Missing 8yr Old Kyran Durnin - presumed dead *READ Mod Note Added to OP*

Is this the same case as the one where someone brought a child who was not theirs to a Tusla check-in meeting?

Could very well be.
Apparently the mother was giving Tulsa excuses as to why the child wasn’t present at meetings.
RTE News were reporting at lunchtime that it’s assumed the child met a violent death some months ago .

Missed several apparently

I'm editing this comment it's insensitive. Apologies

Very sad story. Puts so many things on perspective. I definitely think we all need to step off the hamster wheel in this country for a bit and reflect on where we are being taken.

not really, long term supports post breakdown are rare, met a few that have had, long term supports were poor to say the least, and in some case, non existent at all, know plenty that have worked in the sector for decades, have said its always been so….

still significant stigma regarding mental health issues, probably always will be, struggle with mental health issues myself, part and parcel with my disorders, never required psychiatric care though, thank god, supports are still poor enough for me, if you dont have sufficient money to provide your own care, you re effectively goosed!

welcome to health care ireland!

not an excuse at all, plenty of evidence globally of serious crimes, mass murders etc linked to the ineffective care of long term mental issues

the sector actually requires multiple times more that per annum, to effectively deal with the issues, probably wont ever happen though, so, more messed up stories such as, will occur in the future….
