15th August, 2014Good Morning Dino,

Hello, how are you?

I am writing this email mainly because of my children’s most recent messages. I am concerned for their welfare.

Blake is now a dope smoker and calls himself damaged goods – I have lost touch with him and am concerned; in the four years that we’ve been deprived from contact, he’s changed from being a loving, happy go lucky boy to using profanities that not even I speak. His messages are out of character and hostile; he is vulnerable and turning to alcohol and dope smoking for solutions and this is where I believe the department of Child Protection (Australia) has failed him, who promised the judge in court to do a better job on my kids than the upbringing I gave them. Yet in my care, Blake would never have ended up in such a state, he had dreams to be a forensic investigator since he was 8 years old and humanitarian goals, for instance he used to always say that because he was raised without his father and knows what it’s like to always want one, he wants to spend a portion of his pay when he grows up to invest in a new movement for community benefit to help boys in the same position, who’s mothers cannot give them their fathers, establishing an inclusion type programme offering them support...);;; Blake was loved dearly and adored for his ‘heart of gold’. Unfortunately Kristen was jealous of his happiness and now as a result of such intervention from the Department of Child Protection, he’s just as miserable as her. Dino, he is only 16, still a child and should have his mind on a brighter future – they have broken his spirit it seems, crimes against humanity.

Kristen on the other hand, is displaying a level of hatred that is unhealthy and that I thought only my mother was capable of – but Kristen has been in her care for prolonged periods against my instruction to the department of child protection; she believes (judging by her emails) that in the 16 years of raising them kids singlehandedly (with no help from anyone, holding down two jobs at times and spending my last cent on their tennis, ballet, basketball lessons and private school fee’s), she claims that I never fed, housed and clothed them... I was annoyed and told her that she needs help! I mean, how is that even possible, to slip through an uncompromising system for so long treating children in such a despicable manner when I was watched like a hawk by authorities after my return to Country Victoria – the same small town where I first blew the whistle on that Police Officer for sexual assault (who started it all). Even DHS admitted in court that they were watching me closely for so long and labeled me a ninja (which amused the judge a little) because it took them seven years to get their hands on my kids – closing ranks with corrupt police and my mother who manipulated my children, in particular Kristen, to falsify evidence against me so she could have the freedom to do as she pleases; my mother is unfortunately full of envy and hatred and it’s not until my arrival in Malta that understood her ways – Thank God I took after my father!!!

Page 2: Intervention Order - Response and Adjournment for 10Nov2011 - Letter to Dino

When I tried to publically voice my knowledge of such tight monitoring at inconceivable levels from the department of child protection in Australia and their counter parts, an investigation unfitting to the actual turn of events, they were quick to label me paranoid giving way to mental health concerns (at the time, they were claiming that they were dealing with something they can’t see...), yet they openly admitted to monitoring me for so long in the court room – knowing something is happening but not being able to prove it, does not constitute a mental illness. My brother in aid of my mother’s claims to assist authorities to remove my children, came up with his own spin on the turn of events that he never actually witnessed and invented his classic ‘Private Investigator Story – he had the medical practitioners convinced. Al this has obviously impacted on children over the years (while separated from me) in a negative way... my mother and her right hand man, my brother Matthew, made every effort to run me down to my children at a time when I was not there to defend myself, as a result of being institutionalized; despite me fighting for them behind a locked door.

My final concern is that in my son’s last message, he’s almost quoted word for word my husband’s conversation in brief – words that he would never have used on me. I have asked my husband, who has admitted to infidelity (and went as far as to disclose details of his affair), to refrain from involving my son who is considered a minor in our adult circumstances/affairs; however, my husband seems adamant on using my son (as vulnerable as he may be at 16 and under the circumstances), for some kind of back up because alone, my husband in his attempts to prove me insane to basically cover his own ass, has a very weak case and he know it – a case of built on bullshit. The calculated deception at play forms part of the grounds for separation, the underlying issue is greed.

