I am marching from Cairns to Brisbane in protest against the department of child safety
People say I should get over Luke's death, move on. Move onto what? My life started when Luke was born, so did the abuse of Lukes by his mom, that actually started while he was still in her stomach. I havn't said much about this at all as I know Luke loved his mother, she only hurt him to get at me, she knew how much I loved Luke. You could not hurt me more than by hurting Luke, and that is exactly what the department of child safety did continuously, to the point of causing his death.
It is going on eight months since Luke died, I feel like I have left my soul mate behind, my best friend, my life long partner, I never knew what love was until my son was born. I never knew sorrow until he was taken from me.
I don't think there is much more I can do on Luke's site now, I just hope people use Luke's army to expose the scale of injustice and malpractise which continues daily within the department of child safety. They never once considered me as a father.
I have been wondering what to do now, not for myself but for Luke. When Luke was alive, he was everything I lived for. Every drawing I did I hoped Luke would see on someone's wall someday and say "My
Daddy did that." I remember the dragon I gave him for his second birthday, he jumped and squealed in delight, the happiest I have ever seen him. I was told by the DoCS case worker it was inapropriate to give him a dragon, and once again she was wrong. Absolutely clueless in every attempt at knowing what was best for a child, and I had to endure her constant negativity.
Fathers Day is in a week, Luke's Birthday is a couple of weeks after that and then Christmas. I am still trying to live my life for Luke, it was the best my life has ever been, and I don't want it to stop. My son did not endure such abuse and neglect, torture in the form of not being allowed to see the father he loved so much. I will not let his death be swept under the carpet and forgotten.
I have decided to march to Brisbane in protest against the murder of my son by the department of child safety. I will put Luke's piano, his drums, and his guitar in the back of my ute and have a concert at the end of each day. I have a drummer as my driver and after this, Luke's Army will have a quality musical outfit.
I am asked if I am making money from this quite often, does it cost anything to join Luke's Army? I intend to fund this trip by selling my art and accepting money for the concerts. I went to the casino yesterday and won a couple of thousand, this will cover fixing the ute and rego. Last night I went into Cairns city where they have a piano in the mall. I went in at one o'clock in the morning so no one would be there. I am self taught and not that good. I didn't even put a pot out but people put money on the piano. Almost fifty dollars in an hour, and fifty people singing along with me. This is all encouraging and confirms to me that I am doing the right thing.
I am doing this march to expose this injustice, and to stop the department of child safety from getting away with killing kids again and again. And I am doing it because it means I am still living my life for Luke, without him I have no reason to live. I will never be the man I was when I was Luke's Dad again. I was somebody because my little boy thought the world of me.

My two year old boy was left to die
http://www.lukesarmy.com
The day that DoCS (The Department of Child safety) took my little boy away.
I gave Luke that silver childrens size drum kit the day they took him away. That is what reminded me that the woman from the Department of Child Safety was watching when we filmed this. I wanted to show her how good he was. At this stage I had him singing, playing piano, guitar and harmonica every day and he had begun to http://lukesarmy.com/node/119?pid=11">draw.>
His mum had gone missing for a week and Luke and I enjoyed each others company more than anything in the world. On the last morning when he woke up, he started talking like I had never seen him talk before, neither would I see him talking so happily again. He was taken from me five minutes after http://forums.altnews.com.au/content/lukes-army">this video.
The child safety woman did not give a reason for anything. She took him from his sleep, I was religous about his midday nap. The only people who ever woke him up, ever, during his midday nap was child safety. Twice.
He was taken and put with his mother in housing supplied by some emergence housing place. They took him despite his mothers long list of complaints from the public about the neglect of Lukes two older siblings, both born 7 years apart from each other. In fact one womans shelter had reported her to DoCS and stated that all of her money was spent on Drugs and Alcohol and they were forced to feed the children. She was so drunk she asked them to ring an ambulance because she couldnt feel her legs. Another womans shelter kicked her out on the first night because she got so drunk. Now on this day when they took Luke away I was fine, as you see in the video I did with Luke where I played piano and Luke sang and also played piano. Once they rang me and asked me if I had been giving him lollies or soft drinks. I told them I always brought fruit and childrens drinks for the visits and enquired as to why they would ask this. She told me that he was very upset and disturbed after our visit together. Any fool could tell you that is because he missed the one person who always protected him, adored him, worshipped him, http://lukesarmy.com/node/83?pid=11">spoilt him rotten. Later they would take him from me, after I had been drug free and in a successful relationship with Lukes Mum as she had stopped abusing alcohol when we went to Townsville. He was taken away screaming by a policeman and shifted from foster home to foster home in Townsville, and then from foster home to foster home in Cairns, until he was left for six hours with a fractured skull while at one of those foster homes, this ultimately caused Lukes death. My two year old son was kicked out of his foster home the day before christmas. Now if I did that to my two year old, I would be in Jail. If I left my little boy there with a fractured skull, bleeding on the brain, a blood clot, scratches on the face and a finger that must have been slammed into a door to be that purple, I would be in Jail. Let me tell you how our government takes care of problems like these. Last year http://www.childsafety.qld.gov.au/performance/child-protection/child-death.html">sixty three children died while in foster care.
