Facts and Statistics in Child Protection Industry
Most Canadians believe that their government is using child removal authority to protect children and the tax dollars spent in "child protection" activities are helping families in need. This is what government would like people to believe. The inconvenient truth presented herein, supported by the facts and statistical data, tells a very different story from many families and children who had received services from the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD).
Child protection is a noble cause. As the commercialization of many "professional" services, the nature of child protection gradually changed. It is now an abnormal product of excessive government. Most state-sponsored "child protection" activities have betrayed the original intent of protecting families and children in need.
Under the pretext of "child protection", service providers of this industry have acquired tremendous statutory power and influences on government. They determine what and how much services recipients need, define the quality of service rendered, suppress complaints and dissatisfaction of their clients. Motivated by tax dollars, special interest groups aggressively target state-sponsored activities to market their services. They employ a very successful strategy of using massive public resources to oppress a very small percentage of the population, who typically are from the underprivileged social class and are unlikely to garner enough support to combat this oppression. Lack of accountability, undue public trust on government and apathy have further worsen the problem.
The following are some facts and statistical data of this industry:
• 根據「兒童及青年代表辦公室」的《 嚴重受傷及死亡審查第三號報告》, 單在二零零八年二月到五月在兒童廳 「保護」下有已四十八個嚴重受傷及二十六個兒童死亡案例。
• 有兒童在兒童廳「保護」下自殺、被殺、死於意外、被虐待 (見兒童廳發表的統計數字)
• 根據「兒童及青年代表辦公室」的Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond (兒童及青年代表) 二零零八年的研究, 接受兒童廳「服務」下有44%的青少年面對刑事起訴, 36%入獄, 只有24%讀完中學 (資料來源: Lori Culbert, Canwest News Service published: Thursday, June 26, 2008)
• according to the findings of "2006 B.C. Budget" published by Taxwiz Accounting & Consulting Inc. in February 2006, a native child stands a chance of removal by MCFD 10 times higher than a non-native child on a per capita basis (based on the government statistics between 1999 to 2001)
• 在加拿大, 家長對子女撫養權是不受憲法保護
• atrocities like the residential school and the Sherry Charlie tragedy are possible because government has the authority to remove children from their families
• 如兒童廳的「保護兒童」社工認為您的子女在家內不安全, 他們有權隨時捉拿走您的子女。如法官判家長得勝, 「保護兒童」社工也有權在有或沒有新証據下再捉拿走您的子女。
• 1999 至 2001的數據, 在《保護兒童法》苐三十五節聆訊中兒童廳可以成功獲判您子女的監護權為98%,在這三年內沒有一個省級法官判家長無條件領回子女。
• 如兒童廳在《保護兒童法》苐四十九節聆訊中獲勝, 家長將永久失去子女的監護權, 政府可把這些兒童送去收養家庭永久寄養。
• based on information obtained through the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, foster parenting is a 9-figure industry in British Columbia each year
• 在2001年, 單是「服務計畫遞送」費用 (即付給寄養家庭、輔導、心理專家、日托服務費用… 等等), 每名兒童一年花納稅人$65,000。如其他的有關費用 (例如雙方的律師費、法庭費用、警察費用) 一起算在內, 總數更高。
• 對某些既得利益集團,「保護兒童」及收養工業是一門非常有利可圖的生意。
• 被虜兒童的家長需面對很長、很艱巨的法律程序才可得到渺小的機會取回子女。在保護兒童聆訊中, 家長沒有多大權利。
• 兒童廳和法庭很多時沒有遵循《保護兒童法》的某些原則和章節去辦事。
• 在保護兒童聆訊中, 家長往往要負起舉証自己清白無罪的責任。
• 被虜兒童每天在兒童廳的魔掌下受苦, 他們的意願小被家事法庭關注。
• 通過立法,「保護兒童」工業的特殊利益集團決定其服務的需求、壟斷服務質素的定義、忽視了客戶的需要和壓制他們的不滿。

The cartoon above depicts how special interest groups milk taxpayers under the pretext of "child protection". Unlike the family in this cartoon, most parents lose their children at the end of the process. 有子女被虜的家長需在號稱世上「最好最美麗」的地方對面以上冷酷嚴峻的事實。
