I thought I answered the questions you posed adequately, crabby, given that I don't have access to any members' lists of GAPA's or the breakaway group's and their web presence has all but been removed. The only two people who were GAPA members and named as POIs in William's disappearance by MSM are AJ and PB. I don't know if their partners were also GAPA members. I don't know if grandparents' groups were involved in a conspiracy to kidnap William. If I knew who took William and why, he would be at home with his family and I would have $1M in my hot little hand to donate to children's and animals' protection charities.

Changing the subject, sorry.
I remember reading this ages ago and have only just come across it again.

Grandparents as Parents Again (GAPA) – North Coast
GAPA was formed by Uniting Care Burnside Hastings Family Support Centre and the Port
Macquarie Evening Branch of the Country Women’s Association of NSW. It is now a fully
independent association operating in the NSW north coast region. GAPA is dedicated to
helping grandparents and families provide a safe and loving environment in which children
can grow.
All grandparents are welcome to join GAPA. You do not need to be providing full
time care for your grandchildren.
May 13, 2014 -
Hundreds of hours of meticulous stitching by members of River City Community Quilters (RCCQ) has created a quilt that will be raffled to support
grandparents who care for their grandchildren full-time.

So did/do you actually need to have the full time care of grandchild to become a member?
Or does a fortnightly visit for example allow you to join the group?
That article now removed from the web, as you say Bo.

CS - What is this group about?
DN - The group comes about from a point of goodness ..trying to help each other. Something has gone wrong with their own kids and they have had to step in and fill the void.........................
CS- So
not grandparents that
want to be parents again
but are parents again ...
I am a little confused as to the membership requirements.
