Here is the letter the department of child safety complaints tribunal sent me after my two year old son died whilst in their care. I rang their complaints line on numerous occasions, including a week before Luke died. Never once did they help. They started the letter by saying "Hi". These people have no concience and answer to noone.

Get rid of the rot starting from the top.
The team at Central Complaints and Review Unit. (Get rid of these cockroaches too, how can someone on 100 000 a year have a clue about what is going on in disadvantaged impoverished family. You can all jump in your four wheel drive wagons and get lost. I will light a candle for my little boy.
You can tell Ms Kokaev to f*** off and lose my number. If you want to be rude to me, I will be rude to you. My Solicitors Name is Sandra Sinclair. She is out for blood, but noone more than I.
At the top is where your putrid rotting evil regime starts. I have rung your bullshit line probably more than anyone in the history of child safety, and the commission for children, and the police, and lifeline, and centacare, and ATODS, your "unification team leader, visit supervisers."
You tossed my little baby into hell. Scratches on his face and two days later, more scratches on his penis. Three days later he is left for six hours, to die. To die because a bullied old woman who didn't have room for my boy, had my little angel forced upon her. Was she turning a blind eye to what was happening to my little boy. Scratches come from girls, there was a nine year old girl in the house, with nails obviously. Funny thing is she is the only witness to what happened that killed my little boy isnt she.
Now another question. Who ignored my calls, another one of your big titled overpaid underwent...No less than the head of your grotty little organisation in Cairns. You all have to go.
I will do everything possible to close down this operation of sadistic family torture. How could people sit there every week and see how much we loved each other, and drive away with him, again and again for six months.
I have three demands.
1. I am head of child safety N.Q.
2. An option to take on a foster child. An admittance that I was a good father, who loved his son, never abused his son.
I was involved in reports of not abuse, but confrontation of a heavily intoxicated vindictive woman. The day you took him away, the film of me and luke playing piano. I insisted that Peggy let me ride in the car to take him to his mother, as he was terrified of leaving my side. At the top of the website, as soon as that woman took him i rang every private investigator in the phone book. I rang the Minister of Child Safety's office on that afternoon, and that...Is where I got your stupid...Department of Child Safety complaints phone number.
How many thousands of calls do you turn a deaf ear to. It is time to come clean. This is not a competition, there are no winners in my son's case.
When you have faults, do not fear to abandon them.
3. Change no. 1 to putting me in charge of Child Safety complaints. They have got their head up their ass further than the idiot that sent me this letter.
That's right, time to call in the federal police. 63 children dying last year under the watch of DoCS. My child this year. The highest rate of death for any age group is under four.
HERE IS MY CONTRIBUTION TO THE CITIZENS AGAINST DOCS GROUP.
I LOVE YOU LUKEY.

Good Luck
i just had a read of the letter you wrote. I wonder if they have bothered to get back to you. I'm studying to be a psyche nurse and just did my first placment in aged care.
Most of the ppl i was helping with their daily activites were not as old as the woman considered a fit and safe carer for Luke.
Even if she was capable of the skills of 1st aid- which i highly doubt- she made it quiet clear she is suffering from "compassion fatigue". They talk about this as there new fad word for why people get abused in care.
I dont know if any of this will help but "compassion fatigue" is an ikky word but very very serious cause for abuse.
Good luck, I really hope you get justice for Luke!
Aren't they the ones who are
Aren't they the ones who are meant to have the best interests of the children at heart? The department of child safety are a bunch liars and they have no idea about whats best. They think that just because they study a book and get a degree that they know what is best. It still doesn't mean that they are good role models. So really what I would like to know is if the system is there to help the human race, why is it set up for all parents to fail in the beginning? How can an agency like that dictate to parents how to be a parent and raise their young? We all understand why they are there for and the reasons for it, but why can they abuse their own system by placing children in abusive foster homes. Do they not realise that by removing children from loving homes that they are in fact emotionally and mentally abusing those children that they claim to be protecting? There are cases where they do what they are meant to do, and they do remove abused children from unsafe homes however there are more and more cases coming to light about how they are removing perfectly happy and healthy children from loving secure happy homes, destroying families based on suspicion and not fact. Where was the Dept when that little boy was found in a suitcase killed by his parents? Who was protecting that little boy? There was many complaints made against that family and nothing was done about it, which resulted in an innocent child being killed. Where was the dept while Luke laid there with a fractured skull, bleeding on the brain, blood cots and his brain starving from oxygen for 6 hours, what did they think that he would automatically be safe because he was in the home of a foster carer who was 74 years old? Who in fact allowed and possibly assisted in the death of the child? Who is being held responsible for that? The Dept in fact is to blame for placing him in that environment, but will they ever admit to that??? I think not!! They will instead find someone else to lay blame on. The Dept can do no wrong! Instead of focusing on removing abused children from unstable abusive households they are more concerned about removing happy children that are far from abused. We need a dept like child safety however we need a new legislation, a new head of DOC's a new dept that have compassion and heart, who use their brains and instinct not just follow some text out of a university book. Every family, case and child is different however they are all treated the same.
It could have beem my child.
I cannot imagine the horror you must wake up to every day.
I'll be at the protest in February.
I am also fighting these bastards. They stole my son as well. Luckily, I was able to frighten the DOCS people. They returned him to his mum real quick.
They are scared of me. I have the political nous to hurt them. I am only a novice to this horrible tragic game they play for their political masters.
But we can burn into the memory of every Community Services Worker the horror they visited upon your child and his family.
Thankyou for your support
I am trying to do as much as possible but the more support and help I can get the better. Something has to be done.

