Individuals who as children were removed from their biological families are the nation’s highest risk group to suicide. They are four times at risk than the nation’s highest population risk group to suicide; the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population of the Kimberley which is the world’s second highest population risk group to suicide – behind Greenland’s Inuit peoples.
Despite all the good work done by many in saving lives, the suicide toll, particularly for the most elevated risk groups, is on the increase. The most elevated risk groups for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are individuals removed as children from their families, former inmates, the homeless and families evicted from public rental housing. When children are removed from their families because of alleged exposure to violence, dysfunction and other perceived aberrant behaviour they are not provided adequate healing and trauma informed counselling and restorative therapies.
The removal of a child from his or her family is a significant psychosocial hit, going straight to the validity of the psychosocial self and the id and simply it hurts, for many unbearably. Where there is no prospect of reunification with the parent(s) and siblings the trauma can degenerate to a constancy of traumas. One’s familial identity is made a liability and there is a disconnection with who they are and this impacts who they will be. Doubly so for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who daily have to deal with potential racism and the negative public spectacles and ceaseless conversations that diminish their historical and traditional heritage. When your identity is manifest as a liability it rips into your self-worth.
We really need to get control freaks out of our government.

We really need to get control freaks out of our government. They're supposed to be public servants not Lords and masters. As someone who has suffered the irrational and corrupt way that child services deals with innocent parents I can say with confidence that unless your child is being starved, beaten, hog tied and kept in a dungeon they are better off with you than our crooked child agencies.

[How Victoria let down 610 children who needed help the most].
AT least one child in state care dies every fortnight and another 20 are involved in assaults in Victoria.
A shock new report reveals 27 children died in the past year while in the care of child protection workers, or soon after leaving.
The deaths of another five children who were known to the Department of Human Services were also investigated last year.
What about us? What about the children in care?

Latest reports published by the NSW government are deliberately misleading the amount of children who die under their watch. First Pru Goward blended the deaths of children in foster care with those who were “known to the system”. Now any child placed on a Guardianship Order is not even “classified” as being in out of home care, meaning those statistics have been removed/hidden also
It seems our government will stop at nothing to keep those shiny dollars coming in for the golden stakeholders, whom thrive exponentially whilst obliterating families.

Written by Corruption in Santa Clara County, California
Ashley Harris Mysteriously Vanished before Christmas in 2014. We do not know if she is alive or dead. She disappeared suddenly after publishing youtube videos about being abused by Santa Clara County CPS Social Workers. Family Court Judge Jackueline Arroyo dispatched the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Department to stalk, harass and threaten the young girl’s parents – demanding that they keep quiet and not draw attention to the abuse and disappearance of their adolescent daughter. Santa Clara County Sheriff Detective David Carroll has a history of falsifying police reports and fabricating evidence which was given exception to the Rule by Santa Clara County Public Defender Molly O’Neil. The community fears that he may harm the child because he has done things like this before. Detective Carroll is is a very dangerous predator & he assigned to investigate Juvenile / Missing Person cases. This is great cause for alarm!
