Do they really care about us?

Queenslander!

Not good. And the Queensland Government moves to block a few leaks in a truly tragic, disturbing and sorry tale.

“Abusive Queensland mums and dads will have one year to become better parents or risk having their children taken away permanently.

Child Safety Minister Margaret Keech said the policy aimed to recognise the importance of a stable, safe home environment and a loving relationship with a carer.”

Foster Care Queensland president Brian Smith says it is really just more of the same stuff that hasn’t worked:

“We've identified in the past that not-so-good practice has occurred where time frames haven't been met, but children have been placed back at home, or plans to reunify have continued, and more trauma to the child has occurred”.

Like here and here.

There are more.
