In recent months, yet for what sometimes seems like forever, two people have had a profound influence on my life. The first was Velvet Martin in January 2011 and then I met Derek Hoare in June 2011. Each had their own story that touch my heart indelibly. The stories of their daughters, Samantha Martin and Ayn van Dyk, will be told here in this blog along with thousands of others with similar heartbreaking stories.
Too many families, without much support have suffered in silence. That silence must be broken. They have been betrayed in the worst way, by Government Departments/Agencies, established to protect innocent children from severe neglect and abuse. Families are being torn apart, children's rights are being violated and justice is not prevailing.
Every day I hear a story of another family suffering from similar tragic events. I am hoping over time their stories can be told here so that others may become aware of what could so easily happen to them or a family they love. Many voices together will hopefully be strong enough to break the silence, right the wrongs that have been done and put a stop to these practices of Child Protective Services.
Revisit this blog whenever you can to become aware. Offer to share your story and together we can scream through the silence and be heard. This is a global issue that needs a global response.
