I’m somewhat confused because on one hand they call themselves, “we, the family” and then it appears that perhaps they aren’t the family. If not family then we can’t discuss it here. Interesting tho.
I think there is a lot happening that we don't know about.
Though it is a city there are a number of forrested areas in the area he went missing. If he had been out overnight he may have found a secluded area in the woods to stay. I had hoped there would have been a large group of experienced hikers to search these areas.
Also slightly confused but my take on the post was to ask people not to search the trailer as opposed to suggesting Nathan may be living there now. There are supposed to be neighbours on alert should he return to the trailer park.
I wonder why the immediate family doesn't want the investigation to continue. You would think they would want him found either alive or not.
And this is also MY dilemma. Who are Nathan's guardians? I'm afraid to post more here in case I break the rules.
Exactly. I am to the understanding (and could be completely wrong), but a person eligible for services which Nathan would need and be entitled to (special care, medication, benefits) would need to be applied for. Surely someone has done this in all his years? Those same people would need to prove they are applying on his behalf as legal custodians/guardians. Wouldn't he have a social worker? Or a doctor who could attest to his special needs? Wouldn't these legal custodians/guardians be legally responsible for his care/safety? If he had parents who had done this or not, and they passed away, wouldn't he become the ward of the court/state? If no one was willing to step up and apply for legal guardianship, then the courts would appoint someone. Maybe the family have notified the courts and this is in the process for the guardians' office to appoint, and how do you proceed if you don't' have a client?? Any Ontario lawyers out there from the Public Trustee's office that can explain the rules???
My understanding is that Nathan moved to Toronto to live with a relative upon the death of his surviving parent. They have chosen to not engage the public IMHO there is nothing suspicious.
Nothing suspicious denoted, only curiosity of the brain, regarding how Public Trustee office awards guardianship if client is missing, and secondly why guardian isn’t encouraging further searches, and lastly no LE updates. There certainly appears to be some family or friend estrangement, but that shouldn’t impinge the search for Nathan. His legal representative should be speaking up for him, thus the query as to if he has one. All just IMO, maybe I’ve missed LE update?
I respectfully disagree, a legal guardian is important for mentally challenged individuals but agree with the rest. People forget quickly, cases go stale/cold fast, and LE resources are few and far between.
I personally think who is in charge of his affairs is important, if it is the OPGT, it is a very busy govt office. His disappearance should all be investigated and extended and all leads should be pursued to try and find this young man imo.
And where/what/ who is any fund raising going to? I saw ODSP mentioned , was that speculation or fact? I always cringe when money gets mentioned, my apologies
