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
What Two Months of Government Custody Has Done to My Child
Two months apart, and my son’s body is telling the story the ministry won’t. Bruises, weight loss, complications at his G-tube site—each ignored while bureaucracy hides behind “delays.” I’m fightin…

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
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

I just published a new post on my blog:
“A Pattern of Harm: Documenting MCFD’s Failures in My Son’s Case.”

My son deserves better. Every child does.

A Pattern of Harm: Documenting MCFD’s Failures in My Son’s Case
When my six-year-old son, Bennett, was taken by MCFD while I was hospitalized, every safeguard meant to protect him was ignored. Medical teams warned the Ministry not to separate him from me — his …

Today I sent a formal letter to MLA John Rustad, calling for urgent action against MCFD’s unlawful removal of my son, Bennett, and the ongoing breaches of duty that have endangered his health and safety. #BringBennettHome #BCPolitics #MCFD #ChildWelfareReform #JusticeForBennett #bcpoli #johnrustad
A System That Failed My Son: My Letter to MLA John Rustad About MCFD’s Unlawful Removal of Bennett
When MCFD took my son Bennett without cause, they shattered more than policy — they broke a young, and vulnerable child’s sense of safety. For two months I’ve fought to bring him home while the min…

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

They Took My Son — and Then His Joy
A small Paw Patrol watch became another thing the system took—proof of how love gets policed.
