You are so totally correct and right on your comment Rainbow...and every parent can relate to this comment without having to compare affidavit's and stories.

I thought the Dept were accountable with the CMC for unethical practices for garbage like this let alone a court?

As a lawyer said they're 'unreasonables' but I say they think they're untouchables...Well we'll see won't we !

Hmm, the CMC can be a bit of a grey area. Oh, they're interested in things that go on with DoCS - but crime or misconduct has to have been carried out.

Misconduct itself is rife through DoCS office. So rife that it's common practice. But to get it to the CMC it's got to be juicy.

In my situation, where they hit me with a notification 48 hours after they hit a friend of mine with the exact same notification - it was juicy.

The notification was word-for-word from the exact same worker to the both of us. Same notification, same supposed behaviours from the children, same activities the children were doing.

The worker accused me of smelling a rat and putting 2 and 2 together (can't think of the word he actually used)... But my solicitor arced up straight away and said that it wasn't me who was concerned - that there were a group of SOLICITORS who are VERY concerned that were now considering taking it to the CMC.

Just 2 weeks later the worker is in a new job away from DoCS.

Wow!! that takes the award for tonight's viewing!

if you saw some of the cases that went before the cmc in concerning docs.....youd wonder how the hell they could not find anything amiss.....I was told by a gov person with stop gov security clearance that my case would overturn the whole gov....yet the cmc so no wrong....so figure that out.....

Put it this way, my friend and I heard so much of the same thing that we were beginning to think that if such a thing DID happen, then our children must have been together at the same place at the same time exhibiting these things.

But foster children don't associate with eachother as playmates and my friend's daughter lives in Toowoomba.

Both "notifications" were that much the same it was uncanny.

Conspiracy! That's the word the CSO used.

Knew it would come to me...

The CMC won't work unless the parent goes through the correct complaints protocol.

To go through the process correctly is a lengthy endeavour. A parent literally has to wait 28 days per step to allow the previous step time to respond... No response, move to next step, allow 28 days... And so on.

If a parent doesn't go through the process the way it's supposed to be done, it gets disregarded.

I know that some of you may not agree - but I got this information from the CMC themselves.

They actually thought I had a case worth looking into in regard to DoCS (my entire DoCS case that is) and they were interested - but they told me (on the sly) that it wouldn't get to where it needed to be unless the whole process was carried out properly.

I say stuff their protocol....they lost that right when they abused my rights and that of my family......they are the corrupted abusers, not me.....and that forensic psychologist.....and the children's psychologist....
