Luke Borusiewicz — A Child’s Life, Warnings And Preventable Loss

3 unreturned phone calls to Pat Anderson manager of Child Safety in Cairns. 2 of these were on 9.1.09 and one was on 12.1.09.
Luke’s mother, Jacky, also voiced her concerns about his safety whilst in the care of Joy.

Why he was not given proper care at the time of his injury.
Why was he allowed to ‘sleep’ from 11am til 5pm. I rang the carer, Joy, at 11am on the day of Luke’s injury. She informed me he had returned home, hit his head whilst having a tantrum and had been put to bed.
I was very concerned after this phone call and immediately attempted to contact Pat Anderson, the manager of Child safety in Cairns. This was my third attempt to contact her and voice my concern over his safety whilst in the care of Joy. None of my calls were ever returned.
I also rang Liz from Child Safety Cairns and repeated my concerns. This was the third time within a week of the fatal injuries occurring, that I informed Liz of my fears for Luke’s safety. First, at Luke’s visit the week before, and secondly, during a phone call when she informed me, two of the children were to be removed immediately so that Luke would receive proper care. The third time was during a phone call to organise a meeting with Liz and the Team Leader Jo.

This "reunification team leader" who was supposed to help me get my son back, still works for the department of child safety. So does the woman who employed her, Pat Anderson.

Please ring the department of child safety North Cairns and request an audience with Pat Anderson. I did, twice in the week before that meeting, once three days later while my son lay there dieing.
I also rang the foster home, three times while my son lay there dieing.
Jo, the "reunification team leader" who was supposed to help me get my son back, knew that my son was in a house where the foster carer was 74 years old. Jo also knew that there were three older children who had a history of being abused in that house, all home from school holidays.
I also know that Pat Anderson, the woman who is supposed to care about children and set an example for her employees, Pat Anderson knows that this 74 year old foster carer has a gambling problem and brings the foster children to the club while she gambles.
Pat Anderson also knows that this 74 year old woman has a history of abusing the foster children.
Pat Anderson alson knows that this 74 year old foster carer turns a blind eye while the older kids bully the younger ones.
The 74 year old also knew that my son had received a severe knock to the head, and left him to die.
It wasn't til six hours later, after my third phone call to the 74 year old foster carer, that she finally checked on my precious little angel, and rang an ambulance.

Pat Anderson, head of the department of child safety in North Cairns, Jo the "reunification team leader", how dare you call me a bad parent when you put my son in this position.

I rang the complaints hotline of the department of child safety in Brisbane and they were horrified when I informed them of the situation, they gave me the name of the manager of the department of child safety in Cairns, Pat Anderson.

Both of you, Pat Anderson, manager of the department of child safety in North Cairns, and Jo, team leader ot the "reunification team",

A particularly nasty senior Cns Nth DoCS worker's daughter, the receptionist at DoCS Cns Nth at the time, refused to put me through to manager Pat Anderson when I called repeatedly. All three knew what was happening and could have saved Luke's life.

While my 2 year old son was left lying with a fractured skull, bleeding on the brain, a blood clot, and his brain being starved of oxygen, I rang the head of child safety in Cairns.
They had removed him from my care and shifted him from foster home to foster home until he was returned to the 74 year old who already had 3 older children in her care. I begged them to give him back.
This was the third time in a week that I had rung Pat Anderson, the head of child safety in Cairns. Never once did she return my call. If I had contacted the mayor, or the head of police in Cairns you would surely be hearing about this.
This department is the most disgusting, callous, arrogant group of social workers this country has to endure, and they deal with our most vulnerable part of society, our children.
How do they get away with such lies, deception, malpractice and then waltz onto the next poor family which they do their best to rip apart?
Now before you write me off as another bad parent who should have looked after their child better, let me tell you that one of my supervised visits, which were only two hours a week for the last 7 months of my little baby's life, was supervised by a worker for an outside agency.
When she returned to the department of child safety after supervising my visit she begged child safety to return my child to me, and stated I was an excellent father.
They disagreed, and the decision of this "unification team" is answerable to no one. In fact when the judge in Townsville ordered that my baby stay in Townsville, the Department ignored the judge and moved Baby Luke to Cairns, where I had left my drug problem behind and moved on with my life, aquiring full time work and stable accommodation. Luke's mother was also in Townsville so why would they want to move him to Cairns. Cairns department of child safety did not want to hand Luke over to Townsville, so Cairns would say talk to Townsville and Townsville would say talk to Cairns.
This is not some car part or pet dog we are talking about, but my son that I loved more than I love life itself.
At the last visit I had with my son he had scratches on his face. While in this same foster house he had severe burns, and always had scratches or bruises. Two days later at his mother's visit he had a scratch on his penis so bad it needed medical attention. His mother begged them to get him out ot the house. Both times they told us he did it himself.
Two days after this I had a meeting which I had waited four months for. At the top of my list was to get him out of that house. I never even got a chance to bring it up. I was told I had abused my son and I should admit it. I was to stay on two hour visits and I was handed rules for visits.
I demanded an apology for accusing me of abuse and asked for proof. I was told I was raising my voice and the meeting was over. When I get angry I raise my voice, when these people get angry, they take your child. And who is there to stop them? No one. Three days later my son received the injuries to his head that would end his life. He died six days later in my arms, after I watched his brain die off and each organ shut down one by one, only his heart was beating and they turned the machines off.
Ask Caroline Overington from the Australian. She put my boys photo on the front page and spread the article across both the first and second page of the Australian. A victory for her trying to expose the injustice occurring daily in this department which is shrouded by media laws.
I lost everything I live for and I am screaming as loud as I can. Stop killing our children and wrecking families you despicable parasites of the unfortunate.

