Melissa in Australia Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) Thank you everyone for your prayers and positive thoughts.

Tap Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) (((((((((Huggs))))))))))) I wish I could reach my arms around the world and giver you a hug IRL. You have tried so hard to make the right decisions and to live a kind, generous and compassionate life. It is so hard when doing the right thing, comes back to bite you. The expression "no good deed goes unpunished" exists for a reason. So many times, the hurt and drama in some peoples lives, just seems to spread out, grow and overcome the good in others. I wish I could take away the hurt and rewind time for you. Edited January 18, 2018 by Tap 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Coast Sue Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I'm so sorry for the pain, hurt, and trauma. You've given everything and more than anyone could ever ask of you or your family. It's more than wrong for an official to find any fault with the love and care you've given.

Melissa in Australia Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 We are relieved that we have finally been able to appeal. We lodged the appeal in beginning of November. The process is meant to be done in 28 days. it was not until Wednesday this week that we even knew if our request for an appeal would be acted on. the whole process started in September and has dragged on and on . with much misinformation, lack of communication and most frustrating the complete lack of ability to defend ourselves on unknown allegations. even now we have appealed we don't fully know what we are appealing as no official documentation has been provided to us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 We are meant to know the allegations, but we haven't been officially informed, just given A brief unofficial email .theappeal person was quite shocked that we haven't been given an official letter with allegations etc. the wholeprocess has been a huge mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkTulip Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) I'm not sure how the legal system works in Australia, but it sounds like if this doesn't turn out in your favor, you would have grounds for an appeal of that decision based on not being properly informed within the 28 day period. I'm so sorry you are going through all of this, and pray that the ruling will be in your favor.

JoJosMom Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Oh, dear God. I just saw this. I will pray for you and your family. I agree with a poster above. There simply aren't enough swear words to adequately describe this. I guess bureaucracies are bureaucracies the world around. And yet the bureaucrats wonder why people refuse to participate in the system? Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me, for in you I take refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed. Psalm 57:1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment we are not in the "legal System" but rather a system that makes its own rules and changes them whenever it suits them. They are being very careful to keep it out of the actual legal system sorry to be so vague. When it is hopefully over I will post about it. as a warning to others what can happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa in Australia Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 So we have heard absolutely nothing. They are once again not going by their own timetables that they insist that they follow but don't.
