Another toddler has drowned in foster care after being removed from his loving mother just three weeks earlier. Many mainstream news outlets have publicised the death, but there has not been one mention that the child, Braxton, was prematurely taken from his mother, prior to supports being provided as per usual, and placed in the care of more lousy and careless foster carers who only care for the money the child will bring them, and not the child himself.
Time and time again, children die in the so-called "care" of the department, without anybody being held accountable.
Braxton was only two years old and his life was taken by the agency that purports to be there to protect children. It is time charges are laid for carers who kill children in their care.
Life Without Barriers was responsible for Braxtons placement with his fostercarers that ultimately led to his death. Coroner photos of the place show a filthy green pool lacking adequate safe fencing that had obviously been in a state of disrepair for months prior to Braxton drowning in it. There were also drugs and empty beer cans strewn all through the putrid house.
To this day, neither the fostercarers responsible for this tragedy - or the NGO - have been charged with his reckless death.
LWB has a long history of children being raped and dying u der their watch but somehow manage to keep their multimillion dollar for profit business of trafficking children. Maybe this is due to those who originally formed the organisation - regardless of it’s massive conflict of interest.

ALEX HILL WAS PLACED IN FOSTER CARE AFTER HER FATHER ADMITTED TO USING MARIJUANA ACCORDING TO THE Houston Press.
Joshua Hill told Texas child welfare investigators that he smoked after the child was in bed at night. A case worker determined that the father’s marijuana use and the mother’s medical condition (frequent seizures) warranted removal from the home.
The toddler had appeared healthy and happy with her parents, but she was placed into the foster care system in early 2013.
On Tuesday Alex’s foster mother, Sherill Small, was sentenced to life in prison for the July 2013 death of the little girl, who would have turned four on Friday.

Māori leaders are staging two major protests in New Zealand, straining relations with the Labour coalition government and drawing accusations that Jacinda Ardern – who is visiting the remote Pacific territory of Tokelau – is a “part-time prime minister”.
On Tuesday, hundreds of activists marched on parliament house in Wellington, as well as other New Zealand cities, calling for an overhaul of the government’s child welfare agency, Oranga Tamariki [Ministry for Children], amid a series of controversial cases in which Māori children and newborns were taken into state care.
