Hi @Appleblossom

 

You will know when to open the Inquest - the first time I read my son's inquest I read it at the Coroner's Court and went up to Life Line in Melbourne crying all the way and they spoke to me straight away

 

The second time was much later and as hard as it was - and as hard as it can be to tell anyone the details - I can read it without falling apart - but most details I will keep to myself for the rest of my life

 

Yes - I have been triggered by the situation at the Melbourne Juvenile Justice Centre - I am not sure what will happen but I feel myself I have been there and done and and remember Forest Gump when he stopped running - other people were lost when he stopped - but he had run as far as he wanted to - and that's how I have to think about what I did for all of that and the Aboriginal Deaths in Custody also

 

At the same time I do care about the bigger picture - I guess I have to hold it in my heart for now and wait and see how I feel

 

At the same time I have heard that the Government wants to New Start and Youth Allowances - our kids are not given a fair chance and this really p^ss^s me off in a serious way. I will respond to that one.

 

Yes - I need my own thread  - I have the urge to soap-box from time to time (I must search for a soap-box so you will all know for sure that I know for sure that I am soap-boxing?

 

And I am glad I am clever - like - too clever for whom - I think we need people in LE with some medical knowledge - in fact - I am constantly amazed how much information of all kinds is shared in this Forum
