Addressing media in Queensland, she said restrictions on carers and parents when a foster child went missing were actually making them targets for predators.
They can target these particular kids because they are far more vulnerable than any other and response to their disappearance is less than adequate, she said.
If someone stole your child youd be all over the place in 30 seconds and youd be allowed to by law but these parents, these families and these foster carers cant and these offenders know that. Make no mistake.
Weve got to change it.
The same restrictions drew criticism in the case of missing NSW boy William Tyrrell, whose parents had been unable to speak publicly about their sons disappearance for seven months, and who still cannot be identified while the search for the boy in the Spiderman suit continues.
The father of murdered Queensland teenager Daniel Morcombe was one of many who publicly criticised the gag, which may have denied William the best chance of being found.
