Docs took my kids cause l use to have Post-natal Depression
Print this page
Send to friend2/9/09 A Punishment for having Depression.
l am deeply concerned for the actions of DOCS wanting to take full responsibility for the care of my children, until they are 18 years of age, l feel like l am being punished for having a disorder that was beyond my control!
I was diagnosed with Post-natal Depression, shortly after the birth of my first child Emily and suffered with it through out my second and third children (Michael and Alexander ), but was able to rise above this depression, and get on top of it with the help from my doctor and medication, before and after l gave birth to my fourth child Haley.
The last 2 years l have been going strong, strong enough that l was able to attend the work force again, and finally be able to provide for my kids emotionally and financially.
I no longer suffer from Post-natal Depression and should not be punished for being unwell in the past or having this disorder that so many women get.
Isn't the punishment of being unwell and having to suffer such a horrible disorder that caused me to not be able to bond with my children like most mothers do with out Post-natal Depression, punishment enough!
I have worked very hard, since l have gotten over this depression to bond and love my children and try and get back the years that l so long-ley wish to have back and have missed due to this Depression taking hold of me.
Why now, that l am well do l need to be punished for a disorder that no longer controls or consumes me!
I love my children and have done everything in my power to make sure they know that l love them and want for nothing.
If l am to be punished for having Post-natal Depression after the birth of my children, then maybe every mother through out the world that has or still suffers from Post-natal Depression should no longer have there children!
Wow! That would be a lot of children in care from women giving birth to the miracle's of life, especially considering that 1 out of 10 women suffer from Post-natal Depression, and that every women deals with Post-natal Depression differently and that Post-natal Depression effects every women differently.
So if 1 in 10 women get Post-natal Depression in Australia alone and there is a population of 21,587,330 people and we say that half that population is women being 10,793,665, So we say every 10th women that gets Post-natal Depression, and if those women that get the Post-natal Depression only have 1 child, and if the government took that 1 child from the mother due to the foolish things the mothers has done while having the extremely horrific disorder then that means that 1,079,366 children will be going into care over an illness that men will never understand! or have!, but that 1 in 10 women don't have a choice in getting! But to then take children away from a mother that has since become well?
That mother should be commended for finding the strength to get help and get better so that she may enjoy her children and salvage what little time left she has with them before they enter the Big wide world ahead of them.
My past and the things l have done while l had Post-natal Depression is not something l am trying to run away from, nor do l deny, even though l don't remember most of it, but for my children and myself to be punished for a Disorder that was placed upon me through no fault of my own, is unfair and unjust.
My children are my life and they belong with me.

Re: Docs took my kids cause l use to have Post-natal Depression
they must be scientologists as they don't believe in pnd. I had it too.
Please come to our protest next Friday, 13 November 2009 at 10am
I feel for your pain! It is just shit what they put us all through. We have organised a protest for next Friday 13 November 2009 at 10am at Parliament House, Sydney (Macquarie Street). So far I have 4 people, but, if we don't start we won't get anywhere as Parliament House sits for 3 months. If verybody on this site could join us, we would make so much more of an impact. I don't care about media, I just want the politicians to take note and change the legislation and stop the absolute abuse of power within the department.
If you want to come, please post a 'reply' here or, if you are logged in, click on the email icon under the Avatar icon.
You take care and all the best.

I really would love to attend, Due to the lack of funds, this stops myself in doing so.
I am sure all here will understand when I say. heaps of money has been exhausted due to battling with Docs.
Five years of money going down the drain and I now live from pay to pay.
I can tell you to 100% the Politicians are fully aware.
Cheers

Protest
I understand and I wish you all the best in your continued efforts. What they are doing is criminal and I know the politicians are fully aware of it... I spoke at the Woods Commission last year and got gagged by the Childrens Courts for my efforts. I'm doing this because I am so sick of the waste of the last 2 1/2 years of my daughter and my life and I'm fed up. DoCS have now gone for Supreme Court costs against me so I will probably have to declare myself bankrupt becuase of the astronomical fees from all the fighting... grrrr. But I wish all the best and hope that something changes for the better for you - and soon. Take care, sv
Diplomatic protesting approach.
Thank you sv.
Yes, what some personals of the dept do, Is very Criminal and also very Accountable.
I have gone way beyond being sick seeing my life going to waste, seeing humans suffering from the so called protectors,mine has been over five years.five years of not placing one eye on any of my children.
So I now approach this from their level,Diplomatic, Hence to why, I really can tell you to 100% all politicians in concern are Fully aware.
And dare I say, It does not stop there, your protesting march well only place icing on the cake :), to which, I truly wish I can be there.
I also hope all goes well for you, in gathering more abused citizens, also if you like and if you have not done so,place your ads on Face Book and Tweeter.
Take care

Your suffering is so great
Catch, you have suffered so much and my heart bleeds for you and for all of us who never thought we'd be 'the ones' who have had this nightmare happen to us. I know the protesting won't do much, but hopefully it will gather some numbers... I know it may only be 5 of us but it's a start. But I thank you for your good wishes and hope something positive, for God's sake, comes right for you. Please take care of yourself, sv

Re: please register
My son was treated for his depression at the long term drug rehab in oakland which was surprising but i guess they work with all types of problems.
DOCS Protest
I am not that computer literate, but am having difficulties replying and communicating within the forum! Believe you me, I have been fighting for 2 1/2 years, have been gagged by the courts and am now at the Supreme Court and District Court. I have not won yet, as my ex-has full Parental Responsibility with the FULL support of DOCS, who have stated 'It is no longer a care and protection matter' but refuse to let me get my daughter back or even get it into the family court. I lost my daugther because of Domestic Violence (and yes, I was diagnosed with post natal depression) however, my child was a sick baby who was tube-fed at Sydney Childrens Hospital. All this did was contribute to Mandatory Reporting of Risk of Harm reports, by the hospital and the police. I rang DOCS for help because I was a single mother with no help, except for an 8 month relationship when my daughter turned 3, hence the domestic violence issues. I have had a past criminal record, but nothing DOCS didn't remove my child, as they had no concerns about that at the time! If anyone is able to join a protest, which I want to do Friday 13 November 2009, please let me know! (I have read there is a protest somewhere on this site for (14 December 2009?)but Parliament are not sitting then.
If anyone is interested, please post a 'reply' here or, if you are logged in, click on the email icon under the Avatar icon.
It has to be this date, as that is when Parliament is sitting. My solicitor has advised me that this is the only way we can make a difference. If I don't hear back from many members, it is not probably worth going ahead with this protest on my own, so I need to know who is with me? I live in Sydney and am hoping we can organise some numbers to make a difference at Parliament House, in Macquarie Street, Sydney. Please reply to this post, or click the email icon under my Avatar, if you are in, otherwise I'm not sure what else I can do...
