What you are saying is essentially putting the blame on the carers of william . This is not an example of poor parenting. He was playing in the yard. You cannot halt your child's development into an adult. I have 3 sons under 10 but I know I have to let them be independent and free. Yes there is always a risk. But it's the same with driving, drugs, first loves, bullying..... This is not an issue of neglect..so why is there a conversation about parenting [emoji20]

William has certainly touched my heart, Daisy. I have a grandson who's about two(?) months older than he is. I also have four younger brothers and a sister who I used to cluck over like a little mother hen when they were young (they won't let me now nor will my kids :s)
I know DI Jubelin and all of the members of Strike Force Rosann will do their very best to find out what happened to William. I refuse to believe that he won't be found and if someone abducted him that they won't be held to account.
I hope your family friend is found soon and no harm has come to them. You must've been frantic until your Grandmother was found safe and well. However, I'm sorry for your eventual loss of someone who, no doubt, was very special to you and much loved.
I couldn't think of any more nobler reasons than yours to be a member of WS, Daisy. I understand your sadness, anger, frustration and confusion about people who harm others; particularly our most vulnerable. Let me assure you that as well as there being evil in the world, and even though we don't understand it, there's also a great amount of good - like you and our fellow WSers. That's what yin yang is about as far as I understand it; duality (i.e., feminine/masculine, dark/light, evil/good.). Equal but opposite.
Anyone who has a true passion; such as you (or DI Jubelin), needs balance. Otherwise they'll end up like one of Jack Kerouvac's 'roman candles'; spectacular while they last but eventually burnt out.

I couldn't agree more. Thank you so much for your lovely reply. I'm just a Mum and an Environmental Scientist / researcher, but I care about people, animals and the beautiful world we live in. There is a great amount of good in the world, that far outweighs the bad, but I struggle to comprehend that bad side. Most of the time though, I am an extremely positive happy, person. Yes, life balance is so important. Yes, every child is our child. Thanks for the wishes about our family friend. I sure hope no harm has come to them too. You have to try and stay positive, but as more and more time passes and the evidence mounts up, it is not looking good. I don't want to mention their name here (there's another WS forum for her). This forum is for William. I care about William too, as does every on here and all around the world. Have a good day!
I didn't read into PP 's post, any blame caste upon, nor apportioned to, William's parents.
IMO this was an expression in response to an earlier poste - that may have hit a chord - perhaps memories flooded back and the knowledge & awareness of the outcomes of 'otherwise innocent engagements' brought about a need to warn.
I am pleased and proud that this forum provided a conducive zone for the expression of those sentiments. . And I hope and pray for the 'release' of all those in our midst who in no way should be burdened in this regard. .

Beautifully said Warshawski. Maybe repressed anxiety is also at play here. I understand this as any threat(s) to our our most vulnerable; particularly our children, be it/they real or imagined, is/are terrifying. Nevertheless:
'I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.' ~ Nelson Mandela
No one but the perpetrator(s) are to blame for William's disappearance. Although it was a very rare event, that fact does not make William's absence less tragic for everyone who loves him and/or cares about his ongoing welfare; in particular his family.
We need to be kinder to one another (and I include myself in this statement). Enough evil has been, is being and, sadly, will be done. Do not allow it to separate us from each other or paralyse us. Then, it wins.
All of the quiet is making me so sad. William needs to be found. His 5th birthday is not far offAnswers soon I hope...

Life is indeed a challenge Boho, and I am so grateful for your contribution which seem so aligned to my personal thought patterns (at times, the journey gets wild)
i pray còntinually for William's salvation. We are discussing here a little boy! OMG. ... He was entitled to a life of love, safety and security. And it appeared he had that with his Foster Parents (and if by chance there is evidence to the contrary, there is an open forum here on which to anonymously post; there's a Crime Stopper report łine.. Please be honest as your feedback may mean a little boys safety.. Or not.
IMO, There is no excuse for those who executed this change to William's abode. No child should ever be exposed to the confusion and troubling emotions which would be part of such a scenario.
And I say that honestly. I am a mother. I have lost a child. I have cared for kids not born of me, I have traversed troubled & agonising steps that have been made toward the best interests of the children involved
In a heartbeat, I'll push the button on the leaching scum in our society who contribute nothing, but prey upon & strive to undermine all the decency that underpins our values, our being and our development .... yes, in a heartbeat!

What "change of abode" are you referring to? William going into foster care?
