If Child Protection or a caregiver is sending your son to a daycare against your explicit directives, keeping it from you, and instructing your child to lie, this is a highly serious issue involving a breach of trust and potential overreach of legal authority. If you still hold legal parental responsibility, they cannot legally ignore your safety concerns or bypass your authority without a specific court order that strips you of that decision-making power. SO WHY ARE YOU? PLEASE HIGHLIGHT IN MY ORDER WHERE I'VE LOST MY PARENTING RIGHTS? THIS WAS CLARIFIED WITH THE DAYCARE BY ANDREA IN FEBRUARY. AND STILL OCCURRING...!!?!! am aware my son has been attending East Geelong daycare against my wishes I have put in complaints with companies regarding the incident when my son was bitten and I was not told the staff members saying that children and manipulative and want to strangle them this was said by Liz and witnessed by Christy. And presents that my son made being destroyed and given back to us. And false lies and Ivo obtained through lives is being investigated by Integrity oversight human rights and IBAC. My son is not to attend good start East Geelong under any circumstances. The department is not allowed to send my child there in secret.
