A recent anonymous editor removed a paragraph from the Bobby Kelly section on the grounds that there was not enough corroborating evidence to suggest that David Whitehouse informed Graham Baldwin after his suspicions were raised during a visit from Bobby and the Jesus Christians.

Evidence of David's suspicion: The quote from David "The group has a veneer of respectability but there is something very disturbing about them. When I saw Bobby a week ago he was with three of them and he seemed very scared, which was unlike him."

The evidence that it was "possible" that David was the person who raised the alarm is from Graham Baldwin's quote: "someone close to the family who suspected that something was wrong and did something to try to save him"

The person was not a family member but was close to the family. The person was suspicious that something was wrong. Considering Bobby is reported in the article as meeting with David Whitehouse and his grandmother, I propose it is reasonable to state from the evidence that there is a possibility that David Whitehouse is the person who contacted Graham Baldwin. I think the whole story adds the detail of how the scandal unfolded.

Here is the section that was removed, that I would like to return to the article:

''It is possible it had been David Whitehouse who "suspected that something was wrong and did something to try to save him" by contacting the anti cult expert, Graham Baldwin, sometime before July 14. Baldwin, who was working with a charity, Catalyst, which helps families of people caught up in cults, was reportedly contacted by "someone close to the family who suspected that something was wrong and did something to try to save him". A solicitor who "specialises in cases against cults" was hired after legal aid was acquired and the solicitor succeeded in getting an emergency High Court action to try to "rescue the schoolboy". The front page newspaper report in The Express was published two weeks after Bobby first met the Jesus Christians with the story that Bobby had "disappeared" after he met the group: "Within hours Bobby had forsaken his possessions and moved in with the group.  The police were called and the airports and docks were put on the highest alert." After The Express broke the story, instead of handing the boy over to the police, the Jesus Christians with Bobby "in tow" panicked went "on the run". The UK Jesus Christians became fugitives for two weeks.''
