The presentation hearing was adjourned to January 7. We couldn’t finish in one day.
That decision means this:
I won’t be with my child on his birthday, Christmas, or New Year’s.
I’ll keep going.
But tonight, this hurts. 💔

The Ministry wrote back. But they still didn’t answer. Their letter thanked me for “advocating” and said they “hear my frustration.” But it ignored the harm, the evidence, and my son’s suffering. #DisabilityJustice #ChildWelfareReform #BringBennettHome #bcpoli
When I was hospitalized this summer, my 6-year-old son Bennett—autistic, ADHD, anxious, with a rare genetic condition—was taken from me despite medical warnings. He’s now in an unsafe placement, regressing and afraid. I’m fighting to bring him home. 💔 #BringBennettHome #MCFD #AutismAwareness #BCPoli
Two months. That’s how long my little boy has been trapped in a system that’s supposed to protect him.
He’s thinner, bruised, and quieter now. #BringBennettHome #MCFD #UnSilenced #JusticeForBennett
A mother wearing a red plaid shirt sits in a black armchair, holding her young son close in a deep, comforting hug. The little boy, wearing teal noise-canceling headphones and a red shirt with a maple leaf design, clings tightly to her, his face pressed against her shoulder. The room is softly lit, simple, and quiet—two more black chairs and a framed picture are visible in the background. The warmth and emotion in this moment are unmistakable: a mother’s love, strength, and calm, and a child’s longing for safety and connection. Their embrace speaks louder than words—a snapshot of resilience, tenderness, and the unbreakable bond between them. #BringBennettHome #MotherAndSon #AutismAwareness #NeurodiversityAcceptance #SensoryFriendly #SpecialNeedsParenting #TraumaInformedCare #DisabilityAwareness #SystemicReform #MCFDAccountability #JusticeForBennett #ParentAdvocacy #GTubeAwareness #ComplexCareKids #Attachment #FamilyReunification #ProtectAutisticChildren #DisabilityRights #CaregiverStrength #LoveWithoutLimits #AutismParent #CanadianFamilies #VancouverMoms #bcpoli #bcpolitics #mcfd
A tender moment between a mother and her autistic son. The mother, dressed in a red plaid shirt, sits in a black armchair, wrapping her arms protectively around her little boy. He’s wearing mint-green noise-canceling headphones and a red shirt with a white maple leaf, symbolizing both his Canadian roots and resilience. His face is pressed against his mother’s chest, eyes closed, seeking comfort and safety. She holds him tightly, eyes gently shut, embodying peace, love, and heartbreak all at once. The photo captures the unspoken language between them—a deep connection formed through years of understanding medical, sensory, and emotional needs. The muted background draws all focus to their embrace, a moment of grounding in the chaos surrounding their separation. #BringBennettHome #AutismAwareness #SensorySupport #ParentAdvocacy #AutismAcceptance #MCFDAccountability #SystemicReform #JusticeForBennett #SpecialNeedsParenting #ComplexCare #NeurodivergentLove #DisabilityRights #FamilyBond #TraumaInformedParenting #MotherAndSon #ProtectAutisticChildren #Attachment #GTubeAwareness #InvisibleDisabilities #LoveWithoutBarriers #bcpoli #bcpolitics #mcfd
Two months. That’s how long it’s been since Bennett was taken from me. Under MCFD’s direction, he’s endured confusion, neglect, and trauma no child should face. Two months of fighting to be heard, believed, and to bring him home. #BringBennettHome #SystemicReform #MCFDAccountability
They claim I’m asking for too much. I’m asking for truth. I’ve held the line while the system looked away. The letter names what was hidden: missing files, denials, contradictions, and a child left vulnerable. #bcpoli #bringbennetthome #mcfdaccountability #systemicfailure

“A Pattern of Harm: Documenting MCFD’s Failures in My Son’s Case.”
My son deserves better. Every child does.

Since MCFD took my six-year-old son, I’ve been living in a silence that only screams. They took my child, his joy, and our peace. But they don’t get to take the truth.

Every piece of comfort, even love, is now regulated by the Ministry. This is what family separation under MCFD really looks like.

But when a system built to “protect” children starts creating the harm, you don’t stay quiet — you document everything.

I didn’t plan to become an advocate. I just wanted my child safe.
But once you see the gaps in the system, you can’t unsee them.
So here I am — documenting, pushing back, and refusing to go quiet. #bcpoli #ChildWelfareReform #DisabilityRights #BCChildWelfare #UnSilenced #BringBennettHome