Can you please forward this information (including the document attached) on my behalf, to my children’s case workers and notify them that I wish to continue my life here in Malta, abiding by court orders as set in Australia regarding contact with my children; until such time that I am legally allowed to see my son and daughter again – when they turn 18, in 2016 for my son.

Thank you, for your time and I look forward to your response.Best Regards,

Anne Agius (Gelcirisio)

CONFIDENTIAL COURT REPORTSTATMENT OF REASONS

RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION ORDER BY APPLICANT – CASE No.B12570441

Attn: Hon. GrantMelbourne Children’s Court 477 Little Lonsdale Street Melbourne 3000

C/c – St Vincent’s Hospital FitzroyC/c – Department of Human Services (North & West Metropolitan Region)

Case No# B12570441 & Case No# 5216/2011: Kristen Dyer – 21/9/95 Blake Dyer – 28/2/98

To Whom It May Concern,

I would like to take this opportunity to respond to the interim “Intervention Order” lodged by the applicant, my parent/s, in my absence on behalf of my children Kristen and Blake Dyer.

The Application and Summons for an Intervention Order contains defamatory statements, false accusations and incorrect information in relation to the reasons “why” such an order is needed.

Here in this letter, I would like to make an application to adjourn the matter listed for the 10th November, 2011 and have it rebooked as a contested hearing, separately to Case No.5216/2011; which will enable the opportunity to contest both matters and adequately process the volumes of information contained.

I am currently in hospital; my status is involuntary until possibly end of November; however, I can make myself available to attend court on 7th December, 2011, for a contested hearing for the above mentioned, as per my telephone conversation with Anna McKenzie.

IN RESPONSE TO REASONS “WHY” SUCH AN ORDER SHOULD NOT BE GRANTED, PREVENTING CONTACT WITH MY CHILDREN WHOM I HAVE RAISED SINGLE HANDEDLY FOR THE PAST 16 YEARS:

1. The above mentioned order states, “the respondent is my daughter and the mother of my children, Kristen and Blake, who I apply for this order for today 9/9/2011.”

1a). The respondent is not the mother of Mr and Ms Gelicrisio’s children.

Page 4: Intervention Order - Response and Adjournment for 10Nov2011 - Letter to Dino

1b). The Intervention order in question was supposedly taken out The same night I was taken into hospital and sectioned by police (9th September, 2011), who found me in the neighbor’s lounge room loaning money to pay the taxi fare because my parents posed to absent from home; and was only served with the documents for the above mentioned order 18th October, 2011 (the same afternoon my diagnosis was first made).

2. The respondent attended my house & threatened to kill me, “I want to fu**ing kill you…”

2a). The only contact I had with my parents that night was in the presence of police who found me at the neighbors’ house because my parents were not home and the police did not witness such behavior’s.

2b). The police and neighbor’s both stood by and witnessed my mother’s aggression towards me and that I did not return any aggression nor exchange words with my parents prior to entering the family home with police; I took a taxi to Williamstown answering my son’s distress call to collect him from my mother house who pretended upon not to be home – there was no such violence – and therefore, I proceeded to the neighbor’s home to collect fare for the Taxi waiting outside, whom the police witnessed upon arrival. I WAS NOT VOILENT NOR AGGRESSIVE, NOT IN FRONT OF MY PATENTS, NOT INFORNT OF THE POLICE, NOR IN THE PRESENCE OF STAFF AND CO-PATIENTS DURING MY ENTIRE STAY AT THE HOSPITAL TO DATE; WHICH DR SANDEEP FROM THE MERCY WERRIBEE HOSPITAL HAD CLEARLY NOTED ON MY PATIENT FILE.

2C) My mother in displaying aggression was provoking me in the presence of police officers on the night of the 9/9/2011, into an aggressive reaction; which I FAILED TO RECIPRICATE.

