Some additional info in the article...
A former Salvation Amy captain Michelle White, who was involved in it’s out-of-home care service, gave evidence in court today.
MW spoke to FM in October and she seemed very upset, so they arranged a meeting. (Article states October 2022, but I’d say that’s a typo, should be 2021)
FM disclosed the kicking incident, explaining she was really ashamed and did not know how MW would react.
When MW remarked that FM wasn’t coping well, she said the FM replied saying she had asked for additional support but her request was refused.
A support person who sat in on a police interview in 2021 said the child sobbed during a break and disclosed the foster father had anger management issues, a court heard.
