In November 2023 Dee Mclachlan released her book "the child protection racket". Introduction: The book documents the unwarranted, unlawful, often forced removal of children from parents in Australia via secret closed “star chamber” style courts. Although it is a major global industry, Australia is a world leader in child removals. You as the reader can decide whether they are abducted, kidnapped, stolen and/or trafficked in a “cash for kids” trade. The system fosters a dysfunctional society by destroying families, eroding love, and disrupting the sacred mother-child bond. The cruelty imposed on these families is indescribable and still today remains largely hidden from the public.
