Yes, that is exactly right and I reckon that's what my dream was saying.

Child for a child.

Except I lost 3 but only "killed" one.

We most definitely want them to suffer - but at the end of the day the average parent involved with DoCS is not going to do something that completely ruins their chances of getting their child back.

Regardless of how tempting it may be.

Heck, I imagined slashing tyres, dumping paint on cars, following CSOs home and lots of other fun activities.

But I never made a move.