3. She has serious mental health issues and the CATT Team and Police both attended the incident

3a). In 2001, I was deemed cleared from all psychiatric illness after approximately two years of regression therapy, which I appointed myself to as a result of wanting a new improved relationship with my mother; who repeatedly beat me and fractured my wrist as a child and then used my LESS LIKED siblings to out-number my complaints to school authorities labeling me as mentally ill AND A COMPULSIVE LIAR from an early age to mar my complaints.

Page 5: Intervention Order - Response and Adjournment for 10Nov2011 - Letter to Dino

3b). My mother called the police and I believe she deceived my son into complying who initially phoned me to collect him from the family home, due to feeling intimidated by my mother while in her care – I have not been allowed to speak with my son since to follow up and/or confirm ANYTHING.

3c). The *CATT Team witnessed the hostility towards me by my mother who openly discriminated the neighbor’s (who assisted in paying the taxi fare) based on religious practices in the presence of both the *CATT Team and Police.

*Please refer to the attached notes dated 8th, 9th and 19th September, 2011.

4. She is a Black Belt in Karate and is extremely aggressive by nature…

4a). I got my provisional black belt at 16, which stopped my mother’s beatings; however it is not kick-boxing and self control is taught before self defense; it is not an aggressive sports; it is non-contact and the sports karate style is designed for tournaments only where you’re trained on a point system and not on killing anyone; and the last time I trained for tournaments was at 16 (22 years ago).

4b). I have since had two children and two domestic violent marriage type relationships, which I fled to a refuge for protection; UNLESS I AM CORNERED, I DO NOT FIGHT BACK, I RUN FROM DANGER AS MY FIRST INITIAL REACTION; I do not like fighting and am not aggressive by nature.

5. We hid Blake from her at the time of these threats and my son took Kristen to the police station to seek help. She had physically abused her children, by hitting them with objects, starving them and preventing them from going to school or taking them to the hospital.

5a). I DID NOT ABUSE, NEGLECT NOR STARVE MY CHILDREN; THESE ARE FALSE ACCUSATION AND INCORRECT.

5b). My son Blake may have been hid against his will, as my trip to Williamstown was for the purpose to collect my son; Blake had telephoned me in distress expressing feelings of intimidation and fear against my mother; he further claimed to be manipulated by my mother with his favorite (highly addictive) computer games.

5c). My daughter Kristen (at 15) had disappeared for three days in New Zealand after going to a forbidden rave party with her 23 year old work supervisor, Sam, against my will; she became

Page 6: Intervention Order - Response and Adjournment for 10Nov2011 - Letter to Dino

very angry with me for involving the police and attempting to expose Sam whom she vowed to protect and wanted to run off the marry and have babies with.Under the circumstances, it is not unreasonable to assume that my mother may have coerced my daughter for support in lodging false complaints against me AT HER PEAK ADOLESENCE. This is not my daughter’s first offence involving police presence; she’s been previously apprehended for shop lifting at 13 for stealing foundation makeup from Woolworths in Western Australia (Rockingham) upon me refusing to allow Kristen to wear it at school (at 13) and therefore refused to buy it for her.

5d). My son has been homeschooled since 2006 with the Australian

Christian Academy; since taking St Brendan’s Primary School (Shepparton) to court for abuse of power of position in relation to forwarding false complaints to DHS instead of protecting my son at 6 against school yard bullying (picked on for being different); and further failing in their duty of care to educate my son on fair terms. My son is dyslexic like me and instead of providing a teachers aid, the mentioned school was pushing to refer my son to a school doctor for ADHD, to administer medication needlessly and effectively silence him in the classroom. The school barristers in court pleaded to have all my witnesses thrown out in fear of opening up a can of worms that could result in a class action law suit, as there were plenty other parents complaining of similar experience; in response to having all my witnesses thrown out, I then refused to take the stand and the case was dismissed.

