PLEASE HELP!
I am a 32 year old Afro-Caribbean mother of 4 children, my Afro-Indiginous son ( my eldest) was apprehended in 2016 by Family and Children Services. They refused to turn the file over to Native Child and Family Services even though he has Mi’kmaq lineage.
Instead they offered me a choice “ Take my son home and put my daughters into foster care and work to get them out or to take my daughters home and give custody of my son to a family member or friend.” A Placement within the Indigenous community was never offered, thereby violating Bill C-92 : An Act respecting First Nations, Inuit and Métis children, youth and families
“S.C. 2019, c. 24
Placement of Indigenous Child
Marginal note:Priority
16 (1) The placement of an Indigenous child in the context of providing child and family services in relation to the child, to the extent that it is consistent with the best interests of the child, is to occur in the following order of priority:
(a) with one of the child’s parents;
(b) with another adult member of the child’s family;
(c) with an adult who belongs to the same Indigenous group, community or people as the child;
(d) with an adult who belongs to an Indigenous group, community or people other than the one to which the child belongs; or
(e) with any other adult.
Marginal note:Placement with or near other children
(2) When the order of priority set out in subsection (1) is being applied, the possibility of placing the child with or near children who have the same parent as the child, or who are otherwise members of the child’s family, must be considered in the determination of whether a placement would be consistent with the best interests of the child.”
Being an orphan and foster child myself I had no immediate family available. My best friend was unwilling and the paternal family unable. I was given a choice - closed adoption or grant custodial guardianship to someone else. There was no offer of a placement within his native community
The temporary placement member agreed to take temporary custody of my son until I could close my file with native child. ( I was awarded custody of my daughters and I have another son in my care with no protection issues or society involvement)
When I won custody she refused to give my son back. She continues to defy the court order, restrict my access and alienate my son from his sisters, parents and heritage.
I petition that the final order 57.1 signed on November 15 2017 by the Honorable Justice Murray be revoked and my son be returned to my custody immediately! Please sign and share so we can BRING MY SON HOME WHERE HE BELONGS !!! Thank you and God Bless .
