| Wednesday 30 September 1998. 6:30 PM Suzi is furious
and very upset.
She says she is sick of being so restrained, but she has to be. She has to be the
person she wants our AJ to see her as. Not a person who has been victimised,
attacked, insulted and questioned.
Suzi is sick of people questioning her right to Breast Feed.
Suzi is sick of people questioning her right to bring up her child.
"I'm not a person who swears and gets violent. I just have personal
dignity" explained Suzanne to me. Only problem is she has now dignity.
She has no self respect.
Suzi worked out what was happening. Kelly the "Officer" from DOCS who
was holding AJ when we entered the office is in fact a Staff Foster Carer. There was
no intention by DOCS to take AJ to a medical examination. It was purely the way the
events rolled out at the time and the fact that Sen Constable Bent entered my office and
was very surprised by what he saw.
Kelly was also at the Doctors appointment on Tuesday. DOCS and the Dr tried very
hard to separate me from Suzanne and AJ. There was no hiding this. He did not
wish to listen to anything Suzanne or I had to say. So we left the premises.
There wasn't much choice. Action will be taken in the near future against the
Doctor from Liverpool.
Suzanne speaks for what is really the first time:
I'm feeling furious and at the same time impotent.
I have no one to express this to and everyone is making phone calls and I'm not
seeing anything happening. I'm spending my whole days with AJ and I'm getting no
vindication. I don't know how you turn the other cheek on something like this, I
don't know how you do. Maybe I just have to be patient and hot coals will be poured
on their heads. That's what it says in the bible. If you show restraint and
kindness to your enemies you pour hot coals on their head.
Just by being a good person they will see what evil
people they are. That's what I want. I want them to stop saying "We're
good people." I want them to see what they are. I want them to get up and admit
they are evil people. I want them to admit they do cause heartbreak to thousands.
I want them to stop denying the truth. That word
describes them - evil - they are evil.
(Would you believe I typed that whilst she was saying it!)
