Wrongful apprehension of my six year old son in BC. I’m a loving mom fighting the system that was meant to protect us but instead caused us harm.

He’s been through so much.
But his first instinct is still to run into my arms. No system can erase this bond.
I’m still fighting for his safety, his routine, and his right to come home.

Two months. That’s how long it’s been since Bennett was taken from me. Under MCFD’s direction, he’s endured confusion, neglect, and trauma no child should face. Two months of fighting to be heard, believed, and to bring him home. #BringBennettHome #SystemicReform #MCFDAccountability
A mother wearing a red plaid shirt sits in a black armchair, holding her young son close in a deep, comforting hug. The little boy, wearing teal noise-canceling headphones and a red shirt with a maple leaf design, clings tightly to her, his face pressed against her shoulder. The room is softly lit, simple, and quiet—two more black chairs and a framed picture are visible in the background. The warmth and emotion in this moment are unmistakable: a mother’s love, strength, and calm, and a child’s longing for safety and connection. Their embrace speaks louder than words—a snapshot of resilience, tenderness, and the unbreakable bond between them. #BringBennettHome #MotherAndSon #AutismAwareness #NeurodiversityAcceptance #SensoryFriendly #SpecialNeedsParenting #TraumaInformedCare #DisabilityAwareness #SystemicReform #MCFDAccountability #JusticeForBennett #ParentAdvocacy #GTubeAwareness #ComplexCareKids #Attachment #FamilyReunification #ProtectAutisticChildren #DisabilityRights #CaregiverStrength #LoveWithoutLimits #AutismParent #CanadianFamilies #VancouverMoms #bcpoli #bcpolitics #mcfd A tender moment between a mother and her autistic son. The mother, dressed in a red plaid shirt, sits in a black armchair, wrapping her arms protectively around her little boy. He’s wearing mint-green noise-canceling headphones and a red shirt with a white maple leaf, symbolizing both his Canadian roots and resilience. His face is pressed against his mother’s chest, eyes closed, seeking comfort and safety. She holds him tightly, eyes gently shut, embodying peace, love, and heartbreak all at once. The photo captures the unspoken language between them—a deep connection formed through years of understanding medical, sensory, and emotional needs. The muted background draws all focus to their embrace, a moment of grounding in the chaos surrounding their separation. #BringBennettHome #AutismAwareness #SensorySupport #ParentAdvocacy #AutismAcceptance #MCFDAccountability #SystemicReform #JusticeForBennett #SpecialNeedsParenting #ComplexCare #NeurodivergentLove #DisabilityRights #FamilyBond #TraumaInformedParenting #MotherAndSon #ProtectAutisticChildren #Attachment #GTubeAwareness #InvisibleDisabilities #LoveWithoutBarriers #bcpoli #bcpolitics #mcfd

Today I sent a formal letter to MLA John Rustad, calling for urgent action against MCFD’s unlawful removal of my son, Bennett, and the ongoing breaches of duty that have endangered his health and safety.
