Can someone please explain why the Australian Newspapers to not appear to print a balanced view of child protection?  All they ever print is how hard done by the caseworkers are (even when they allow a child to be harmed), yet only print how bad parents are.  In fact, even the worst parents do most of the caring for the children, and caseworkers do nothing practical for the children. All they ever do is paperwork. So long as they get their paperwork done everything appears OK.

Why are parents time pressures and needs not printed ever, to ensure proper community supports for parents, but the papers are fixated on staffing levels and the daily routines of handsomely paid social workers?

Here is the SMH complaining about staffing level on behalf of social workers : Click here  And here they are again complaining about the daily routine... They claim to be really busy but appear to have enough time to lobby and talk to the newspapers ... Click here. What a joke.

"[W]e have the same problem, I think, in the institution of the law as well as in the institutions of our churches, etc.... [T]here is clearly a need for the inclusion in the terms of reference for the Royal Commission, under 'institution', the institution of the law. - Senator Bill Heffernan

I was given an order to produce, and I produced, documents to justify my case to the McClellan Royal Commission.  I have some of those documents here...

This one I am holding up here, for instance, asks, about boys picked up by Judge so-and-so... This is a police intelligence document that says, 'A certain judge used to pick up boys in the toilets opposite Marcellin College.'

That particular judge...allowed a father who was abusing his foster children and whom he found guilty in a closed court, with names suppressed, to go back to the family home.

Back when cases involving missing children – many of them runaways from foster care – were making headlines in Washington, D.C., Marie Cohen rushed to try to shift responsibility from a failing foster care system. She told us to be sure to remember that a majority of missing children in the District of Columbia “are fleeing their own homes, not foster care.”

That’s a testament not to the success of foster care but rather to the immutable laws of mathematics. Despite the best efforts of those pushing endlessly for a take-the-child-and-run approach to child welfare, a majority of children still live in their own homes, so those will be the homes from which a majority of runaways run.
