Very wise words by Nicole Morris the director of the Australian Missing Persons Register ( who deals with the families of missing person's everyday )
“Even if Gus if is found, his family’s life is forever changed as there is always going to be questions over why he wasn’t found, how did he wander away or what happened – even if he is found, those questions won’t be answered,” she tells.
While users on social media continue to debate and theorise about what happened to Gus, Nicole is reminding the community that their comments can compound the grief Gus’s family is feeling.
“If there was any suggestion that this was in anyway suspicious, the police would’ve made that extremely clear, and they’ve done nothing to suggest this,” she says.
“To suggest that the parents or grandparents were involved is just so awful. Not everyone who goes missing is the victim of foul play and sometimes children just wander off.”
“Over the many years of making appeals on the internet, the advice I give is if the mother of the missing person was standing in front of you, would you make your comment to her face?” Nicole tells.
“There’s a chance they may be reading the comments, so if you wouldn’t say it to her face, don’t say it at all.”