6. She has taken the children’s clothing, possessions and anything that she thought we bugged…

6a). the above statement, as mentioned on the application and summons for an intervention order, IS UTTERLY RIDICULOUS AND FALSE (not even worth a response)!

6b). I bought my son disigner shoes, skate board and a hat to the vale of $400 upon returning from New Zealand, which he still has.

7. There is a PA placing the children in our care…

7a). There may be a conflict of interest and that DHS may have failed to act impartially; hence my application to the court to appoint the “Children’s Court Council Clinic” to act as an impartial body on behalf of my children.

Page 7: Intervention Order - Response and Adjournment for 10Nov2011 - Letter to Dino

7b). I have made several applications to the court for adjournments as so to adequately defend against false allegations mentioned on the subsequent DHS report who may have failed to act impartially.My mother who instigated such allegations (and coerced my daughter for support – outnumbering my complaints using the siblings I least get along with), has worked for a subsidiary branch of DHS for many years via the Family day care Program and hit children in her care, which I threatened to expose prior to collecting my son on 9/9/2011.

7c). My mother has subjected me to prolonged abuse, in particular physical assault as a child in her care and it is believed she has long standing relations with DHS who have placed my children in her care on the interim; and therefore, it is not unreasonable to assume that DHS may not have acted impartially in producing their 19 page report containing defamatory statements and incorrect information. This damaging report containing false accusations and incorrect information is doing all the damage and has been the major contributing factor for my current diagnosis and treatment here at the hospital where I am held against my will as an involuntary patient

7d). The matter in relation to my treatment is listed for a VCAT Hearing to contest my patient status and diagnosis (requesting evidence for the alleged abuse I supposedly subjected my children to, according to the allegation listed on the DHS report in question)

7e). A second opinion will be sought by another consultant psychiatrist.

8. …I am fearful that she will carry through with the threats to kill us and the children???

8a). My parents have raised me in domestic violence and bestowed co-dependent, care taking traits on me from an early age; my memories of my childhood abuse cause me concern of my children being placed in the care of my parents on the interim, as I do not believe that my son has been given a voice; my parents only know how to intimidate and control through fear by way of example and if anyone should be scared it should be me because now they are attacking the very core of my existence.

8b). I LOVE MY CHIDREN AND HAVE NOT COPED VERY WELL WITHOUT THEM, CURRENTLY FIGHTING DEPRESSION.

Page 8: Intervention Order - Response and Adjournment for 10Nov2011 - Letter to Dino

8c). IN LIFE, I REALISE THAT IT’S NOT ABOUT MONEY, IT’S ABOUT PROVIDING ENOUGH FOR YOUR FAMILY TO GET BY AND TO ACHIEVE HAPPINESS TOGETHER AND I AM VERY CAPABLE OF THIS; AND THE RIGHT TO MY CHILDREN THAT I HAVE SPENT THE BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE RAISING AS A SINGLE PARENT FOR SO MANY SUCCESSFUL YEARS.

8d). I AM NOT ANGRY WITH MY MOTHER, I’M JUST VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT SHE TRIED TO TAKE SOMETHING FROM ME THAT I HAVE DEVOTED ALL MY LIFE TO LOOKING AFTER AND LIVE FOR; AND TO TAKE SOMETHING THAT’S VERY CLOSE TO MY HEART.

8e). I CAN NOT HELP THE HAND I WAS DEALT AS A CHILD IN MY MOTHER’S CARE, HOWEVER, MY CHILDREN ARE THE ONLY FAMILY I’VE EVER HAD AFTER THAT AND I CAN NOT IMAGINE A LIFE WITHOUT THEM.

Thursday 8 th September, 2011

My mother has raised me in a domestic violent house hold, where she subjected me to years of beatings; put downs and less favourable treatment on a daily basis, because I did not fit her traditional ideas of a girl, one who cooks and cleans up after the boys!

