Here is my first letter from a former ward of CFS.
I will type out the letter as it is written.
CFS has been in my life for as long as I can remember, in reservations they bothered my mom alot causing us to move around till we moved into the city in 2010 or '11. Finally in may (late) my son was born, CFS said I was unfit to care for my son (well this one worker named Faron Whitequille) his name is stuck at the top of my head so I sent my son to my aunt who lives in a reserve for a week. Post Partum seemed to have worsen, I had called CFS to see what I can do, me and my son were put with over weight foster parents in transcona we were fine until my cousin had killed himself I had told my foster parents but they didn't budge to give me support as my mother would but they were just foster parents. They seperated us when I started self-harming moved me to a group home where I saw kids come and go just from there.
I went down hill and haven't come up since then my son moved into a nice philipino family (he's still with them)
(I did finish all the programs they had asked me to do but gave up kinda when they said it wasn't enough) the foster parent he currently stays with does take care of a couple more foster kids almost around the same age as my son. Its been 4 years since my son was taken into a new home and a year since I last saw him.
This is the letter as it was written. I told her she should start calling her worker and record her phone calls. She wrote she hasn't seen her son in a year and she lives with the pain of that as well as the abuse in care everyday of her life.
She says she jumped through every hoop they laid out for her and yet they still stole her child away from her. This is fucking inhumane.
But no one does a thing to stop child & family services and hold the abusers accountable.
Until now
