A WHISTLEBLOWER says social workers were in touch with the Fees a day before Liam’s murder and they missed multiple chances to rescue the two-year-old.
That is the bombshell claim by a whistleblower who accuses Fife Council of missing multiple chances to rescue the two-year-old from his mother Rachel and her sadistic civil partner Nyomi.
In an exclusive interview with the Daily Record, the insider said: “I know for a fact that there was contact between the Fees and the social work on the Friday – and Liam was found dead on the Saturday.
“There have been huge faults at the social work department.”
Fife Council have launched a serious case review to examine their dealings with the family.
At the Fees’ trial, Karen Pedder, a social work manager with Fife Council social work department, said that in 2013, Liam “fell off the radar” of the council for a time.
The nursery workers, like Heather Farmer, had repeatedly noted fresh injuries on Liam.
They called social services after seeing a look of sheer terror on Liam’s face when his mother arrived to collect him one day.
Days later, Nyomi Fee stormed into the nursery in a rage and demanded to know who had informed on them.
The Fees’ abuse of Liam reached new heights in March 2014 when they failed to get him any help for a fractured leg and arm.
Rachel Fee, 31, and Nyomi Fee, 29, were convicted last week of murdering Liam by inflicting blunt force trauma on his abdomen with such force that it burst his heart. They are in jail on remand and will be given life sentences next month.
