It would have been a very traumatic time for you. :grouphug: Your uncle tried to console you and really that is all that matters, you knew he was trying to do that, with obviously not much experience. I wonder how on earth GBC, OW, NBC (and i'll add EBC and dare I say IW?) even think to put the children in other's care apart from the family i.e. they could have taken them to EBC's place obviously she was not at the Brookfield House at the time and she, being their grandmother could have looked after them and consoled them? IMHO this family is not normal by any stretch of the imagination, I would call them dysfunctional. There were extended family members available to look after the children, their mother was missing, they would be distraught, not a time to take them to school in these particular circumstances. I wonder if there are any statements from the School Teachers etc.? Funny, just had a thought, OW believes in home schooling, so OW, you only believe in home schooling when it suits you, but you were quick to take your nieces to school on that fateful day, when you could have kept them with family, why did you do that? Strange Lot You All are and yes OW you say the the truth will be told, but obviously you are only trying to put doubt in the minds of the public by going in front of the media, because we already know the truth. Red Herring my dear? We can smell a Red Herring a mile away.
