children from high risk family court orders, which placed these children at significant risk of harm.
Mishka alleges that the AFP are interfering with a potential witness, namely herself, involved in the AFP Operation Noetics through using Orweillian intimidatory tactics similar to those seen in the recent ABC raids. She believes that this is to hide the misconduct and gravely flawed police investigations and heavily biased wider operation which is protecting alleged perpetrators of significant child abuse.
A NSW doctor who is charged over his alleged role in an underground child stealing conspiracy will no longer face a stalking charge.
Grafton doctor William Russell Massingham Pridgeon, founder of an anti-paedophile party, is alleged to have been the main financial backer behind the alleged abduction ring.
The network is accused of assisting mothers who snatched their children and claimed they were being sexually abused by their fathers. Police say the allegations were baseless.
Children's Charter of Rights for all Australian states / territories attached to this article. Family and Community Services NSW state : "The Charter of Rights outlines the general rights and responsibilities of every child and young person in out-of-home-care. The NSW Children and Young Persons (Care and Protection) Act 1998 requires that these rights are supported by carers and caseworkers." BUT you will notice that none of these charters explains exactly what kids can do when they're rights are being breached ...
Children and Young Persons (Care and Protection) Act 1998 No 157 - S51 Duty of Secretary to give information to certain persons
(1) If a child or young person is in the care responsibility of the Secretary under this Part or a warrant issued under section 233, the Secretary:
(a) must, as soon as practicable, cause notice of the fact that the child or young person is in the care responsibility of the Secretary, and the fact that an application may be made to the Secretary for the discharge of the child or young person from the care responsibility of the Secretary and the procedures for making such an application, to be given to:

For her PhD, Dr Wendy Foote (2006) researched into what happens when mothers report child sexual abuse to Family Courts. She found that normal maternal anxiety is pathologised and mothers, not fathers, are labelled as mentally ill. Ironically, mothers who are mentally ill do not automatically lose residence of their chidren outside the Family Court.
In only 6% of litigated cases, accused fathers were banned from spending time with their children. In 38% of these cases, the ban related to child abuse/family violence and only 2% of these fathers were labelled as mentally ill. The notion that mothers concoct allegations of child sexual abuse has persisted despite (a) Australian and International research showing that children`s evidence is reliable and (b) research conducted with the cooperation of the Australian Family Court showed that false allegations are rare and, when they occur, the mothers usually had good reason to suspect that their children were being abused or were at high risk.
Well apart from the Australian Federal Police lying and perjuring themselves in two separate court cases in the past fortnight, doctoring the transcript of a witness interview and removing detrimental statements about certain AFP officers being named as child sex abusers, probably not too much.
Patrick O’Dea, the good doctor Russell Pridgeon and others still have ankle jewellery, and aren’t allowed interstate to attend child protection conferences with other decent human beings.
There’s also huge accolades to the Commonwealth Department of Public Prosecutions for delivering it’s biggest brief in history - around ten thousand pages of absolute rubbish that has absolutely nothing to do with the case and is merely designed to keep the judge confused with his eyes not on the ball.
Oh, they also sent our staff intimidatory letters claiming they could be a potential witness - even though all the evidence the staff members had, the AFP already have four copies of.
AND last but not least they got Border Patrol to detain out lovely Mishka Hudson at Tullamarine airport upon return from her holiday. They held her over two hours, copied her phone AGAIN, using terrorism legislation - all without a warrant.
That about covers it for now.
Almost one in ten children in NSW residential care were sexually abused in a single year, shocking new figures reveal
SOCIAL services departments are failing in their duty to care for our most vulnerable children, as shocking new figures show almost one in 10 kids in residential care homes in NSW were sexually abused in a single year.
The horrific statistic follows revelations by The Daily Telegraph last week that 41-year-old Coffs Harbour carer Dennis Kelly was facing charges of raping a 13-year-old girl living at a care home on the NSW north coast. Children living in residential care centres are among the most vulnerable in the community because they are deemed too unstable to be housed with a family.
And although they make up less than five per cent of all out-of-home-care children — the rest live with foster parents or relatives — they account for a third of all claims of sexual abuse against foster children made to the royal commission into child abuse.
Once again the governments own statistics prove children are at a risk of 8.4 times higher of dying when placed into foster care.
In 2014, 79 children died in NSW. 11 of those children were in out of home care. [1] This means that 7 % of the children who died were removed from parents [alive] and were protected to death by the department [FACS].
There were 1,400,000 children under the age of 15 years in NSW in 2014, [2] leaving a total of 1,373,576 children not in OOHC. And of those children, 68 died. There were 26,424 in out of home care NSW in 2014. [3] And of those children [in care] 11 of them died.
This means that:
The rate of children dying in foster care is 1 child death per 2,402 children.
And the rate of children dying not in foster care is 1 child death per 20,199 children.
