A Surrey provincial court judge has issued a damning condemnation of a 害羞草研究所渓ong-standing historical epic failure害羞草研究所� on the part of the Ministry of Children and Development to help a pair of Surrey children who were sexually abused by their dad.

害羞草研究所淢ost regrettably, this file has sustained a significant number of errors on the part of MCFD with the inaction on the part of various social workers and a large failure to properly monitor this file all of which actions I find have been contrary to the best interest of the children,害羞草研究所� Judge Kimberly Arthur-Leung said Nov. 3. 害羞草研究所淭he children are entitled to better and so, too, is the public in general.害羞草研究所�

Arthur-Leung said the 害羞草研究所渃omplete failure害羞草研究所� on the part of the ministry and a team leader attached to the case 害羞草研究所渋s, quite honestly, incredulous. It has left both the mother and children exposed and has left this court with significant failure on the part of MCFD staff to provide services to the mother and the children to which MCFD is legally mandated to offer.害羞草研究所�

害羞草研究所淪exual actions on the part of the father occurred in the home in and on the physical presence of a minor child of the father害羞草研究所檚. This court is completely at a loss what more is required for MCFD to protect these children and ensure their safety and well-being.害羞草研究所�

The court case was heard on June 1, June 7, July 18 and Sept. 25.

The judge noted that the team leader testified she had conduct of the file since 2022 but it was 害羞草研究所渙nly upon questioning by this court that she disclosed nothing had been put in place to guide and support the mother and the children.害羞草研究所�

Arthur-Leung said in her that 害羞草研究所渢his file reveals a long-standing historical epic failure on the part of MCFD to not only provide services but also ensure the best interests of the children害羞草研究所� and that there 害羞草研究所渋s no excuse for this being consistently a failure on the part of the MCFD for this family.害羞草研究所�

Moreover, she found that not only has the ministry failed to act in the children害羞草研究所檚 best interests and provide services to them and their mother, it 害羞草研究所渋n fact, continues to do so.害羞草研究所�

The judge issued an order that the children remain in the mother害羞草研究所檚 custody for six months, under supervision of the Director of Child, Family and Community Service under a series of conditions including that the mother must permit the Director or the Director害羞草研究所檚 agents to visit and inspect the home and meet directly and privately with the children at any time and the Director must remove the children if their mother fails to comply with terms of supervision.

害羞草研究所淎dditionally, I will impose an order that the Director must undertake a regular review of this file with the mother and her counsel to ensure that the Director is providing services to both the mother and to the children in order to fulfil the best interests of the children and the timely delivery of services,害羞草研究所� Arthur-Leung concluded.