My mother and I engaged in heated argument over her disciplinary ideas for my son Blake, who was at her house spending “boy” time with my father.The argument with my mother ended with me threatening my mother with the following statement, “if you so much as put one scratch on my son while he is in your house spending time with dad, I will not hesitate in calling the police and reporting you to DHS for not only the abuse you subjected me to as a child (which never came to light) but also for hitting other people’s children (Ixia and Nemesia) while in your care during the family day care program that was run by the Williamstown Council (funded by DHS)”.

My mother Lilly, with so much aggression, promised to use her credibility to have me locked up and written off as a lunatic and then ensuring my children are removed from my care permanently; if she was successful in waging war against me, my complaints and that of my children’s would effectively be silenced. I ended the conversation by stating, “enjoy Blake while you can because once I collect him, we won’t be coming back again and that there is a very good reason why I only visit your mad house once every six years...”

Friday 9 th September, 2011

The next evening my son Blake called me to collect him from my mother’s house, he was complaining of a sore back and failed to go into detail as to what happened. By this point he was in my father’s care for a few days since our return to Melbourne, Victoria; my son seemed scared of my mother, he complained that she was constantly running me down and felt intimidated by some of my grown up siblings who regularly visit and often take her side.During conversation, my son was cut short and call was terminated; upon trying to phone him back my sister, who was visiting my mother at the time had refused me the opportunity to talk to my son and also cut me short of conversation and again the call was terminated.

Page 9: Intervention Order - Response and Adjournment for 10Nov2011 - Letter to Dino

I called a Taxi immediately, with no money to spare and in a great hurry I ordered the Taxi Driver to my mother’s house to collect my son; I promised to pay the bill upon arrival.

When I arrived at my mother house to collect my son, he was nowhere to be found and no one answered the front door after knocking several times in the presence of the taxi driver; it seemed no one was home. The taxi driver thought I was trying to avoid his fare and wanted my mobile phone for insurance. I later found out that my mother refused to answer the door because she was on the phone to the police lodging false complaints against me to prevent me from collecting my son from her care in the case that he would make allegations against her; the police were on their way. Not knowing this at the time of arrival, I proceeded to the neighbour’s house to loan Taxi Fare. Minutes later the police arrived, were looking for me and found me at my neighbours house collecting fare for the taxi driver parked outside.Initially I thought police presence was called upon by the Taxi driver who may have assumed I was avoiding payment of his fare; when I tried to explain the Taxi issue to the police, they had explained that my mother called them and it has nothing to do with the Taxi waiting outside; police ordered the taxi to leave.

I accompanied the police to my mother’s house and as I approached the front gate my mother, in the presence of the police officer (Constable Wormington) she became very aggressive towards me, name calling me and carrying on in this manner stating loudly, “I will show you now, I will show you…” I couldn’t understand how the police officers just stood by and did nothing about my mother’s aggressive behaviours towards me but still insisted I enter the house; due to my mother’s aggression I initially hesitated but decided to co-operated with police as I trusted they would act impartial ensuring my protection. The police officers had explained in brief that my mother called on them because she believes that I am a danger to myself and to the community; she was supported by my adult siblings waiting quietly in the neighbouring kitchen.The police officer, Constable Wormington, went on to explain that he will be calling an ambulance who will be accompanied by the CATT Team for an on the spot assessment and that the CATT Team officer will determine whether I need to be accompanied to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation or not!

After the ambulance arrived, I was questioned and assessed on my mother couch by the officer for a period of approximately half an hour; who did not deemed it necessary for me to be taken into hospital for a psychiatric evaluation as she clearly stated that I did not meet all 5 criteria of section 8.1 of the Mental Health Act and therefore I cannot be taken in under section 9 of the ACT; instead this officer had observed that there is obviously a communication breakdown between my mother and me and that we need the opportunity to talk about it. I insisted on seeing my son, as I’ve come to collect him from my mother’s house, who has prevented me from doing so by not answering the door at the time of arrival.My mother was outraged and in a hurry called for a meeting in the kitchen with the police officers and my adult siblings, outnumbering my complaints, 4 against 1.The police officer came out of the kitchen and overruled the decision of the CATT Team Officer, he said there are too many people in the kitchen saying the same thing and apprehended me under section 10 of the Mental Health Act; I was driven to the Footscray Emergency Ward in the back of the police van (Patient No#975103).

