Thanks gibsy, I appreciate it. Already in the process of doing all that. Apparently my org is trying to put the responsibility for my stuff onto child protection and their placement coordination unit for moving him in, since they said he wasn’t a good match. I don’t really give a shit who pays for it, as long as somebody does and in a reasonable timeframe. But tbh, my org has the ability to refuse referrals, the pathetic sponge of a man running the show was just too scared to say “no” to PCU and accepted the referral anyway.
I told them I don’t feel comfortable here on my own, they’ve said they’ll ask for supports. But I’m going to raise hell if they refuse. Completely agree with what you’ve written - they’ve screwed up not just once, but about a dozen times in a row. They’ve had so many opportunities to prevent this, but they kept making bad decision after bad decision and now I’m paying for it.
From everything you’ve written since I’ve been here, these people are happy to abdicate responsibility at the drop of a hat. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, and considering everything that’s happened ie: you having to live in a hotel, what this moron has done to your stuff and the house, it’s a very reasonable request to not only have everything replaced, but to have either a couple of workers, or in the least they could hire a security guard of some description.
I haven’t been through what you have, but I know how shitty government beuracracy can treat you when you’re young. How your needs can be ignored repeatedly.
They don’t get to get away with the incompetence that has led to these circumstances. Fuck all that.
That aside, I have to say, if I was in your shoes, at your age, I wouldn’t be handling this half as well as you are. I really mean that.
Good on you for keeping a level head and being systematic in how you’re going to resolve this!
I’m really fucking sorry for what’s happened mate. I really am.
What an absolute piece of fucking shit.
This is also on the people running the house. Speak to your worker about being reimbursed for what’s been destroyed.
It’s their responsibility to provide a safe place for you and your stuff.
Don’t let them off the hook.
And I would be demanding someone stay at the house with you for the next few weeks at minimum. Your safety is their responsibility.

Good on you for standing up for yourself!
