It's easy to say that the families want them back and your an advocate for that, but what no one can publish and is the most important factor in the welfare of the children is; why were the children seized from the families in the first place? They usually have a good reason and to say that the children are 'problem children' now is moot.
"Prior to this role I worked in the area of restorative justice and I would see how many children would come through our doors as a result of being in CFS care, and knowing what I've learned over the years and all of these intricacies of residential school effects,''
To put a child back into a perilous home is not the answer. Ultimately, as adults, most can meet with those families.
