I hope they give an adequate punishment to that senior officer. I know that sort of thing happens a lot. These parents are amazing, pouring their grief into ways to save others. Their pain had to be unbearable.

As a parent and grandparent this is a nightmare no carer wants to g through. I'm amazed that anyone can negotiate it and yet be concerned that other parents can be aware and protect their children against these predatory people. This is beautifully written Wendy, blessings Roy

This is an amazing story of Health. People can take a tragedy and make it into a tryout for others. We always need to protect our children and know that they are never safe until we are very cautious. I enjoyed the story very much. Patricia.

This is such a sad story Wendy and how terrible that this poor boy was abducted and murdered by a known paedophile and that it took so long for this predator to be identified. Our children are never safe anywhere and we always need to be vigilant Wendy, a poignant write, love Dolly x

What a sad story of this child's murder. The parents have shown commendable courage in the face of their personal tragedy in their development in education regarding and safe guarding other families in regard to such predators. Your article is well written and compassionate. The author's notes provide additional useful information.

Wow. You told this tragic story of Daniels disappearance and murder in a manner that was (one) sad and (two) the reader had to know the outcome.

I give praise and power to the family as they persevered through this tragedy for the benefit of all children. Knowledge is power. And power gets things done!

Very well done, Wendy

Cheers,
John

Thank you for sharing the Morcombes' story with us. I'm sorry they had to go through this but I'm grateful for all they work they've done so this doesn't happen again.

Your description of all these parents have done positively when they might have spent years just sadly grieving their loss, is admirable. They have brought light on a problem and good out of a terrible situation.

Ugh. This one was a tough one to read. I worried evetytime my kids left the house. I realized it was unhealthy so I taught them about listening to their gut. If it doesn't feel right, get out of their. Call a parent. Call a friend's parent if you can't get a hold of one of your own. If in a store, go find a manager. Don't isolate. They get it now. They'll come home and tell me "I just felt something was off." I know it won't save them from everything, but it's a good basis. Thank you for posting this. Good on those parents for helping through this tragedy. Gretchen

    Yes, I think what you did is what has to be done. Teach them to trust their gut, and get help from someone they trust. Thank you so much for your review, and for the caring words.
