We have a right to keep them safe
I have discovered in the last six months that my role as a Mother and a Grandparent has diminished, due to the Department of Child Protection, Midland in Perth Western Australia.
Being a Ward of the State as a teenager myself and suffering server domestic violence when married, I made a promise to myself that I would do everything within my power to NEVER, allow this to happen to my children or my grandchildren and to keep them safe, know matter what the cost.
I have been doing everything for the last six years to help my daughter through a very hard time in her life, as she has had so many heart breaking things happen to her, which started when she was about 15 years old. She lost her father on the 23rd of Dec 2001, lost her grandfather and great-grandmother around the same time, she was rapped and sexually assaulted not long after these loses but was made to feel that these attacks on her, were of her own doing ( which they were not ). My daughter has had so much to contend with and I have been right by her side helping her as much as I can. I don't think she has ever been able to overcome her fear and sorrow, but has put it behind her the best way she knows how.
She is now 26 years old and has three beautiful children, whom I watched being born and had a role as a grandmother in keeping them happy, secure, safe and loved. Like my children from the time they were born, they had my heart and soul one hundred % and the joy I get from watching them grow, teaching them new things and loving them, fills my heart with so much joy and completes my life.
The unconditional love they give in return is beautiful and makes life so worth living.
My daughter went to the D.C.P six years ago now for help, as she was having problems with prescription medication and over using it. They ( D.C.P ) have been on the sidelines watching her and putting a safety plane into place, just in case it was needed. At the beginning of this year they closed my daughters case because she was doing so well.
A few weeks later her partner had left her and was giving her a really hard time, her house was broken into and things were stolen. She wasn't coping and took an accidental overdose. I was beside myself and after ringing an ambulance, I rang the D.C.P because I felt I had no one else that I could talk to, as I am a very private person. It proved to be the biggest mistake of my life. The D.C.P then put a safety plane in place, where I had to be with my daughter 24/7. I was not allowed to leave here alone with the children at all, which I did not at any time. Something was not right, I could feel it in my bones and the answers to some of my questions to them at the time, were very strange.
When I explained to them that my mother was very sick, (who lives in the country about an hour from where I live ) and asked what should I do if I get an urgent call in the middle of the night or something, they wouldn't give me an answer. I explained my concerns to my daughter that I felt that only one thing had to go wrong and I knew that they would take the children. So I stuck to my daughter like glue, so this ( the children being taken by D.C.P ) NEVER became a reality.
But sadly it did, my grandchildren were taken from us in July this year. The reason.....we supposedly broke the safety plan.
Three days before the children were taken, I had to put my beautiful dog, who had been in our family for 14 years, to sleep, as he had cancer, I was inconsolable, as was my daughter, so my beautiful daughter thinking of me, took the children and myself to a spa resort for the night. While I was in the spa two of my grandchildren were playing and one of them got her arm caught in the cord of the electric jug and was burnt by boiling water. Everything was against us, the room didn't have a phone that we could ring out to call 000, our Emergency line, know one would open their doors when I knocked frantically, my daughter couldn't find her cell phone and I had forgotten mine, which was left at home, the car broke down and it took us so long to get her to the hospital.
Anyway cut a long story shorter, they took the children from us three days later because after talking to my 5 year old granddaughter, they told us that we were lying and said that I was not with my daughter and my grandchildren, so there for we broke the safety plane, which is so far from the truth. Now we are in the process of court and trying to get them back.
My problem is that they did not take them because my daughter was on anything but because they think we broke the safety plan. In all realization they took them because of an accident.
They have been in care for five months now and so much has happened lies have been told, the children are not coping at all and have distanced themselves from us because they are not allowed to say anything, so when we ask them things, their answer is always," they don't remember". We have been reprimanded with anger by the supervisor of some of the visits, that the visits will end for the day or they can easily cancel them all together. I know that this has frightened them to the point that they just will not talk to us, about their fears or worries. The D.C.P, say, their only interest is to keep the children safe. Yet they have NEVER been in any danger. They have always had such a happy, stable and loving environment before this happened. And I see them suffering so badly because they just want to come home, but they cant. I know that they are giving up on ever coming home because of the things they say to us. Well I say, they are and always been my main priority in life. All of this has shattered my my heart. But I will continue to keep them safe, know matter where they are or who they are with.
There is so much wrong going on and I don't know what to do about it. So if anyone has advice for me I would very much appreciate it. Thanks

My Grandchildren
My Grandchildren mean the world to me. They were taken from us by the DCP and we are now struggling to get them back. We have been to court four times now in the past six months and a trial date is set, because we will not sign a two year order. The reason, we love these little ones so much and to just sign a two year order, is like giving up on them. But we will never do this. If you know you are right and you truly love the child or children, NEVER give up. I pray for everyone who is going through the same heart ache, as I. xx
