'It still feels like a dream and I'll wake up tomorrow and just wish it was all over. It just feels unreal at the moment.' 9News
Catherine Di Blasio had been Christmas shopping for her two kids and was waiting for them to come home when she answered the door to three detectives on Sunday afternoon.
"I finally heard the doorbell ringing around four, and I just buzzed because I thought 'oh finally. The kids are here," Ms Di Blasio said."When they walked in the first detective introduced himself as Child Protection Services and my heart just sank. I knew it wasn't going to be good news," Ms Di Blasio said.
"I still can't believe it myself. It still feels like a dream and I'll wake up tomorrow and just wish it was all over. It just feels unreal at the moment." She described her son, who loved his soccer as "very caring, very energetic, competitive with his mates."
