The young child of a Chinese immigrant has some red bruise on his back. His teacher reported to the social worker . The child was removed. The parents were accused of "child abuse". This is the storyline of a movie called "The Treatment", which is based on a real event. The removal is due to the lack of understanding of a traditional Chinese medical treatment. The red bruise was not a sign of abuse but created after the treatment was administered to the child, who will not feel any pain during the process. In early 2009, a similar incident occurred in Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada).

A middle class Chinese woman came to Vancouver to deliver her baby and was being taken care of in a maternity centre. She received royal treatment, well fed and ....

Under the new Citizenship Act, children of Canadian landed immigrants not born in Canada will not automatically receive Canadian citizenship. Many immigrants immigrate to Canada for a better future of their children. For the same reason, they return to their home countries to earn a living for their children. Pregnant landed immigrants return to Canada to give birth to ensure their children will get a citizenship. A Chinese couple went back to China after landing in 2004. The wife returned to Vancouver during her second pregnancy in October 2008. Accompanied by her husband and daughter, they resided in a maternity centre in Richmond. In December (2008), she gave birth to a daughter. In January 2009, the couple found their infant sleeping for a long time after they went skiing. They took her to the hospital and was diagnosed that she was injured. She was hospitalized immediately. The older daughter and the children of the owner of the maternity centre were all removed by the Ministry of Children and Family Development. Parents were not allowed access of their children unless supervised. They were not allowed to leave Canada and were being investigated by the police of child abuse.

Medical staff and social workers formed an opinion of child abuse because the parents already have a daughter. They do not want a second daughter. They believe that someone has acted improperly. The parents said that they already know the sex of their unborn child in China. If the Ministry's theory is true, they do not need to spend so much money to return to Canada just to harm their baby. This is very believable. It is well known that many Canadian families can only adopt Chinese girls because they were abandoned due to the preference of male children.

The Ministry has a notorious reputation of removing children without good reasons. Social workers arbitrarily remove children from their families to create jobs for themselves. Without child removals, the Ministry no longer needs to exist. Overly empowered social workers remove children and create more problems by dumping them in foster homes. Society will never have peace if this Ministry is not dismantled.
