She was far grumpier this time having prepared well. The meeting was a pointless shambles:<br />- You can't take notes or record anything.<br />- Nothing was going to change the current court order.<br />- There was no doubt that the mum and dad are fine with their child.<br />- There was plenty of doubt that grandma, who is the whole reason for this disaster and was given custody, is not fine with the child.<br />- Mum and dad are drug free (having been tested) but further tests are required.<br />- Grandma smokes pot and is a piss head (as well as a psychopath) according to affidavits from every one on the other side but no drug tests are required. <br />- Grandma is messing with grandchild's mind to push a sexual molestation claim against dad. Its so predictable its almost laughable.<br />- Grandma has made calls to various govt depts pretending to be someone else.<br />- The lawyers are consistently useless and are just doing it for the legal aid money. Mum has a new one who is a bloke and he seems far more sensible than the feminists (I googled them to confirm what I suspected) engaged so far.<br />- Grandma gets hers at the next court hearing as the lies and fraud are stacking up and cannot be ignored.<br /><br />What waste of time. CYF staff are just shuffling paper and have no interest in resolving the matter. I'd deal to welfare to stop much of the nonsense at the top of the cliff and gradually bury CYF alongside their mistakes.<br /><br />I can see why some parents go nuts.<br /><br />3:16<br /><br />I'd maAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-37355676210613094642016-04-08T18:45:56.570+12:002016-04-08T18:45:56.570+12:00I too agree that this restructuring of CYF is a co...I too agree that this restructuring of CYF is a complete waste of time. The "elephant in the room" (low-income parents having too many children that they can't afford to support) has been completely ignored. <br /><br /> If disincentives were brought in (for beneficiaries thinking of having another child) then that would have a huge effect on the number of children being born in poor families. <br />But no - as usual, this *gutless* government goes for shuffling the deckchairs on the Titanic. This restructuring won't make ANY difference to either the number of children in poor families or the number of abused children.