Page 10: Intervention Order - Response and Adjournment for 10Nov2011 - Letter to Dino

Judging by the noise coming from the back window of the house that faces the road, It’s possible that my son may have been helplessly watching from the inside and ordered not to come out of the room; as I heard constant knocking coming from that window on the way over to the police van, as if someone was desperately trying to grab my attention. I was very heart broken but co-operated with authority in trust that the police would do their job well and everything would get sorted out quickly; my mobile phone was removed and my bag containing a camera and confidential information confiscated by police. I was refused phone calls to call for legal advice and to make contact with my son and was placed under strict police surveillance in the Footscray Hospital Emergency Ward while waiting for a doctor to see me.

Monday 19 th September, 2011

I had a brief five minute conversation with Amy Rooke who wanted to know if I think there are private investigators after me. She added, that my brother had stated that we’ve been on the run for the past few years escaping private investigators…; I did not agree to an examination with Amy without legal representation, however, I did roll my eyes and make the following statement, “there are no private investigators and I think the whole story is ridiculous”; and that my socio-economic position is the major contributing factor that I have had several address and not because we were on the run from some rubbish private investigator story... (despite our rental premises’ being sold quickly during the property market boom in Western Australia, I still managed to hold down two major rental properties both for a period of two and a-half years (a) in Shepparton (Vic) from 2004 to 2007 and (b) in Baldivis (W.A) from 2007 to 2009. The Mental Health Act in Section 8(2)(m), clearly states that “a person is not to be considered to be mentally ill by reason only of any one or more of the following; (m) that the person has a particular economic or social status...”

I made myself clear to Amy during our conversation that my priorities are with my children and I would like regular contact with my son, Blake, without any further delay as he is living with my mother who has beaten me as a child in her care and that understood, I am naturally concerned for his welfare.

Sandeep (Amy’s Assistant Psychiatrist), came to me after lunch and served me with documentation in preparation for the appeal, scheduled to be heard on 21/9/95; as I did not agree with the contents of the mentioned documentation, I wanted an opportunity to formally respond. Referring to the information contained within the prepared document, I voiced errors directly with Sandeep and at one point stating “that I never agreed to medication but was simply given an ultimatum between the needle or the pill”…; I further discussed the possibility of taking my medication later on that same evening, as a one off allowance, to enable me a reliable response in writing and to produce court ready documentation before the mentioned (scheduled) date.

I approached the nurses desk and asked to speak with my duty nurse, Ekura, wanting to ask her if it would be ok for me to take my medication after 10:30pm, as I have an appeal approaching fast – that I may be forced to represent myself –

Page 11: Intervention Order - Response and Adjournment for 10Nov2011 - Letter to Dino

and feel I may need to work till late completing my responses in due course? I further explained that I needed to be RELIABLE IN DOCUMENTING INFORMATION and that I CAN NOT BE SEDATED WHILE TRYING TO PRODUCE COURT DOCUMENTATION, AS IT WOULD HEAVILY COMPROMISE MY MEMORY, ENERGY LEVELS AND RELIABILITY.Ekura said “NO”, even after explaining to her that I had discussed it Sandeep and he didn’t seem to have a problem with my reasoning.Ekura out of the blue became very aggressive, as she did not believe my communication with Sandeep had taken place; she began shouting at me from over the counter calling me a “MANIPULATOR AND A LIAR” and further stating that “I AM A VERY ANGRY GIRL”; her tone of voice was hostile and uninviting and Ekura’s behaviour was out of control, ultimately making an example out of me to all present (co-patients and staff alike who failed to intervene).

