Did they have other animals on the farm, such as pigs?
Early on there was a lot of discussion around possible animal involvement (dingos and feral pigs particularly), but that was pretty solidly ruled out. They're on the other side of the dingo fence, so there aren't many around and there was no sign of one, as well as no sign of a struggle. No signs of feral pigs in the immediate area either. And wedgetail eagles can't lift prey Gus's size (which was another popular theory for how he could just vanish with no tracks).Did they have other animals on the farm, such as pigs?
Shannon is of very similar height to Robert/Josie -- have a look at current photos. Shannons father was very tall & she has the same featureI still think the person holding baby is JM, has very long legs
Let me elaborate the above, what I meant was a FATAL snake bite. An adult may be able to survive a snake bite, but Gus is a small child, a bite could have been lethal.Might be different if you knew your SIL was not happy with his child being on the property as he had said it was dangerous and now hes been proven right ! Your thinking now SIL may insist the baby brother cant stay there anymore and you were worried you may not see your daughter and grandson again because of what has happened to Gus???? MOO
I certainly would not allow my other child to stay there (in the grandparents care) if they had already let one wander off and an official significant ground search had to made to find him!!That makes no sense, the dad would be fine with the baby staying there after his brother goes missing but would make it an issue for them over a bite, that most people around there would be very understanding of?
Honestly I think something happened that one or both of the grandparents caused, unintentionally or otherwise, that they covered up. Something that while possibly accidental would look much worse than a snake bite. If they were all that concerned about the dads reaction to a bite they all could've got help and just lied about where it happened. Anyway, i seriously doubt the dads issue with everyone staying there is because of a lack of snake safety. my opinion.
I was thinking this earlier. The father reportedly didn't think the property was safe - and to be fair, it seems he was correct - I can't believe the baby is still living there. I'd do whatever I needed to to get him away from there, even if I had to go to court.I certainly would not allow my other child to stay there (in the grandparents care) if they had already let one wander off and an official significant ground search had to made to find him!!
Where are you getting that Gus' mum and her other son are still (ie at present and even over the last few months) residing at Oak Park? I don't think this has been reported anywhere afaik. Source needed.I was thinking this earlier. The father reportedly didn't think the property was safe - and to be fair, it seems he was correct - I can't believe the baby is still living there.

Correct, this is what i was trying to convey.I was thinking this earlier.
