Didn't the same thing happen to the BM? And yet she was treated with care on this forum.
Because, really, this whole thing stems back to when William (and his sister) was removed ... and it snowballed from there. imo
FACS is seriously overwhelmed, there are not enough carers who are willing to take in these neglected and/or abused children, drugs are rife and leading to more and more problems for the young children.
It is a very sad situation, and there doesn't seem to be a magical solution - for any of the children who are living in bad situations.
I don't think anyone wants to see the return of the days when hoards of children were placed in large institutions until they were of legal age.
SouthAussie , thank you for those words from my heart.
William case at the moment regarding the Foster Parents, I am having to step back, read it when I am able to, it is getting too painful and bring the situation so close to home.
The constantly hammering at Foster Parents(If it turns out I will be the first to public say I was in the wrong) it like IMO, we keep hitting you with charges until you admit you harmed William,
I am sorry if it sounds like this, again Adim, Trica, SillyBilly and everyone , but I can clearly see foster parents situation been in their shoes, when I was 13 years old there was an incident at school, I hit a boy, school checked it out it I was cleared, month later the mother of the boy and foster parents informed the Children Home I was removed for 24 hours for punishment, not allowed to speak, stripped of my clothes and personal item, cold shower baggy clothes, forced to stare at a wall they wanted a confession (written one) that I hit the boy for no reason. Staff hammered at me, They called me Dangerous girl who harmed Children who should be locked up for life, I was ungrateful *advertiser censored*, Sl**. Give us the confession now or you place in rebiletation section until you 18 years which we can extend until we decide you can be release, your fostor family(this is the bad I Mention before SouthAussie) I was tauted with sexual assualt by the staff member, as he done to other girls but I was too ugly. Forced to comb a carpet with a comb up to two hours, and scrubbed the industrial kitchen with a cup of water/Toothbrush from 7pm -11pm while still getting verbal taunts. I told them what happened, called Liar finally I signed the confession after 12 hours just to be at peace and go home. No I had to go for another 12 hours so I would learn my lesson to never harm children again. Later the Children home found out I was telling the truth. I punched the boy in self defence, I had called him an idot under my breath cause he wacked me in the hallway with school bag, so I was grabbed from behind, head smashed into Desk,/wall in the classroom because he was choking me I punched him witnessed by Teacher and classmates. After this incident even leaving foster family until I was 18 I was watched for any kind of anti social behaviour.
Since William's Disappearance both families have faced constant bulling etc and so have other people under police investigation totally under the microcope. IMO, there would be a lot of stress.
If people can recall the Bio Mum was charged with assult on a Police Officer in a Shopping Center, Christmas Eve I think 2020, she reported it in the Media was mental stress that caused her to go off the deep end as the Officer asked her about one of the children she had with her. Everyone was so understanding, Yet comment about the Foster Parents are in the oppisite direction. Reguarding the charges of Common Assult against the FP with the stress and COVID Lockdown ,we needs to remember how hard it was for every, I not making excuses but things can happen. I will admit(Putting Hand Up) Myself and Understanding Partner had a screaming match during COVID Lockdown in our backyard next door was shocked, but they did not call police but told us to stop it, neighbour calmed me down things were patched up between Hubby and I. But the neighbours even today were stunned at my "Interesting Expressive Words." IMOO, the Inquest wanted things to be checked out, ticks done etc and the police just went in blazing....... COVID, Lockdown came make people resentful and spiteful say etc
Due to Lockdowns due to COVID my older sibling was living in Units in NSW, he said things that he could hear through the walls of families breakdown due to stress, confinement etc my sibling was shocked yet stunned at the moment none of these families have faced court. My sibling had to talk to teenager godchild 12/13 years , she got fed up being coped up she tried to leave the home after curfew during Lockdown after an arguement as she was trying to leave her parents tried to stop there was a scuffle now she did manage to leave but my sibling saw her in the street managed to get her to come inside, she calmed down afterwards talked to her parent on phone stayed with godparents family returned. What scared her parents after that night and the girl admitted to her Godparents she had tripped going down the steps when leaving the house, got some nasty bruises. The girl was shocked that she had injured her parent. When I was told this I did think how easy it would had been for her to charge her Parents.
One of my children has Autism/ADHD very high behavoiur, it is horrible to think that if he had a serious meltdown, I tried to stop him, (by restraining him leaving burises) from dashing out onto the street or road someone from the public can accuse me of common assualt. Yet if I don't do it and my child get harmed I would come (Like other Mother with Special needs children) under investigation.
All I want from the bottom of my heart in this outcome is not justice to a wrong/ or not wrong, but to find William and bring him home. Blessing and may the light of hope shine on.
