Families of Disabled Children Forced to Relinquish Custody



Global News: March 23, 2009 The Plight of Baby Penelope... Families of children with disability continue to be plagued by inhumane choice: To access Government supports and services parents must reliquish guardianship.

An ON family is faced with heart-breaking 'choice' - they have been asked to relinquish guardianship of their child with severe developmental disability in effort to obtain services & funding. This is an archaic and inhuman practice that continues to plague loving families. The scenario is not limited to one Province, nor Country, but is arising globally. We must take a stance against injustice and promote the importance of cementing family relationships.

  1. This Story is an absolute disgrace, with reference to violation of Human Rights.
    Families being torn apart, because they, the Children are disabled.
    This is a crime, against humanity,and must be stopped.
    Total Child Stealing, for financial gain, of a Corrupt CPS.
    WHAT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD?
    it is like a story from a third world country.
