GET READY - TOMORROW IS COMING / Part 459 / For Love and For Justice / Zabeth and Paul Bayne
JUDGE THOMAS CRABTREE, Chief Justice of British Columbia will deliver his ruling to MCFD counsel Finn Jensen, and Bayne counsel Doug Christie tomorrow, Monday, February 28th. With Crabtree working on this for the past six months, one might expect that it is ready and that delivery will be made at 9:00 am. We will see.
For his own reasons, which are none of my business, Judge Crabtree indicated that the ruling would come via fax. Not the most convenient or practical format but still often used in business. For each receiving party to digitize the document will require that each page be scanned and compiled. I don't care personally, but it is time consuming and will delay its communication at least initially.
What is of importance is that we are going to know that Paul and Zabeth have their children returned to them. That's very optimistic isn't it. Naive? Time will tell. Will I rejoice, or will I be thrust into despair to complete my trip to political cynicism.
"Father in heaven, let Paul and Zabeth have their family back together to stay." A thousand Amens!

THURSDAY-COURTROOM REPORT - Installment #9 / Part 458 / For Love and For Justice / Zabeth and Paul Bayne
When Justice Kimberly Arthur-Leung was making clear to counsel Doug Christie what precisely she was in court to do with the case before her and how her intention differed from his objective which was to argue against the removal from Paul and Zabeth Bayne, of the newborn child, Josiah, she cited the Act, that is, the Child, Family and Community Services Act (CFCSA).
She made the point that she was in court on this day for one purpose only and that related to the safety of the child Josiah Magnus Ider Bayne.
In other words, in spite of the fact that she did permit Mr. Christie to express himself on behalf of his clients, Mme Arthur-Leung was not really prepared to listen with a view to acting upon what he said. She was there simply to concur with the MCFD's concern about the child's safety without investigating the foundation or credibility of those concerns. Such examination would be for a different day. On this occasion she would facilitate this removal to insure a child's safety regardless of the validity of the claims against the parents. That's a bit overstated. I am at a lost to nuance her purpose. She would take the word of the social worker who acted for the director because that would seem the most certain route to child safety and it was certainly the easiest. It facilitated the processing of the over 100 cases listed outside the court room. This was not the occasion for contest but for facilitation of the order needed to hold the child in care. Mr. Christie was expressing consternation over the fact that although the Act allows the Director without a court order, to remove a child if the director has reasonable grounds to believe that the child needs protection and that either the child's health or safety is in immediate danger, or there is no other less disruptive measure that is available to adequately protect the child, this did not apply to Josiah, the son of Paul and Zabeth Bayne. Josiah was a little over a week old when he was removed. He had been in supervised natal care in hospital. He was removed from the hospital. The reason for his removal was tantamount to a fabrication.
In fact, the affidavit stated that “the child was removed in accordance with the following: section 30 of the Child, Family and Community Service Act in the following circumstance(s) as described by section 13 of the Act: the child has been, or is likely to be, physically harmed by the child's parent, and the child's parent is unable or unwilling to care for the child and has not made adequate provision for the child's care. Further, the child was removed under section 30 because there was no less disruptive measures available to insure safety.Well, that's what the affidavit said, but it was not accurate.
I ask you, knowing what you now know about the Baynes, is that paragraph true?
The Baynes have made provision for their children. Their home has been ready for three and a half years to accommodate and to serve their children. Rooms, beds, closets, toys have all been in readiness and in fact, in use during Saturday visitations. Since Paul operates an evening janitorial business with numerous contracts, transporting the children to and from school or to appointments during the daytime would never be a problem. They are in readiness for newborn Josiah in every way as well. And, given the possibility of their startling reintroduction to caring for all of these children if Judge Crabtree grants that on Monday, they have a large network of trained professionals and volunteers who will assist. A care plan for the new child was submitted by the Baynes to MCFD, and Judge Arthur-Leung was shown this as well. To no avail. The baby remains for now in Ministry Care in a Foster Home, fortunately the same one where his siblings reside. He is in good hands there. I suppose Her Honour was effectively deferring to her superior, the Chief Justice Thomas Crabtree. He will tell us his verdict about Kent, Baden and Bethany on Monday, Feb 28th. The conclusion of Josiah's fresh saga is pending as well.