I hope I help?
I am at your website today to find answers and truths and I guess to know that I am doing the rigth thing.
I find myself on the other side of things..I am to become the foster carer for a new born Baby Girl anytime now. Although I am not sure of the outcome yet as I have only just put my application in. They ar etrying as they say to make it urgent as Baby is due anytime now. I only hope that it is sooner than later and that baby Grace will wait.
Long story short. I am fostering my daughetrs fathers sisters daughter (sister in law) as she deem unfit to care for a child by herself safely because of her mental episodes. I did not want to see a newborn get lost in the foster care system and become another number and so I put my hand up to help. To make sure that Grace get's the love and attention she needs. Th eoriginal plan though was for her mother and I to live with me in a spare room I have and that I just supervise her care as I work alot form home...but alas everything is in very short time frame ans when I went into the meeting I came put saying that I woyld actually care for Baby Grace bymyself and not with her biological mother. If I didnt take care of her she will go straight into a fostercarer's home. I could see that happening and the table was turned on me, as I actually have 3 childrenof my own and run a fulltime business that at the moment doesnt make me any money to live.
But my fear for Grace is more than anything. I know there is great people out there and good foster homes, but Child Safety I felt are just people in uniform behind a desk. Do not get me wrong they were lovely girls, but their decision was based that the mother was unfit at all. And to me she is not unfit to do what is needed for her baby, but unfit to be trustde to be on her own only.
Child Safety I questioned if they actually have even worked directly with children or have their own children as these woman making the decision were quiet young. although I am a young mnothert myself I have raised my 3 children on my own for a long time.
What the problem with many things is that people just forget to be people and do things from the heart. To many systems are in place because our society rules we can and will sue anyone if given a chance! and that is the problem with so many sytems to be in place to protect this, but in concerning th welfare of children...
the most of the time it takes direct action and commona sense. Or we will see to many more deaths of our innocent children.
I know we can not protect everyone but the deaths of many children didnt have to be....children health and well being shouldnt cost a life and shouldnt be about money.
Action equals results...no leave a message on 1800 numebr. and I strongly believe to many cares are just put on out of desperation for cares...how do really know if these people love children at all? I am not a perfect parent but children to me are who we are..and without them we would just be dust in the dirt....
Common sense and action from the heart just needs to come back into play....
I must go now. I am scared of this new road I will travel and please if you want or need any help please ask.... take care
Good luck with your fight for custody
Well done for stepping up to the plate to help with your sister in laws baby. I agree with you that more often than not practical common sense is thrown out the window with this department of Nazi storm troopers.
They have the attitude that they know best, even if they have never had children or are totally unfamiliar with the workings of the household they visit.
They base everything on the narrow minded attitudes of the people who are senior in position at DoCs, and the books they read at uni.
When the Docs woman came to visit, Luke remembered her and put his arms out and ran to her for a hug.
She told me I was a bad parent and he shouldn't run to strangers. They have to change, and I believe the best way is to start getting rid of the man haters at the top who tell their juniors that it doesn't harm a child to remove them from their parents.
There is more likelihood of a child being abused in foster care than in a disfunctional family, by the foster carers but more often than not by the other abused children in the foster home.
Thankyou for sharing your story and I hope it all goes well for you, regards Michael.
