I am User #1.

Graham is this happening here?

sec 30 <<Children and Young Persons (Care and Protection) Act 1998 30 Director-General’s investigations and assessment
On receipt of a report that a child or young person is suspected of being at risk of harm:>>>if this section is quoted someone has made a report[if no report then some one is making a spurilous claim[or abusing their power

<<(a)the Director-General is to make such investigations and assessment as the Director-General considers necessary to determine whether the child or young person is at risk of harm, or>>

ok read the line[the letter] is part of the assesment proces to determine IF A CHILD is at risk[by any postings made at the site]if no complaint[or no risk found]then better to have ered on the side of caution[unless no actual complaint is made [thus spurilous,criminal act or abuse of power may need be considered

<<(b) the Director-General may decide to take no further action if, on the basis of the information provided,the Director-General considers that there is insufficient reason to believe that the child or young person is at risk of harm.>>>see that a reason needs to be supplied[and a named complainant[ask that these be accertained to be real[egsistant]
<<Note.Under section 248, the Director-General may direct certain bodies,including the Police Service,a government department or agency,a public authority,a school, an area health service and a hospital to furnish the Director-General with information concerning the safety,welfare and well-being of a child or young person>>..as specific mention is NOT made re forum or news agency having a legal obligation to obey the order[it is volentary][and only a check of facts to acertain if action..may be required

Thank you for all that OUG. The owner of Altnews was looking for more information as well. He has said that User#4 is in Canada and someone I have never had a discussion with online.

No reason for the request of information has been given.

My caseworker last week said something to me about uploading photos of children online, something I have never done.

I don't even name the foster children I have or have ever had.

I doubt anyone from DoCS thought the owner of Altnews would actually Post the letter from them though.

its not a matter i would concern about..[a faximily;a fax] isnt an origonal document[and thus has no legal weight

[all documentation put out by docs must be at least an origonal letter, if not specificly presented to a given person by a specific docs member for an enumerated[valid] reason..[with id validations]..to have legal validity..

[in fact giving info sans..[without]..a fully legal reason may be commiting a crime..[no doudt the forum admin had such doudts thus put an extract of the FAX he got on line]this area that specificlly concerns children[and the location of their protectors/thus more kids, is wrought with loopholes so a/holes can pretend authority, by fear and fraud to acces info/or powers they would never be accorded in real life

you should have had enough interaction with the real docs not to be fooled by someone..sending a fax..lol..to obtain sensitive..[confidential info about kids,..ie re anyone..caring for their[the kids]..safty and well being,even your name/location etc is secret info,..as would be your other details

[if only to properly protect the kids..[from vexatious or vile-lent parentals/or other attempting via faxed deceptions to seek info to further their hopes/delusions of wreaking vengance or some other ill intent aimed at achieving info re the location of children or their carers

any legal stuff isnt done by fax..[i feel these faxes need be reported to police,..in the maxim of better safe than sorry..you know govt dont fax..it presents/in person..or sends a real investigator[if only to protect the kids]

"any legal stuff isnt done by fax..[i feel these faxes need be reported to police,..in the maxim of better safe than sorry..you know govt dont fax..it presents/in person..or sends a real investigator[if only to protect the kids]"

I wish I could think like you, for all my questions I keep asking the wrong ones or not seeing what needs to be questioned.

To add to the confusion is that the altnews site is in Queensland but the request is coming from NSW. Makes it a little more obvious that it is solely about me.

I suspect a user in a bad mood with me has made a false allegation to Queensland (actually I know this has happened, confirmed by my caseworker) and I do get that these allegations all have to be taken seriously.

No idea why these other users are being involved. No idea why if they believed it they have not come to my house and removed children from my care.

im looking at this as a work related injury[or attempt to injure you because of your work]..either way caring for children is relivant to discuss as its your job[ok you dont see it as a job/work, yet this harasment could lead to serious injury

the more i think on it the more sure im sure the fax isnt from the dept..[simply speaking they dont work that way,..were there a real issue they would order the police to notify moderators..[or have other more certain validation's]

were there any real issue the dept would simply read all your posts[any serious issues would be revealed simply by doing this,this fax just attempts to obtain special info,..not available to the public, for this reason it gets serious as an issue..not as a matter of fact]

clearly your being hasseld by virtue of your chosen occupation[causing un-nessesary stress..[and injury, ot only to your good name, but your mental peace of mind,[well being]..confirming that not all work related injury is physical and not all causes accidental

anyhow it is not a thing that worry can fix..[i understand gray has been in contact and would simply follow his advice on the matter]

you have no need to ask questions/nor answers[or even to give[waste] furher thought in this matter..as far as i can see[and i dont think moderators are fooled for a minute by this clumsey attempt to cause stess to you]

faulse accusations are just a part of the job,..as disempowered people attempt to spead their percieved hurt upon you or others simply trying to get on with their work
