Australia AUSTRALIA - 4YO AUGUST (GUS) Missing from rural family home in Outback, Yunta, South Australia, 27th Sept 2025

[MelmothTheLost]

I would normally expect a relative or family friend to be speaking out but something seems off here.

We don't know how large the families are on both the mother's and father's sides. If both are only children, so there are no aunts or uncles, there may be nobody who could speak to the media - assuming the police have not asked them not to do so. We know there is one grandparent but the others may also be out of the picture for one reason or another.

As to friends, it may well be that friends are from a similar background and situation - geographically distant and not in a position to comment on an on-the-ground situation possibly hundreds of miles away.

According to this report
both mother and grandparents were at the property when the boy went missing.

I can’t find where it is stated that the mother was at the property. Am I missing something?

Obviously, as the reporter says it clearly

So far everything I've read has only mentioned the grandmother being at the property at the time Gus went missing.
So far there's been no mention of the mother being at the property when Gus went missing.
There has been no mention of anyone apart from the grandmother.

If there is a main stream media link that says the mother was there I'd like to read it.

Is "7 News" not MSM?



Oops,
I do not live in Australia.

It is stated clearly in the 7 News Adelaide report that both of Gus' grandparents and his mother were at the property when he disappeared.
Dotta's post 613,the second vid clip - 1.22 mins into the recording.

I gave up too early - I found that it was stated by the reporter in the 2nd video. I was looking at the written “report”. So this is news. First time that the mother has been mentioned.

Seven is one of our major channels, yes.

But I especially mentioned
"2nd part of the tweet".

Ah that may be why I missed it.
Weird that the short video was the only mention of it.

I haven't seen it repeated in any written article.

I don't think it is "weird" (quoting OP).
This is the local Adelaide branch of "7News"

And...
The more local MSM,
the better informed.

I don't feel comfortable sleuthing the family.

I don't feel comfortable sleuthing the family.

It is stating the fact who was present at the property when the boy vanished.
"Not sleuthing the family."

MSM reported it.
