I had been checking the NSW Police Force fb page daily for any updates as well but just today I've noticed that their section of this case has disappeared (been deleted). I wonder what the reason for that was? I hope they discover something soon and locate William - this must be driving the poor mother to despair.
If I'm not mistaken, the 'father' of William (whether bio or foster) took part in the search every day. Others involved in the search obviously knew this. The media knew who he was, but just could not publish his name. The grandmother's address is now widely known. I think the 'mother' (bio or foster) was involved in the search too, or at least in the initial scramble to find William around the house with locals. So, it's not like they are totally incognito. Does anyone understand what the purpose of that particular level of anonymity is, where names cannot be published in msm, even if many people know who they are? It's a genuine question. What is the risk or the rationale? Is it about the name being published in print? Is it about the name getting around beyond a local area?
Do you mean the post on the 12th Sept when he went missing or something else?I had been checking the NSW Police Force fb page daily for any updates as well but just today I've noticed that their section of this case has disappeared (been deleted).

It's been stated they can't be named for legal reasons, it is not something they've opted for. The rules about certain matters are both strict and common sensical - have a read of this document, it kind of sets the tone even though it is from Vic ... http://www.fcav.org.au/images/carer-resources/information-sheets/SocialMediaInfoSheetMay14.pdf ... In which instance, William's father searching and being known to be the father in personal interactions is a very different circumstance to the media identifying family backgrounds and individuals.
It is speculation, but it fits the known facts, and it is a clear example of a legal reason for the parents, police and media's approach. Much better than calling other motivations into question.It's already been stated somewhere that 'legal reasons' can mean a few different scenarios - not necessarily foster care scenario. The MSM has given no details about foster care being involved in this case - it's pure speculation and gossip.
Thank you for this, great to know at least one media outlet is still interested.this mornings channel nine today show video

Yes, that is an interesting report. Police renewing their appeal especially to Kendall locals, whether they saw anyone of interest in the area.in the today show video the policeman says when asked if any clothing or any trace of william found, that there are a number of exhibits found at this location which they are analysing. so i wonder if he means on the grandmothers property or out on the street etc. three weeks today, so sad
