Help Luke's Army by becoming an admin.

Thu, 07/01/2010 - 08:56 — lukes dad

Here is the mailout I just sent out to all the people who are keen to become more involved in Lukes Army. To all the bitches that contributed to the death and abuse of my son, up yours. I promised Luke I would do something. With the members of Luke's Army now reaching into the thousands, I am honoured to be a part of the army I started for my son.
I pray that it will grow and become a place for people to turn to when they are victimised or bullied by this department, or if they need help for their family of any sort.

Child safety officer blows whistle on corruption within the department of child safety

Fri, 29/01/2010 - 10:11 — lukes dad

http://www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/story/2009/10/25/child-safety-at-risk/

A SUNSHINE Coast woman claims she lost her child safety job because she refused to sign an affidavit which would have resulted in a child being sent back home and exposed to potential abuse.

Other allegations the whistleblower has levelled against the department of communities' child safety service - in an exclusive interview with the Sunshine Coast Daily - include rampant cronyism among top officials, a revolving door policy towards staff who speak out and officials who act with impunity.

The little boy and the pebble on the beach

Sat, 09/01/2010 - 19:32 — lukes dad

I just wanted to firstly say how sorry I am about the loss of your son. I can only try to imagine what you must be going through. So sad and so wrong.

I just wanted to share a moment I had on the Tuesday just gone.
I was at the beach with my 2 and half year old son, we were playing sandcastles and still on my mind was your devastating story. I had been on your website for hours the night before.

My latest letter to my solicitor.

Thu, 07/01/2010 - 13:29 — lukes dad

I rang them and they said the coroner will begin to look at Luke' case the second week of January.

I will try to keep this short.

I visited my friend in the mental health ward. I saw a girl get hit. She wanted to leave but was not allowed. She had undergone 9 shock therapy treatments. I felt so sorry for her and as I left I saw the mental health doctor who assessed me while I underwent the voluntary detox programme at atods hospital clinic.