A DECISION DAY FOR JOSIAH / Part 449 / For Love and For Justice / Zabeth and Paul Bayne
I am heading to the Surrey Provincial Court Building now.
I am trusting that Paul's and Zabeth's legal counsel, Mr. Doug Christie, was able to come through the snow from Vancouver Island. I will also learn whether the hearing will be before Judge Crabtree or someone else.
The affidavit prepared by the MCFD will be ruled upon today. Among other reasons for this order request, MCFD has used Section 30 of the Child, Family and Community Services Act, as described in section 13, and said that the child has been, or is likely to be, physically harmed by the child's parent. Further, that the child's parent is unable or unwilling to care for the child and has not made adequate provision for the child's care. I cannot underscore how absurd, how inaccurate, how unacceptable those statements are with respect to the Baynes.
I have seen the Bayne home, the children's rooms and beds and belongings. These are the places where they spend time, six hours on Saturdays during visitation. The observant supervisor can attest to the competent fashion in which Paul and Zabeth provide for and care for their children. Can they do that 24/7? Well, how can MCFD know when they have withheld the children for 3.5 years. Can the Baynes take on the responsibility of a new baby as well as his three siblings? We will see on Monday whether Judge Crabtree believes that MCFD has erred in its management of this three year old case and will deliver a family of six from a nightmare. Meanwhile, we must still listen to the disputation concerning the immediate custody of a two week old boy – Josiah.
I am absolutely convinced that these children will be nurtured into a happy and healthy childhood, youth and adulthood.

From what is rumoured, there will be a large support base for the Baynes and they will be wearing black. I can hardly wait until Monday, when I promise you, the black will be shed for a lustrous yellow.
I will talk to you later today.

LETTER TO THE MCFD / Part 446 / For Love and For Justice / Zabeth and Paul Bayne
An Open and Public Online Letter to Bruce McNeil (Director), Loren Humeny (Social Worker), Finn Jensen (Legal Counsel), and Leslie du Toit (Deputy Minister)
Bruce, Loren, what are you doing?
This is the newborn baby boy who was to be the subject of yet another apprehension on February 10th. That was your plan. This is Josiah. But he was only hours old. He was premature. To think that you actually ordered the apprehension and naively expected to remove the child into foster care that day in his premature state and with all his needs, is revealing in the extreme.
His ecstatic parents had almost no time to enjoy his delightful arrival or for Zabeth, time to recover, before your calculated plan kicked in. But the incompetence inherent in the timing and the delivery of this agenda is what the public and the news media are reading and upon which they are forming opinions about your work and about MCFD Child Protection. Finn, how can you let them do this?
Leslie, are you really discussing this with your staff. You must. This is very bad practice happening here. It is not good and does not appear good. Of course, Jensen knows that McNeill and Humeny are within their rights to be doing what they are doing, but they have transgressed the boundaries of decency. When will you care enough to stop this? When Global or CTV 6 o'clock news start talking about it? That may come.
Of course Bruce, Loren, you couldn't affect the plan because medical professionals demanded that the child remain in hospital for some considerable time.You had information about Zabeth's condition and the baby's, and you could have anticipated his condition at birth. Nonetheless, you still took custody of Josiah in an official sense but needed to have an order approved by a judge, and that of course was to be heard and ruled last Thursday the 17th wasn't it? Covering one's tracks is readily apparent to most observant people so when legal counsel and social worker (chief testimony) didn't show up for court, the judge had little option but to grant a postponement. So this Thursday the 24th we are to hear what you propose to justify the insult to public conscience. Everyone knows that it was unnecessary to rush to an apprehension order for an infant who could not leave the hospital. Everyone knows how fundamentally wrong and ill advised it is for you to presume to approve or disapprove the use of a mother's breast milk for the feeding of her baby. Everyone knows that these hands should not be separated, or this tiny hand should not be placed into a foster mother's hand. It is time that your business demonstrates compassion and mercy and love.
Please, please begin today to retrace this most recent action and drop this process and simply wait for the ruling by Judge Crabtree, which will decide finally, one way or another, your involvement in the futures of four small children, three of whom love their mommy and daddy and rightfully so. Josiah will in time also know how much he is loved and will fulfill the meaning of his name for the Bayne family and others - "Jehovah has healed." Paul and Zabeth whom you have failed to get to know or to understand, are good and decent people and capable parents.
Take a peek at Josiah, so small and needy of his parents, tiny hand curling around his mother's finger, lovingly held in his daddy's and mommy's arms. the link is to an album.

Only the Beginning / Part 443 / For Love and For Justice / Zabeth and Paul Bayne
First breath and Josiah soon is in the arms of his mother. It is a beginning. It signals a new beginning perhaps for Paul and Zabeth. That was one week ago. Three children they have already and all are registered by name as Bayne Children, yet they have not lived with their mom and dad for three years. This new child and his new life however is the herald of a new start for the Bayne family. No, no, that's not the way it works. Not according to the child protection recipe followed by MCFD in British Columbia. If MCFD regards Paul and Zabeth as a risk to their three children, even though every visit several hours each week only confirms that these children love their parents and want to be with them, then it must be assumed that Paul and Zabeth cannot be trusted to care responsibly for Josiah. Consequently, within hours of his emergence, Josiah may no longer look to his mother for warmth and caress and nourishment and rest, for he has been subsumed among the properties of a social service agency that engenders more apprehension than consolation during the past decades. The confessions of so many of you attest that the Baynes are not an isolated case.
Yet possibly, Josiah's birth and capture is only the beginning and will serve in the near future to give rise to a new beginning. The public cannot for much longer be expected to accept such invasive action against children and their parents regardless of the strength of MCFD's legal authorization and mandate.
