Epping DoCS stole my autistic child when I went to them for help

Submitted by Child Protectio... on Sat, 11/08/2012 - 1:18pm

Below is one of the most disgusting displays of DoCS bullying and mismanagement of families I have come across. A mother who went to DoCS NSW Epping office for help. Never, ever ever ever, never go to docs for help. This poor woman has never abused or neglected her son. Epping DoCS need to be fully investigated.

August 5 Sydney: banners dropped in solidarity with Toronto G20 Prisoners

Submitted by autonomousactions on Wed, 08/08/2012 - 6:36pm

On August 5 some anarchists dropped two banners from the Cahill expressway bridge outside the Canadian consulate. The action was in response to a call for August 5 solidarity actions for Kelly Rose Pflug-Back, an anarchist hostage of the Canadian state, recently sentenced to 15 months in prison for her resistance to the 2010 Toronto G20. The banners read:

'EVERY PRISONER IS A POLITICAL PRISONER'

'FREE KELLY ROSE PFLUG-BACK'

'I shall write peace upon your wings, and you shall fly around the world so that children will no longer have to die this way.'Haiku attributed to Sadako Sasaki, a Japanese girl who was two years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on August 6, 1945, on Hiroshima. Sadako is remembered through the story of a thousand origami cranes before her death, and is to this day a symbol of innocent victims of war. She died in 1955, aged 12.
