I posted here nearly 2 years ago about a political issue in my province that we need to fight. In my darker moments, I often dream of committing a large scale terrorist act to get my point across.
(No, I wouldn't, even if I had the means to purchase the explosives and mercenaries required to accomplish such a thing. But daydreaming about it gets the hatred out, so it doesn't leak all over people who don't deserve it.)
It still baffles me, how such widespread, visible and blatant acts of de jure discrimination can continue for over a decade. I've done drug test after drug test--urine AND hair, and written several Personality Inventory tests. The doctors accused me of lying and made me go through the testing again, just to be sure

My only crimes against my children were: raising them alone, to avoid exposing them to a man I didn't trust, asking for an HIV test when I decided that the father's sexual habits were questionable (both pregnancies happened as a result of broken condoms--and I was relieved but not really surprised to discover that I'm HIV negative

Through the first stages of their Gestapo tactics, I was able to get accepted to a good college, and then a leading Canadian university. I'm lucky to have been born quick-minded and resilient. Little did I know that the CAS are entitled by law to call up every service provider the families work with and slander them to anybody within those institutions. This includes subsidized housing providers, doctors, dentists, welfare offices, daycare providers. And my university. The campus PD at my school continued harassing me where the CAS left off, thanks to their whisper campaign. This ended my career before it even started.
To this day, only a handful of people believe me if I choose to mention my fight. If you mention Child Protective Services, people instantly believe that you brought the harassment on yourself in some way. Not so in my area. This is happening to thousands of families in my province. There have been public protests that weren't even given adequate news coverage before they were squashed by the police.
I've met women in homeless shelters who were making 6 digit salaries before the CAS forced them to spend everything they had on legal help. I was also homeless for a time because of CAS harassment. And yes, I resorted to a number of criminal acts, including theft, fraud and violence to keep my kids safe and away from our appalling fostercare system. I would have kidnapped them from fostercare if it had come to that. I might have even killed if I had been provoked. I think the workers understood that, bc they did back off eventually. My file with them is huge, due to all the relocating. The last worker I spoke with, only one year ago told me she wanted to close my file... after I told her that if they took him into care, I expected them to cover his dental bill, and I would be as merciless with them as they'd always been with me to accomplish that goal.

^ Here are the experts and the victims discussing the issue. It's about time some people with real political clout came forward to back us up. Watching this, I have to admit that my ordeal could have been much worse. I was at least able to find adequate housing again, reshuffle my now limited career options, and begin rebuilding in the wake of the financial disaster they put on my family.
My heart goes out to all the children and young adults who were tortured by their foster parents and/or misdiagnosed and drugged up by their pill peddling psychiatrists.
Don't ever stop fighting them.
