You would think that the Police could have arranged a “covert operation” to remove the child and continue the surveillance….
If we think a child or young person is in immediate danger, we will move them to a safe place. (bbm)
What happens once a report is made to the Child Protection Helpline?

i wonder if removing her blew their surveillance cover or they were able to keep listening?
Thanks for your thoughtful and considered post @iiiii's
It would depend on what was revealed about the surveillance tapes at the NSWCC Hearing??? Which we will probably never know as the NSWCC is so secretive .. From what has been reported, we know the surveillance continued until that time …
I understand and agree. Things have changed a lot in the last 40-50 years of child rearing and once you have many people over 50 have died out you will probably have no objection to the current laws what so ever. I don't like doing this, but I'm going to show my true colours here. Many of us were raised in this same society many years ago, to respect our elders, to know our place as children, that adults/parents were in charge and to be obedient. This was done with fear of a smack or of being shamed and sometimes with belts and spoons. It was backed up by police and teachers and grandparents. If you complained about getting a smack sent to your room, usually other authorities reiterated "well so you bloody should, you should listen to your parents." And if kids were "mucking up" in public, people quickly recommended the parents do something about the child's behaviour, that is how strong the pressure to control your child was. And children were told, when they didn't like it, when they grew up they would be in charge and could make the decisions then, but not now. It was written about in newspapers when a child at an undesirable high school would tell a teacher to "Get *advertiser censored****!" People actively sent about 1/3 of their kids to schools that doled out strapping and caning because they believed their kids needed it to grow up to be respectful. Now they say it everywhere and worse, every day of the year. The child in this case with the same evidence 50 years ago would have been demonised for her behaviour, and the parents felt sorry for. I don't really know what my point is except all the kids from 50 years ago did grow up and are in charge of the way things are done now, are aware of the psychological, emotional damage etc. think they can raise kids in a kinder, more positive way and understand what kids need and many just can't live up to the expectations or challenges that they are faced with. And thousands upon thousands are still doing the same old behind doors that they grew up with because they are ignoring the law, the long term effects on children and because the short term results are working for them. I have always had ??'s around the FFC's involvement in WT's disappearance. I come from the same neighborhood the MFC grew up in, I know how the children act in public and what goes on behind closed doors in Killara, the FP's in age are just a few years ahead of me and whether they have done something to WT or not, I think I understand to a degree, their struggle/conflict around parenting, probably constantly triggered knowing that the instances that were similar in their childhood were probably v. easily fixed when their parents were in charge (on the surface) and resorting to old tactics when desparate. I am not trying to excuse or make it right. I just think I understand. MOO
