Sunday Mail article Caution - death is mentioned This article was in today's Sunday mail and thought I would post the story here...caution, before reading, death is mentioned. It's good I feel to put a warning for parents and others to choose to want to read these sorts of stories. And to think this story came out after the last article on the Child Protection Series by Margaret Wenham... http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story...11,00.html Toddler drowns in foster family's pool Sarah Vogler and Paula Doneman January 4, 2009 Sunday Mail THE parents of a two-year-old boy who drowned at the home of his foster family say they still cannot believe their baby boy is gone. Their son, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was playing on a plastic bike at the rear of his foster family's home in Kuraby in Brisbane when he found his way into the back-yard pool on Friday evening. He is the second toddler to drown in Queensland since New Year's Day. The Sunday Mail believes the child's foster mother could hear the boy riding his bike. When she could no longer hear him playing she frantically searched for him and found him floating face-down in the pool. Police said she and her husband gave the child CPR before paramedics arrived and took over about 6pm. He could not be revived. “I cannot believe it,” said the child's biological father while comforting his devastated partner. “He was happy, bubbly...loved to dance to Gwen Stefani. I delivered him myself.” The couple said they learned the devastating news only at 11pm on Friday – five hours after their son died – and were told they would not be able to see their son's body until tomorrow. They said the coroner's office then called them, requesting permission to perform an autopsy on their son. “We are not important enough to be notified when it happens but we are important enough to be rung up by the coroner's office to get permission to cut him open,” the boy's father said. It is not known how the child gained entry to the pool but a Brisbane City Council inspector and engineer inspected the pool after the incident as standard procedure. Police also conducted tests around the pool area. Deputy Mayor Graham Quirk said the council officers would prepare a report for police who will refer it to the coroner. The boy's mother said the toddler had been in the care of the Department of Child Safety since February last year. A Child Safety Department spokeswoman said the department was unable to comment on the case for legal reasons. |

Lovnmykids Link is a no go I see that Child Safety is involved, was this child stolen from its parents? if so the stolen child that was taken away was murdered by incompetent foster parents and child safety. How many time have we seen this that a child gets stolen, only to be murdered elsewhere if this is the case that this child was removed by child safety in the first place. I can hear the paper shredders working from here. |

Now I wonder if this Child was still with its mother today would this child still be alive today? |

Yes, well I was wondering why the child was removed from the mother and if the 'abuse' or risk of harm was any where near as serious as death! As the child had been in the care since February last year, obviously the dept didn't rush the reunification or support the parents into solving their problems any quicker to help the child home faster! Come this February, if that child was still alive, the poor parents would have had to fight Child safety and the foster mother for the childs return! I'm hoping more is reported on this story and helps bring out another lot of worms for DChs media wise! It's sad it takes a death before the media will report the incompetence of the dept! Lovn |

Lovn They reported it and I bet it will fizzle out as its not in the interest of child safety to have negative stories in the paper against them. Remember we have unbiased media here in Australia. |
