We delve into the complex journey of Chantel Huel, a retired gangster dealing with the Ministry of Social Services (MSS) Child and Family Services (CPS) to care for her apprehended grandchildren.

We explore Chantel's struggles in navigating the child apprehension process, adjusting her grandchildren, and the consequences that followed.

This episode provides a raw recount of Chantel's experience with child protection, becoming an advocate, and ultimately a caregiver while maintaining her hard-fought sobriety.

We also delve into how Chantel learned to 'speak the children's language,' understood their trauma, and utilized her support system including "Moms Stop The Harm" and some "Ministry Angels" to guide her path. The episode reflects on the challenges of dealing with MSS, transitioning to a prevention file, and educating herself to support her grandchildren.

An intense discussion on the modern 'residential school' system represented by group homes and the rigorous process of achieving change within the system is also presented.