I was not, under any circumstances, going to allow Ekura to provoke a negative reaction out of me, as I was trying to avoid the HD Ward and isolation, so I just let her carry on and began to write her put down’s on paper (as I was standing on the other side of the front counter)…Ekura became outranged of my attempts to document her words and with force, she snatched my documentation from under me (containing legal notes in relation to the on-coming appeal), and stormed out, forcing me to follow her into the computer room (to retrieve my confidential documents) where I was isolated and out of sight from other patients, subjected to abuse and falsely accused of staff splitting.In the computer room, Ekura, was shouting at me cheek to cheek flying false accusation at me, belittling me, standing over me and further spiting in my face with each word she spoke; I blatantly refused to engage, as my martial arts background has taught me self control before self defence.With each pause I would respond by simply stating “I am not doing this with you right now and especially not like this”; Ekura then said, “black belt huh, what about it huh, black belt, yeah black belt huh…”.I might have been very good at sports orientated karate when I was sixteen (twenty-two years ago) but I don’t like fighting and am not aggressive by nature; and therefore I refused to return Ekura’s challenge.

In a same tone calm voice and careful not to fuel her, I used the broken record technique and repeatedly asked her to stop shouting and start talking and that I am not going to engage with her on such terms.Ekura then went on to accuse me of giving legal advice and said IN A RAGE, “how dare you give patients legal advice, six patients have said so” and “don’t you ever dare type out a legal will for Sharon again, She would never have known to ask for that on her own”. I tried to explain, as stated a number of times that it’s simply not my place to give legal advice and that I did not type out a legal will for anyone (I wouldn’t even know how to do it for myself let alone anyone else), as I am not a qualified legal practitioner; I continued to add that when she is calm, I would be more than happy to sit down and resolve any issues of concern directly with her”…SHE STORMED OUT AND CLOSED THE DOOR while I was still standing inside the computer room by the doorway.

I couldn’t help thinking that if it was me who behaved in such a way towards a staff member - if I had of so much as retaliated or even just acted in self defence - I would have been locked away in the High Dependency Unit, punished with

Page 12: Intervention Order - Response and Adjournment for 10Nov2011 - Letter to Dino

injections and information in relation to such behaviours promptly added to my hospital files!

I asked Mel (the A.C.N.), if she could as a matter of urgency mediate communication with Ekura and me, briefly explaining that I was subjected to bullying and concerned with the level of false accusations, which could have an adverse effect on my treatment; I also requested not to be placed in Ekura’s care again as I cannot possibly be expected to trust her again.Mel kindly agreed and during mediation, Mel informed me for the first time about the nursing management plan informing me that I could only approach the bench once every hour; I was more than happy to comply despite having to legally represent myself in a complicated matter that I am not qualified to take on and therefore, needing staff assistance more frequently than other patients with different circumstances.

It is my understanding that the above mentioned incident is a failure of duty of care by the offending person; to protect vulnerable patients from harm and a failure to care for such a patient in a supportive and professional environment – breech of The Mental Health Act, Section 6A (a), “people with a Mental Disorder should be provided with timely and high quality treatment and care...” and is also an offence under the law of “Totrs”; no apology was made by Ekura to correct her unacceptable behaviours in this instance.

I would like kindly make an application to the courts for the following requests:

ACCESS TO MY SON BLAKE DYER HERE AT THE HOSPITAL UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF MEDICAL STAFF ONLY AND NOT THE SUPERVISION OF DHS NOR THAT OF FAMILY MEMBERS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MY PARENTS.

ACCESS TO TAKE PLACE EVERY FRIDAY AND SUNDAY FROM 4PM TO 7PM ON EACH DAY

AND THEN TO HAVE THE ABOVE REVIEWED IN COURT UPON DISCHARGE FROM THE HOSPITAL, AS I AM EMPLOYED AND HAVE A STABLE ROOF OVER MY HEAD TO MOVE ONTO.
