On January 10, police were told three children in foster care in the Lake Macquarie Area near Newcastle had a number of injuries.

The children, two boys aged six and seven and a five-year-old girl, had obvious bruising on various parts of their bodies, NSW police said in a statement on Monday.

Child Abuse Squad officers later arrested the children's 47-year-old foster carer.

According to police, officers also seized more than 20 grams of cannabis, 475 grams of a white powder substance, ammunition and a firearm from the woman's home.

The children have received medical attention and are in the care of NSW Family and Community Services.

The woman was charged with a string of offences, including assault occasioning actual bodily harm and drug possession.

She was granted conditional bail to appear in Belmont Local Court on January 20.  ^{_{(Source : http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/2014/01/13/16/47/nsw-foster-carer-charged-with-abuse)}}

This makes Five Foster Carers charged in a matter of a few months. In Newcastle two Paedophile male carers have been charged with Rape of Children. 77 Year old also. And lets not forget the DoCS/FACS manager from the Hunter who repeatedly raped a nine year old girl that took home from work to live with himself and a male house mate. BTW why haven't we heard of the DoCS/FACS managers sentencing or has FACS got a gag order on it.

+4 #2 Just goes to show the level of care you get with DoCS — Guest 2014-01-14 20:19

And to think that minister goward wants to make all those foster carers be able to adopt these innocent children - and release themself from any further liability. THIS IS A BIG NO NO!

The news article says

"The children have received medical attention and are in the care of NSW Family and Community Services."

Um - weren't they already in the care of FaCS - otherwise they would not be in foster care but with their parents instead !!!

I don't get it
