Hey OUG, I did see the Witch Children, felt a bit sick (and of course very angry) watching it. I would like Aussie to send a ship and pick them all up right now. That could well be a generation that needs stealing. And a woman appeared responsible for this abuse on such a massive scale and of course the thing that ultimately was her vehicle for this abuse; religion.

Just read the Lee’s interview. They seem a funny and very nice couple. I also got obsessed with cot death, still am and have a video/sound monitor over my cots at night turned up so I can hear and see babies breathing. They are also right that you do have to laugh a lot fostering and I have run across caseworkers that find my humor a little bit harsh.

In NZ I did a few adoption babies, very different from fostering and much happier circumstances and outcomes on the whole. I never even thought about it here, but I don’t feel it is something I am needed for in a way.

Deborah Lee did say that when a child goes to not such a good place she makes something up in her head to make it okay. I would kill for that kind of skill. Must be why everything was so tickityboo for them and no massive complaints against the government in the interview.

I couldn’t accept an award myself. I failed one child through some weird mindset where I didn’t know I could do any better or failed to see further. It’s like that rule in Law about ignorance not being an excuse. And for me one failure negates all previous and future success.

I really have to catch up; I didn’t know there was a 7:30 report program. Thank you for the link and I will see if I can spot it.

The Children's Guardian replied to my question about if they can take away accreditation if an NGO has mulitple complaints against them:

"Under the Children and Young Persons (Care and Protection) Act 1998, the position of the Children’s Guardian was set up to promote the best interests and rights of children and young people in out-of-home Care (OOHC) in NSW. One of the functions of the Children’s Guardian is to accredit agencies who wish to provide OOHC and to monitor their responsibilities under the Act and associated regulations. Legislation allows for a range of measures to be undertaken where agencies do not meet the requirements.

The OCCG does not have a complaint investigation role. The NSW Ombudsman has the power to respond to complaints and concerns regarding the conduct of organisations that provide out-of-home-care. Further information about how the NSW Ombudsman handles complaints can be found at www.ombo.nsw.gov.au ( http://www.ombo.nsw.gov.au/ ). In brief, the NSW Ombudsman can investigate complaints and make recommendations and can make a report to the relevant minister if applicable."

Now what?

there are children who need your healing..[just focus on the basics]..its ok to know of the cccrap in the world,..but the system has designed it so that complaints dont work..

this really is satans realm...every bit of love we can make here is a bit of love that wasnt here before...changing a crappy nappy..is the highest calling...there are people in this realm that love dwelling into the filth of the matter..but your best purpose is just to change the darn thing

we all chose to be born...each life has its teachings...you chose to be born to help kids..so just focus on that..you going nuts wont fix anything..so dont lose it...be zen like about your healing..[here is a child that needs love,..so love it..here is a child with a crappy nappy so change it]

your duty is to survive..[and preferably to help the kids be that little bit stronger when they leave]..we are spirits having a bodilly incarnation...your loving spirit is to refresh the kids..be their oasis..to give them that difference..[love]...

just do that that makes both of you feel better..be the laughter..be the lover...that warmth on a rainy daY..[the biggest problem is fixed on step at a time]..

people cant change till they see the better way..[you must know that reports feedback on each other...simply by loving..your doing all that is needed..so love yourself..

find the peace within..stop worrying..and change that nappy..[give that hug,smile/sing/laugh..soon everyone will want a bit of that...be the egsample..do what you love..and love what you do...

its not getting the things we want..[that make us happy]
but realising the things we allready got

gee i need a smoke...lol

just me..doing what i love to do...lol

“gee i need a smoke...lol

just me..doing what i love to do...lol”

Bloody hell, might join ya.[smile]

I wont go nuts, well not on purpose. Would be easier if I was busier right now… I have been given much time to dwell although there is a promise that I have not been blacklisted in any way by one, others have a different opinion. So I wait in a much quieter household but not completely empty.

At least I learnt some stuff here about finding where your power is and then using it. Thank you for that. Oh and more stuff in e-mail that there was a delay putting in to practice but is back on the horizon moving my way again.

Until there is some more little ones to have some fun with I will try and work out this puzzle about the government. I want to know how the NGO’s are not policed and complaints not taken in a broader sense. Individual complaints handed back to a local DoCS office. Once accreditation is given it seems to remain without further effort.

So my big question to the Children’s Guardian NSW is how do they “promote the best interests and rights of children and young people in out-of-home Care (OOHC) in NSW”?

Also the question I forgot to put in my e-mail just before, maybe I am few posts short of a thread right now or maybe going nuts is one of those things you have to look back on to acknowledge...

I must go reply to the men on Ihategovdept.something which is actually a bit frightening for me at times.

hey jewel say this vidio[and thunk of you]..the vidio is quick..[of a girl baby talking non stop...she is saying something very important

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/06/23/Are-Women-Born-Like-This.aspx

here is the blurb...<<..This video may leave you wondering if some parts of personality are set very early indeed.

Well, wonder no more.

Science has actually already looked into the matter, and found a significant correlation between fetal testosterone levels and vocabulary, suggesting that fetal testosterone might be involved in shaping the neural mechanisms underlying communicative development.

That is: the LOWER your testosterone, the greater your vocabulary.

One study found that girls had a significantly larger vocabulary than boys at the ages of 18 and 24 months after birth. Their discovery replicated previous findings of a female advantage in language ability, but revealed this sex difference at the earliest point of development...

i will add that testosterone level is higher in times of stress[so there might be a clue in the childs background, the shy silent types might signify less stress in the mother[or breast feeding..[a thing that calms both mum and child]...anyhow gotta go hear the vidio again[and figure out what the child is saying]...cheer's eh
