A ABHORRID SITUATION
Disabled parents are parents too!
Please take the time to read my stories and check my site out My name is Laurie Edberg.My contact information is http://tinyurl.com/66vo2 In the Bill For Children's Rights of Divorce under paraghraph 3,13 and 17. It states the child(ren) have the right to reasonable and continued access and contact to the natural parent(s) and extended family,without the interferce of the other parent.In the case of child apprension,CPS/MCFD assumes the role of parent.// HIGHLIGHTS TYPED OUT FROM A RECENT PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSEMENT: PG 41 PARA 1: MS EDBERG HAS ONLY 3 HOUR VISITATION TWICE A MONTH - ONE CAN CONCLUDE THAT DISABLED OR,ANY SINGLE PARENT WOULD BE CHALLENGED WITH THIS ACCESS. MORE FREQUENT AND LONGER PERIODS OF ACCESS THAT PERMIT ROUTINES AND NORMAL. PARENT - CHILD INTERACTION WORK BEST FOR CHILDREN VISITING THEIR NONRESIDENTIAL PARENT, IF THAT PARENT IS RESPONSIBLE. PG 42 PARA 2: ATTACHMENT OF THE BOYS TO THEIR MOTHER IS CERTAIN, AND HER DESIRE TO BE A HANDS ON PARENT IS CLEAR, AS IS HER INTELLECTUAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPACITY. PG 42 PARA 3: MS EDBERG HAS EXPERIENCED THE HELPLESSNESS AND FRUSTRATION OF BEING DEPENDANT UPON MCFD FOR SEEING HER CHILDREN, AND AT THE SAME TIME, HAVING NO COMMUNICATIONS OR CONNECTION WITH THE FOSTER PARENT, WHO WORKS MORE CLOSELY WITH MCFD THAN SHE DOES. LAURIE APPEARS TOBE RELATIVELY HEALTHY EMOTIONALLY, HER ANGER IS UNDERSTANDABLE AND SHE HAS FOCUSED IT IN CONSTRUCTIVE WAYS. PG 116 PARAGRAPHS NUMBERED 1) ASSUMED DIFFICULTIES DUE TO DISABILITY. 2) REASONING,ANALYTICAL SKILLS EXCELLENT. 5) COMMENT ON UNDUE STESS LAURIE IS/HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO. 6) LAURIE IS A SURVIVOR - NORMAL FUNCTIONING. 7) NO DISORDERS OF DIFFICULTIES,PSYCHOLOGICAL. PG 120 2.6) LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY OF MCFD. 3.3) FOSTEWRPARENTS' DISDAINFUL ATTITUDE TOWARDS MS EDBERG. 3.4) LAURIE DESIRES MORE POSITIVE RESPECTFUL ARRANGEMENTS WITH OTHER CAREGIVERS. PG 122 5) ATTACHMENTS CONFIRMED. 5.5) BOYS PROUD OF THEIR MOTHER. PG 155 KEY PASSAGE 20.14) MOTHER NEEDS HELP, BOYS NEED THEIR MOTHER. PG 156 4) MCFD'S FOCUS ON BLAME,SHORTCOMINGS (REAL AND ASSUMED) RATHER THAN ON STRENGTHS. MORE MONEY SPENT ON KEEPING LAURIE SEPERATE FROM HER CHILDREN THAN ON PROVIDING APPROPRIATE ASSESSMENTS/SERVICES OF SUPPORT TEAM.//MY STORY IS AS FOLLOWED// I am a 39 year old mother with a disability. My first child was born May 14,1990. My twins were born Sept 25,1996. From June 1990 till this date my children have been repeatedly apprehended.We live in Courtenay,BC,Canada.The only crime I have ever commited is of having ataxia and a tracheotomy.There has never been any evidence of any type of abuse. I have been repeatedly labeled with neglect.For the simple fact that I can not run after the twins or project my voice loud enough. I have in the past succeeded in my court cases,until Febuary of 2002.My oldest son was placed in continuing care in Febuary 2002,because a couple years earlier I was basically forced to sign a voluntary care agreement.I was told by the social worker at the time,that I either place him in voluntary care or she would apprehend all three boys.In Febuary of 2002,my twins were returned to my custody.Only to have them reapprehended a few months later.My twins were placed in continuing care in November of 2004. In November of 2002,I was given a court order allowing me 4 hours once a week unsupervised with my oldest son.Since my twins were apprehended in June of 2002,I had varied visits lasting from once a week to 4 days a week for a few hours at a time.Since the court case in November of 2004.My visits and access has been limited to once a month for 2 hours.Even though I was invited by the judge to apply for reasonable access.I ALSO NEED TO MENTION,IN THIS COURT CASE THAT EVEN THE MCFD'S WITNESSES EVEN TESTIFIED THE MOTHER AND CHILDREN LOVE EACHOTHER AND THERE IS/WAS NO EVIDIDENCE OF ABUSE. I have a appeal in the supreme court set for August 2005 for my appeal to be heard and a access order to be heard in family court. On April 14,2005 in the social workers office.She had stated in front of myself and my 2 local advocates,that there was every intention of putting boys up for adoption and the appeal before the courts had no weight on their intentions.But then after a hour of discussion,she agreed to increase my access to 2 visits a month for 3 hours. Now (Feb/06)months ater this limited access. My acces has been further limited to 2 hrs twice a month. My next court date is set for June 7/06. Eventhough s.15 and s.55 in the BC legislation and Children,Family Services Act discribes how there is a obligation by MCFD and other government agencies to put proper supports as needed into the home to keep the paramount family optics in place.This has never been properly done. It seems that to MCFD it is somehow prudent to place children in care,where it costs thousands of dollars a month. Than to keep the children in the home of a loving parent, where it would cost a fraction of that money to put proper supports in the home. IF YOU ARE A ADVOCATE FOR DISABLED PARENTS, I COULD CERTAINLY USE YOUR ASSISTANCE. YOUR ASSISTANCE WILL BE A ADDED BENEFIT TO THE ASSISTANCE I ALREADY HAVE. Thank you. THIS DELAY IS NOT JUSTICE TO MY CHILDREN. Thank you for your time. LAURIE EDBERG |
