Do any of you know if there are any other cases like William's of a child in foster care that disappeared while in care? For comparison.
Not unless the child is known to be dead or if that conclusion has been reached by a coronial inquiry. Until it is confirmed that a child has passed away in the foster system, we do no get to hear about that child going missing.Do any of you know if there are any other cases like William's of a child in foster care that disappeared while in care?

It seems obvious that the bios did not want their children fostered/adopted or the equivalent. It also seems obvious that the FP's wanted to raise the children to adulthood. Both are cleared and yet before opportunistic abduction it is difficult to pass up this conflict as a motive for WT's disappearance. A number of the POI's who have come to our attention besides being CSO's are also involved in grandparent kinship care. And a credible link may have been found back to WT's bio grandmother through these people. It seems no sign of life has been found of WT since his disappearance, hence the idea that he may be deceased, but there may be hope. I still think this abduction was planned and targeted. IMO

I agree that parental abduction must have been very high on the list, especially with the bio parents attitude toward their children being fostered and taking off with William once before. But Brendan is tearing his hair out, digging up forest looking for William, Karlie is sobbing and sobbing wondering where her son may be, the foster parents are choking up and completely bereft about the loss of William.
Who else could have him? Who else would even care so deeply about the whole situation? Who else could keep William under wraps for 4 years and not be discovered or squealed on? And why? When none of the parents can get near William, likely cannot even communicate by skype or anything else, due to covert and overt operations.
Do you think that someone took William for Karlie/Brendan, then disposed of him when it blew up to be a massively huge case with big repercussions?
Yeah, I think it's possible someone might have done it on their behalf, not even telling them till they could think of a way to be reunited, but WT might be stuck somewhere, the decision to hand him on might not be in the person who organised its hands and they may have even been threatened with harm to WT if they go to the police about it, very messy, can't move while they are being watched. Or the situation has become too hot for people to handle and they have disposed of him. It might have even been a way to make the FP look like neglectful parents in the short term but spiralled into something much bigger as the situation developed. IMO
red = ^^ This.A sole parental responsibility order is a long term order intended to last until the child or young person is 18, and is aimed at increasing their sense of stability. The order requires the consent of the birth parents and the child or young person if they are over 12.
I will put it to bed, but want to say, that the DV-issues seemed to be a problem of them both being aggressive and rough, not only BC. So, a separation only wouldn't help. IMOYes, the drug and DV issues.
Did he seek help prior to 2018? Did KT leave him prior to Williams disappearance?
According to her Sunday night interview - No.
My initial comment was about them loving their children enough to change their lifestyle. It didn't happen.
Can we please put this to bed, I don't particularly like what they have done to lose their children, but I don't think we need to keep rehashing their problems.
I understandIf WT and his sister had not been under the care of the minister at the time of disappearance and with no leads in the 1st week, I believe that the carers and the carer's mother and the bio parents would have been in front of every camera doing a police press conference appealing for WT's whereabouts and return and that it could have gathered vital information for the investigation. IMO
Of course, little L. should have been. But wasn't it enough, not to name her in the newspapers and not to show a pic of her? Is that well-meaning "protection", that this very young girl after the abduction has to lie about or rather to deny having a little brother, who got lost?You don't think she should be protected?

I think, without the mannny secrets the investigators possibly would have gotten calls with more or different concrete hints.
I am guessing that these posts about foster parent disclosure are having a whinge about FACS rules.
I am also guessing that people here realise that there is nothing the police or the foster parents can do about those rules.
It seems they even had to get permission to publish any photos of William.
And the judge in the caselaw about William being a foster child did not circumvent those rules either ... again, likely due to the fact that William's sister is still in foster care. imo
Talk to your caseworker about any request to publish or broadcast photographs, video footage or anything else that identifies a child or young person as being in care, including publishing the names of their parents.
Consent to publish or broadcast personally identifying information must also be sought if the child or young person has passed away.
In all situations, consider the safety, welfare and wellbeing of the child or young person’s needs first. Don’t give out information that discloses their whereabouts if this information is protected. There is a risk that the publication or broadcast of identifying information may alert inappropriate people to the location of the child or young person. If you’re in any doubt, talk to your caseworker.

So if it's all about protecting the sister 100% then why haven't they moved or have her placed with different carers so her whereabouts aren't known to the public.
