Podcasts about children's aid society

Today's episode, we will revisit my chat with my friend Melissa and will dive into the second part of her experience. In Part 1, she spoke openly about the struggles she faced with depression and raising her rebellious teen daughter V, who was struggling with her own mental health issues, unknown to Melissa at that time. We ended the last episode with Melissa finding out that V was pregnant and she wanted to once again move out from her mother’s home and get her own place with her boyfriend to raise her baby. Melissa’s story today cover’s extremely sensitive topics such as Postpartum depression, Child Abuse, dealing with Foster care situations and navigating the convoluted Red Tape of Children's Aid Society in Ontario or, CAS. This experience and content is very heavy and may be difficult to hear. For some, it may trigger painful emotions. Listener discretion is Advised. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bulletproofwomen/message

"We were there to fail," explains Sixties Scoop survivor and special guest Darcy Belanger. The Government created policy that made it easy to take children from their homes. They called it adoption, survivors call it cultural genocide. The connection was broken and while the Children's Aid Society is apologizing and the government is laying money on the table, there isn't a sum that justifies what happened to Darcy and others like him. This Sixties Scoop episode is one of the episodes you need to hear.

Florida Hamilton was born in Bessemer, Alabama in 1925 and reared in Birmingham. After graduating from Parker High School, she married a minister. Hamilton cared for her family while working for local physicians and with the Children's Aid Society. Encouraged by her best friend from church, Hamilton began attending mass meetings in the early 1960s. She took her children along. The entire Hamilton family was involved in meetings, marches, and demonstrations. In Fall 1964, one year after two Black students had integrated and graduated from Birmingham's West End High School, Reverend and Mrs. Hamilton enrolled their daughter, Carrie, in the school. Carrie was the only Black student in the school, for other Black families who had planned to send their children opted out before the first day of school. Listen to Florida Hamilton remember the day that Carrie faced a crowd of angry Whites and proudly entered West End High School.
