Most children - especially girls who are, in my experience, easier to TT (toilet train) than boys - are fully TT by 4.
However, children with special needs can take longer. Not saying I think that's the case with Angel, but it's not impossible?
Her clothing tells me she was loved and cared for by SOMEONE.
Not sure why you would allege the Baby Bonus is irrelevant to this case as Wynarka Baby was born during the height of the Baby Bonus? Also SAPOL have just TOLD us that's where they're searching?
I didn't allege the BB was irrelevant to this case. I said it was in full force at the likely time Angel was born. I said your post made it sound like new parents are still making out like bandits with an easy 5k from the government. I just wanted to clarify it's not the case anymore.
Also, even if it's statistically likely that this child is on a DB somewhere, and she most likely is, it's not impossible that she's not. Leave no stone unturned... make no assumptions, etc.
Near where my parents live is a community that live entirely off the grid. Nope - no sneaky centrelink payments. They don't have bank accounts AFAIK. They don't use electricity or town water. They're full-scale, 1970s-style commune hippies. They don't even need to go into town much and when they do they barter or pay cash. They're all older people, there's nobody under about 55 there I don't think, but if they were of the breeding age it would be likely they'd not register the child or take it to a hospital even for the birth. Is it likely Angel came from such a group? Nope. But it's not
impossible. If I know of a group like that, there must be plenty more out there.
(PS I also had a friend whose ex-bf wanted to go off-grid like this because he was 'ethically opposed' to government tracking. Wanted to move to the sticks, let his license expire, close his bank account, etc etc ... he was a relatively normal person who happened to have some conspiracy-theory kind of thoughts I guess. He never did it, but I think that's the kind of thinking that inspires such a move.)