This photo was taken on my last visit with my Lukey Pookey, he died in my arms two weeks later. You can see the scratches on his face. I rang and rang trying to get him out of that house, away from that foster carer who had already been complained about over 20 times from abuse to other children. Pat Anderson, manager Cairns North DoCS wouldn't even return my calls, she knew all of this.

The coroner is yet to hand down his findings on the death of my son, Luke Borusiewicz. On a personal note, I found the proceedings to be very disappointing and little short of a complete cover up. The coroner argued that it could not make a difference to Luke's chances of survival if he was left for one hour or six hours (he was left for six hours) with a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain. He did not agree with the saying used by doctors, "The First Golden Hour", a term used to highlight the importance of giving someone with severe head injuries medical attention within the first hour.
This being said, I rang up the foster home where Luke was incarcerated twice on that day. Firstly, only minutes after he had received his fatal injury, and the again six hours later to ensure that he had been checked on as I was distraught after the 74 year old foster carer had told me "He had banged his head and gone to bed!"
She had left him there all that time and only checked on him properly when I rang the second time.
When my legal team tried to bring up the fact that she was lieing during the inquest by stating that "She did not know he had hit his head". but could not recall when she had found out about it, but told the ambulance driver that Luke had hit his head, her lies were starting to be exposed, but the judge once again cut the questioning of my legal team short.
I know when I rang the first time she told me he had hit his head, why should she lie.... Her son is a lawyer, which made the whole court errupt in laughter when she came out with this fact. I was not laughing. Tell me he didn't go over what she should say? No doubt this was the cause for her to make a "second statement;"
I am not out for revenge, it just disgusts me that a witness at the inquest into my baby's death should sit there and lie, and her lies be covered up by the judge runing the kangaroo court.
Then I had to sit through a DoCS "Expert" on foster care. This woman did not do the inquest any favours. Initially I was under the impression that the inquest was to uncover the true cause of Lukey's death.
The doctor who did the autopsy concluded it must be what they said happened, he fell off the bed and hit his head. Other witnesses were shown a picture of the bed, but not this doctor. The bed was 30 cm off the ground. I ask you how a child can have a fatal injury from falling 30 cm. This line of questioning was once again prematurely shut down by the judge.Then there is the matter of Pat Anderson, the manager of the docs office in Cairns who was responsible for the abduction and death of my son. I was made to leave the court room while she gave her evidence as she would not face me.
Back to the fairies.... The DoCS witness on foster care. This woman proceeded to tell the inquest how perfect the foster care system is, and how outstanding every foster carer is. There are bad foster carers, only bad parents. Every single foster carer does it from the love in their hearts, not for money, not because they are child molesterors. How can they improve the system when the truth is not being told.
My personal opinion is that the inquest was nothing but a cover up, an my poor little Lukey's death has been swept under the carpet by these people, as much as possible anyway. Nobody does that to my boy! and I will continue to expose the corruption and evil that falsely portrays itself as child protection.

I begged her to check on him there and then. As soon as I got off the phone I rang docs Qld complaints who told me to ring the manager of Cairns North DoCS Pat Anderson, straight away. She wouldn't answer my calls.

4. In an appeal you can present all the evidence on contact with Pat Anderson which is missing???
