Nowhere Child inquest delayed to assist William’s biological parents
The inquest, which sat for a week in March, had been scheduled to resume next Monday but has been delayed until August 7, with extra sitting days in the NSW mid-north coast town of Taree added to the schedule, apparently to allow for the questioning of child sex offenders who live in the area.
The family told The Australian in an interview for Nowhere Child that they’d been advised not to bother with a lawyer “because we weren’t there when he went missing”.
“We didn’t know that we wouldn’t be able to ask any questions,” William’s nana told The Australian.
“We didn’t know that my son — William’s father — would be cross-examined without one.”
Legal Aid NSW offered to fund a lawyer, after being advised that the family didn’t have one and couldn’t afford one.
That headline makes it sound like it's their inquest
