I need to be able to speak in Parliament to have laws changed so that the Children's Court has power to act against any Care and Protection service of children or young people. At this time the Court has no power to breach the CPS (or individual officers) on breaking Court orders, hold CPS (or individual officers) in contempt of Court, have little power to make specific orders in the "best interest of the child", or criminal charges of those officers who have placed a child in a situation where they have been abused. Additionally few rules of "normal law" apply and evidence is being used such as 3rd,4th,6th or 7th hand hearsay evidence as fact like Chinese whispers.

The CPS or DoCS, continually breach orders of the court, require little or no evidence to remove children, place children in unsafe situations and the Court can not hold them accountable as they are bound by legislation.

To be able to get into Parliament to speak about a change to legislation, I need as many signatures as possible and certainly over 1000.

I have approached every minister in Canberra seeking to take me before parliament on these matters... the ministers will not even touch CPS.

Too late for two little girls left in our care until docs took them and put them with a couple later charged with making"kiddy" porn.

Docs need to be accountable for what they say & do. There are over 10,000 families falsely accused in Australia. Too many people to ignore

as far as i'm concerned these scum need to learn their lesson n stop playing with our kids life especially in my case WODONGA CHILD STEALING OFFICE stealing my 6wk old son Callum Vodden because you got false reports & supposedly got your info " IN GOOD FAITH" It was all bs on the flimsy evidence you used to steal Callum in the first place n then continue on with your lies including FALSE NEURO PSYCH REPORTS YOU CLAIM WERE MINE NOT you have me mixed up with someone else & also claiming a number of MEDICAL CONDITIONS I HAVE (THEY ARE NON EXISTENT) and you can't prove otherwise. you had no right stealing my son in the first place because of liars. You Minister Mary Wooldridge for Victoria you yourself should be held accountable for the corruption into stealing of innocent children LIKE MY SON I hope your happy stealing other peoples children n putting them in care & in the meantime those corrupt sc*m & you get to go home to a warm home n your oh so perfect life NOT n spend time with your children or grandkids & partners while you make everybody elses life a living hell n tear families apart.

how many children continue to get wrongfuully removed on false allegations lied to by the docs. docs make false reports children are placed in fosyer care get abused or end up dead. and they get money for every child they take now listen to tim carmody enquiry that states systematic failures throughoutt the dept and make changes now before another child is abused or killed in care deal with the family within the home environmentt most of these case workers themselves have committted crimes as well as crimres aginst humanity tthese chilldren are then returned if they are ever returned majority not to the parents with signs of trauma mental illness suffer anxiexty and emotional abuse from being removed are you protecting our children no i do not think so traumatizing yes and then you are putting them on psychotropic drugs eg antiphsychotics , amphetamines because you traumatized our children
