The truth of the matter is that we can NOT completely protect our children from abuse - yet we are expected to.

I'm not going to appologise for the inability to be a miracle worker.

"Abuse" is an umbrella term to DoCS... There are a whole heap of definitions that fit under this umbrella and DoCS squash anything they like under there to add to the mix.

My major issue is that even if our children are removed from us, they are STILL subjected to what DoCS would call abuse.

They are subjected to abuse by CSOs, the police, foster carers and even school teachers - all of whom have the exact same idea about treating a child as the parents do!!
