Birgitta (Gitte) Nielsen Carney from Adelaide, South Australia
I have been following this tragic saga
for a while now and I must say that I
am appalled at the lack of accountability
shown by the NWS police dept and DoCS.
And even after all this publicity they are
*still* carrying on in the same aggresive
manner.
As to DoCS staff not having *any* suitable
training, well, I can't think of anything publishable
to say. How can an organisation charged with caring
for children and famillies possibly justify hiring staff
who have no basic child care or counselling skills
whatsoever?
How can they justify not telling the parents *exactly*
why they want to take the children? Surely it is in the
child's best interests if the parent know what the problem
is so they can work to correct it. How can they justify keeping
information about the child from the parents? Where do they get
this information from? Do they scrutinise their sources of
information as closely as they scrutinise the parents? If not, why not?
How can they justifiy taking a child on alleged medical grounds
when they have no medically trained staff present when the child
was taken and the child wasn't immediately taken to a medical
facility? The questions go on and on. I wonder if there will ever
be any answers forthcoming.
As to you being accused of following the advice in books. Those books were in all
likelihood written by people who had more training in infant care than the DoCS staff.
I have read *lots* of books since my first baby, that's how I found out about all the
benefits of breastfeeding and a whole variety of other things about parenting and how
to be good at it. Maybe we should come up with a list of recommended reading for DoCS :)
Since when is being educated and informed a crime? Parenting is probably the most important
job we will ever have so it makes sense to try to get as much *current* and *medical* knowledge
as we can. I can't understand why some people despise books.
I just get really *angry* at the stupidity of some people and very frustrated that there isn't
always something that can be done to stop them. I also hate the thought that the people who have so
upset your family will probably get away with it and move on to do it again. I also hate that I can't
tell your neighbour what I think of what she did to the three of you, but maybe that's just as well :)
