'It has been revealed that Bill Spedding and his wife Margaret were questioned about their treatment of children by the NSW Family and Community Services department only a few days before the washing machine repairer's property was searched for two days last week by police.
However, detectives were unaware of the FACS questioning, which resulted in three young people being taken from the home, The Daily Telegraph reported.'

MSM reports that LE weren't aware of the FACS involvement leading to the removal of the grand children, so does that mean that two different bodies of authorities had non related concerns about WS?
It would make total sense for FACS involvement after the raids and WS being put in the spotlight, even if just to check on how the kids are coping or if it's appropriate for them to be exposed to it all. But why were they looking into things before the raid?
I was not sold on WS being involved at first. I thought he maybe got unlucky with a crimestoppers tip off from someone who didn't like him and that LE went in like a bull in china shop to make it look like finding WT was still a priority (since there was such a lack of action or even mention about WT in the last couple of months) ... But now that the care of his grandchildren is being questioned I think I better think it out again!

But what if the tips leading to FACS involvement AND tips to crimestoppers, were coming from the same place?
I say that because my close friend is a foster parent, and she has had 'anonymous' tips called in to police and to Childrens Services over the years, and they end up being traced back to birth families usually. I guess the thinking is that IF she gets reported for something, the kids will be returned to a birth family member instead?
Sometimes a kid will even conspire with a birth parent to try and make false accusations in order to get back to their original family. It is very sad all around. When I saw the 3 yr old Christmas tree still up in the living room, it made me wonder ? Especially if someone heard through the grapevine that BS had been out to that house in the critical time period.
