And another grandmother writes

Recently, the ministry from Kelowna removed my Grandson (from my daughter who resides in Kelowna) from the care of his grandmother who resides in Surrey. The child in question has lived with his grandmother for 8 out of the last 11 months. It seems to me that if the family has already been addressing the issues the child's mother was having and the child best intersts were being respected with the families care plan that the ministry should not be able to remove a child from it's primary residence due to the actions of a parent not living with the child. Nor is there a likilyhood of the child being affected by the action of a parent living in a separate city....The ministry should not have the power to steal children who are not at risk from on city and place them in Foster Care in a different city..
