Note: They did not question his parenting skills or the safety of his children. They did not ask to take his sons. They had never been in the home to observe how well protected the children were, how well cared for they were, how well behaved they were, how loved, loving and happy they were. Apparently this was not important, apparently they don't really care about children.
Ayn van Dyk was abducted by MCFD staff at school on June 16th. School could not handle her so did they take her home - no! They kidnapped her from her father who loved her, provided for all her needs, taught her appropriate social skills in a way school could not and protected her from harm.
MCFD abducted her from school and admitted her to a psychiatric unit in a hospital where they drugged her into submission. With professional advice the hospital determined she did not belong in a hospital. She is not ill, physically or mentally - she has AUTISM! Autism is not a mental disability - it is a neurodevelopmental disorder that not affects 1 in 110 children and 1 in 70 boys. Wouldn't you expect the Ministry of Child and Family Development to be very knowledgeable, understanding and accepting of those with autism? Not so.
MCFD then kept her captive in a foster home, in the basement with 2 extra hired staff. Her dad had no help and was not overwhelmed as CPS social worker thought and provided her with a nice home where she was free to move inside and outside. Dad did not have any help with 3 children, 2 with autism.
Note: A foster parent is paid to look after Ayn; dad wasn’t, he cared for her because he loved her. The foster parent was obviously overwhelmed . MCFD doesn't remove her from the home but finds funds to hire 2 more staff to watch Ayn; who locked in a basement and heavily drugged would not need much "watching".
A social worker who has never visited Ayn's home to see how well she was doing there, takes her from school where they can't help Ayn. Under the guise of "protecting and caring for children" they make Ayn and her family suffer for now 106 days...................... can anyone explain how this even makes sense let alone that they are totally violating Ayn's rights????
Of course Ayn is still heavily drugged on a cocktail of drugs a parent would surly never allow. Please refer to https://www.facebook.com/groups/justiceforayn/doc/185727251500770/to understand why I made the latter statement.
This innocent 9 year old girl, with autism, was taken from her dad, Derek Hoare who loved her, provided for all her needs, taught her appropriate social skills in a way school could not, protected her from harm............MCFD abducted her from school, made her captive in a foster home with a foster parent and 2 more staff (dad had no help and was not overwhelmed as CPS social worker thought)
Note: foster mother is paid to look after Ayn (dad wasn’t, he cared for her because he loved her) and when she is obviously overwhelmed MCFD has funds to hire 2 more staff! A social worker who has never visited Ayn's home to see how well she was doing there, takes her from school who can't help Ayn and makes Ayn and her family suffer for now 106 days...................... can anyone explain how this even makes sense let alone totally violating Ayn's rights????
They have had her in custody for 106 days. Most of these days she was not in school. Now that she is in school (why, this writer is not sure) they asked a judge to keep her for 45 more days to do an assessment. Criminals are remanded to custody for 30 days for assessment - surely this child would take priority - she did not commit any crime!
How can we as Canadians allow our children (yes, there are many more) to be mistreated this way? How can Canada, one of the countries that ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child https://www.facebook.com/groups/justiceforayn/doc/161664610573701/allow this to continue? How can Canadian court of law continue to penalize the victim’s of the crime instead of the perpetrators?
Some more questions that require an answer...............
Did you know that Child Protective Services (in its many forms; probably globally) would have this kind of power? How do you feel about this?
Why isn’t every autism society, organization, support group, advocate and therapist publicly supporting this little girl and her family?
Why isn’t every format of national media all over this story?
Why isn’t every parent who has a child with special needs screaming about this story and supporting this family as they fight to be reunited?
WHY Is This Happening?
Derek: I am reading your story tonight for the first time. Also a parent of children with ASD, I have so much feeling of concern here! I fought for about 6 years to get proper support for my son in school, and finally reached a moment of some success in March, when he was finally "labelled" as having Asperger's and ADHD. I have been fortunate that the school my son goes to treated my son as a special needs child before the "label" was assigned. However, he and they knew more support was needed in the school, and I had to work very hard to get that support in place. Now that the school as a whole has a bit more support, I observe him getting older and I worry/observe all the time that the school system is not ready to work with him as he needs. As I believe you are well aware, autistic people do not learn the same way that "neurotypical" people do, yet they are lumped into the same school system and approach, where the teachers are largely untrained to teach in a way that breaks through properly. I'm reflecting here that it seems your daughter was taken from you simply because the school thought you were "overwhelmed". I have had many teachers observe me in an overwhelmed state. As a parent of children with ASD, I don't see how you cannot feel overwhelmed at times. That is NOT a good enough reason to take a child from a loving parent. All parents get overwhelmed at times! This seems to me like very serious injustice!
