Luke died in department community services Queensland (DoCS Qld) foster care

My last words to Luke

LOOK AT ME LUKE. (He looked me straight in the eye as I continued.)
I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYONE WILL EVER LOVE YOU LUKE. I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH LUKE. I AM TRYING TO GET YOU BACK THEY JUST WONT GIVE YOU BACK.

I kissed him and tried to act happy so as not to upset him, but I was worried sick throughout the whole visit about him going back to that house, especially with the scratches on his face. When I mentioned the scratches to the visit supervisor and informed her he was always bruised and scratched, even burnt, she told me he had scratched his own face, that is what his foster carer had told her.

My suspicion is the old lady let them all abuse my little baby and turned a blind eye to it. Luke drove off in the back of the child safety car and I collapsed to the ground in front of the playground and cried and cried and cried.
I kept telling people I knew I was never going to see him again. I was standing on the shore and looking out to sea. He was in a boat drifting further and further out to see screaming "DADDY, DADDY."
I did a drawing for him but I was telling people "I know I am never going to get to give it to him."
That is how strong the bond was between me and Luke. I cried that whole week til I got the call that Luke was in intensive care.
When they finally let me in to see him, half his brain was dead because he had been left lying so long with a fractured skull. He was in a coma, on morphein, but when I said "Lukey, Daddy's here", a tear came out of his eye.
I watched over the course of six days as Luke's brain died off and he lost control of each organ. After the third day they wanted to turn off the machines as he was still not breathing on his own, and had not done since his arrival at hospital.
I went to him in his coma, and I said to him "Luke, you start breathing for Daddy, right now", and I started breathing real loud to show him I wanted him to breathe.
My little champion started to breathe for me, and kept breathing for 8 hours, til it was just too much for my little baby. He made me so proud. I stayed and slept with him in my arms each night until on the final day they turned the machines off and Luke died in my arms.
I let his mum sleep with Luke in her arms on the last night because I believe a sick child wants to be in his mothers arms, and a dying child wants to die in the arms of his father. And so began "Luke's Army"/

  • Sorry to hear of your loss, you have my full support in the campaign to expose these criminals for the abuse they have perpetrated against our sweet innocent children.

    Thanks and Peace

  • @DonaldTenn Thankyou Donald. Please join the Luke's Army site and leave some comments or the Luke's Army group on fb, thankyou once again, Michael.

  • The sad truth is that DOCS has strayed. It was designed to protect children while helping the parents get on track and in severe cases where help is not realistic place them with loving families.It is outrageous that your case resulted in the loss of your child.I do not know the facts in your case but I do know there needs to be better safety measures in foster care homes.Far to many children die in care and it is not enough to justify it with an oh well we tried.I am truly sorry for ur loss

  • This is so sad. Docs corrupted my baby also, Iam disgusted & extremely sad at how they destroy lives... THEY NEED TO BE EXPOSED FOR WHAT THEY DO TO US!!!

    So many families who deserve to have their children taken are o.k, it's the innocent ones who suffer...

    YOU ARE AMAZING!!! My heart is with you. I know exactly what they do to people, I can sympathize... I think about my child every day & I don't live due to it, I just barely exist...

    We need to speak out & have justice done...

  • @hitman748 "druggies" as you so delicatly put it. People who yes, have a substance problem, but does NOT mean they are getting beaten or raped....This country has people like Bikies and the Ibrahims who all have children but how come they are never taken away? Think a little harder before you drink the cool aid...and put down a man who's child was killed...are you really that cruel and heartless? I was raised by an alcoholic and i loved him, had a prob yep, but he was a good dad.

see all

  • @Romanotico555 NP, thanks for your support. I know what you mean about losing our rights. Please post on the site any time.

  • @LukeBorusiewicz well I was actually expressing my strong anger and my solidarity to you guys, and as I already experienced this on this site, my comments were to be approved.. to I thought it was another new censorship, as we're loosing our liberties a little bit more every day. No worries, I guess you read what I wrote, so that was the most important to me, that you received my solidarity.

  • @Romanotico555 lol, I am sorry, but to post an anonymous comment on the site, I have to approve it, or are you talking about here on youtube. There are some absolute sickos around and you would not believe some of the things that people have said not only about myself, but Luke also. I apologise for the inconvenience, Michael.

  • this site is censored, can't express my thoughts, they just don't publish my comments... screw them all!

  • Your story broke my heart - I truly wish this hadn't happened to your gorgeous son and you and your wife....OMG...just...horryfyin­g...Prob is DOCS have legal teams out the wazoo...it's up to the person to find the time, money (whilst working to fund legal bills) etc to try and get their little angels home....it's a shit fight that can't be won....I am truly sorry for the devastation our government have bought to your family and so many like you. and we pay for these agencies out of our Tax! :(
