Three months of near hell

Send to friendThree months ago, my son made an inappropriate comment at school. He is 5, and was playing in the playground with other little children. Someone over heard the comment, and reported it to someone else who reported it to the teacher, and then she reported it to DCP. They went to the school and interviewed my son, and then came and saw me the next day. I did not hear anything from the school. Three weeks later he was put in a room with two police officers for two hours, and then DCP asked to interview my other son. I told them they could if they allowed a responsible person in with them. The next week I asked them if they were ready to interview him, and they said no. The very next day they went to the school and interviewed him. Then they interviewed my other children at school. Then they ignored me for six weeks. I was told I had to keep the children from their father, and they wouldn't even return my calls. Then out of the blue, they call me again to remind me that the 'investigation' is still ongoing. I finally get a little tougher, and they pull their finger out and tell me that they are waiting for the police to get back to them. Then the police interview the children's father, he tells them to take a running jump - if they have spoken to five of his children and no one has said anything, then they have nothing - then the police go, oh ok, we are done. No charges. No apology. I am still waiting to hear back from DCP what they are going to do. Meanwhile, this has been going on for over three months. If you have something, you have it. It shouldn't take seven interviews weeks of non communicating and false answers to get to the truth. This department needs to start taking care of families. I know there are poor children out there who need the support of this agency, but they are ruining families. Who is going to look after the children of innocent families, when they are torn apart by this agency's inadequate care?

Another abused by a false allegation
This is just typical that some scumbag starts a false allegation against your family that unleashes hell for months to come.
Have a read of this from aus-city.com. Read it to the end as us the parents must do what we have to as to informing the public to what is happening Australia wide.

This is happening everywhere
The trouble today is if you are fighting with say a neighbor or someone you work with or anyone that doesn't like you some know that maximum damage can be done by ringing any child protection agency.
Forget ringing the Cops telling them you have stolen car parts in your back yard, Forget ringing Centrelink telling them that your dole bludging husband actually works on the side, forget ringing the Tax man and dobbing your husband in for doing cash jobs instead of paying Tax Oh no the above cause little damage so what do they do to cause maximum damage if you have Children, Lets call your states Family services and put a complaint in or in your case I bet its someone at school that doesn't like you or your family.
All it takes is one well placed word you know.
To 3 Months of Hell
Welcome! You are now officially going to be tormented until they DO FIND SOMETHING. And believe me, if they don't find it, this will fuel them even further to MAKE IT HAPPEN as soon as possible.
Wait until you have to go to court..... they'll wait and wait until soemthing crops up. So hold yourself together, because they will anger you until you say or do something that offends them. Then they'll exaggerate the story, even with witnesses you will have no leg to stand on, once they say you did or said this or that, then that's how it sticks FOREVER ON YOUR FILE FOR ALL FUTURE WORKERS TO READ.
My advice is SUCK BLOODY HARD. They're your kids and you have now entered into something without even knowing it, you are in for a journey. It's kinda too bad you don't have soemthing small for them to go on, because now they just work all the harder trying to get something.
Oh - and they'll adjourn your court cases over and over and over and over again because THEY HAVE NOTHING!!!!!!!!!
Sorry you are here, sorry to hear you have had to endure what you have so far, but be very very careful about demanding answers from them. This will only fuel their case.
When I stopped calling Politicians, they stopped harrassing me. Good Luck!
Jury convicts on emotions not evidence
A teenager in our family made (sexual) allegations against her uncle, only after the uncle had disciplined her for the way she treated her autistic sister.
Child protection investigated and cleared the Uncles name. Even a forensic psychologist confirmed his innocents.
The Police however, took the case to trial anyway. As it turned out this teenager had copied a friends real story of sexual abuse, and pinned it on the Uncle she did not like.
She had also had a history of making false allegations against her father for physical assault.
The jury still convicted the innocent man, because when the teenager was cross-examined she cried, said she doesn't remember the details, but it must have happened.
The police like it when the jury decide these cases because it takes the responsibility off their hands, and they cannot be held accountable.
In these trials physical evidence is not used.
Time line and time frames are not used because teenager can say i dont remember, or like 3 or 5 years ago..airy fairy details.
Men can not defend airy fairy remarks, and do not have a leg to stand on.
The jury decide on an emotional level, and not an intellectual level.
This process is not fair on the jury either, they are drawn to feel sorry for under 16 year olds.
Court systems should differentiate between teenagers and children under 12. Teenage years are often a period when all boundaries and adult authority is tested to the brink.
grandparents
grandparents are put through hell too.....i had fifty, yes fifty attack me, most of whom never met me or knew me....and they returned the children to a common dangerous criminal.....so much for being friends with the minister.....they move mountains and abuse children to get what their mates want.
Court order.
Did DOCS do all that without a court order?
There are certain things that need to be set in place before people can start putting you and your children through the shredder. A simple few question from a school teacher is one thing however a fully blown investigation is a total different story. Whether they take your children or not the hoops they made you jump through can not be done at a DOCS level unless you signed their voluntary assessment order.
Did they have a fully trained child social worker do the interviews?
What other things have they exposed your children to during their assessment?
Have they confirmed what their concerns are? Because there might be problems at the school with teachers or someone else and they have failed to notify the parents of any concerns what-so-ever and left the parents in the dark and your child may still be at risk.
Where is the child learning these types of things being said? If it is inappropriate behaviour for them at the school and to state learning this behaviour at home is questionable, then the same scrutiny should be placed upon the school and teachers.
My point is, the investigation should not of stopped at the home. DOCS and police should of went through all the teachers and workers that have limitless access and power over to your child/children.
These are ideas and things you can say to squash DOCS and the flipping school and stop them using your children as a device to humiliate your parenting. A thing to remember is a good load of child abuse complaints over the last 50 years point directly at teachers and schools
No one touched me in my family, and I mean nobody, but some of those teachers and brothers could not stop trying, it was like an every day thing to fend off the teachers attempts to get his morning time jollys. It is very plausible that the school is at fault here and your child is being psychologically introduced to unhealthy themes either by a teacher or indirectly from teacher via another child.
This is the type social interaction all these weirdoes at DOCS go on about. Children can learn the worst types of behaviours at schools. WTF is being done about this?
Without taking away from those who truly want to teach “people” in genera or teach for a career, I have grave concerns about any teacher or youth worker who specifically desires to be with and actively sought to work with children.
No I don’t trust Johnny Apple the blue card child hunter.
