Wrongful apprehension of my six year old son in BC. I’m a loving mom fighting the system that was meant to protect us but instead caused us harm.

12 days until court. I’ll be in front of a judge fighting to bring Bennett home. No doctor, therapist, or caregiver has ever reported risk. He was taken because the system failed to plan medical supports, not due to anything unsafe at home. Bennett was safe and thriving. The ‘concerns’ are assumptions, not evidence.” The post relates to Bennett, a 6-year-old medically complex child with a rare neurogenetic disability (ANKRD17), autism, ADHD, significant gastrointestinal illness, and a G-tube for feeding. The content references CFCSA, MCFD case actions, disability rights, medical supports, supervised visits, missing records, and a December court hearing. The image’s purpose is advocacy and raising awareness about a child welfare situation involving a disabled child removed from his home during inpatient hospital care despite no clinical findings of risk, neglect, or unsafe parenting. It highlights missing disclosures, unanswered letters, lack of medical delegation, denial of nursing oversight, and breaches of Section 70 Child Rights. BC child welfare, MCFD accountability, CFCSA protection hearing, disability justice, complex care, medical fragility, rare disease, neurodevelopmental support, G-tube training, autism supports, pediatric GI condition, parental rights, supervised visitation, systemic failures, medical letters, behavioural plans, hospital discharge planning, and advocacy against assumptions replacing evidence.

A mother wearing a red plaid shirt sits in a black armchair, holding her young son close in a deep, comforting hug. The little boy, wearing teal noise-canceling headphones and a red shirt with a maple leaf design, clings tightly to her, his face pressed against her shoulder. The room is softly lit, simple, and quiet—two more black chairs and a framed picture are visible in the background. The warmth and emotion in this moment are unmistakable: a mother’s love, strength, and calm, and a child’s longing for safety and connection. Their embrace speaks louder than words—a snapshot of resilience, tenderness, and the unbreakable bond between them. #BringBennettHome #MotherAndSon #AutismAwareness #NeurodiversityAcceptance #SensoryFriendly #SpecialNeedsParenting #TraumaInformedCare #DisabilityAwareness #SystemicReform #MCFDAccountability #JusticeForBennett #ParentAdvocacy #GTubeAwareness #ComplexCareKids #Attachment #FamilyReunification #ProtectAutisticChildren #DisabilityRights #CaregiverStrength #LoveWithoutLimits #AutismParent #CanadianFamilies #VancouverMoms #bcpoli #bcpolitics #mcfd
