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

If he was 13, does that mean she raped him?

Some of the stuff online is horrific. Reports stating that his father reported the mother for neglect over the state of the child's teeth. Tusla reported to him his teeth were fine and the father said it can't have been Kyran they were talking about. I'm not sure how much blame can be put on Tusla though in a reality. They may not have been familiar with Kyran by the time they intervened and the first meeting they had was with the decoy child. Incredible really. The father of the decoy child also has serious questions to answer.

Kyrans father was fighting through the courts for access and was denied access by the mother around 2 years ago. You see a pattern here. Only when the courts granted custody in August was the child reported missing.

Rhonda Byrne Tyson is the maternal grandmother. Are the other kids still in her care?

From what I read to be fair the mother and grandmother cut all ties and he had zero rights to actually see the child. He had been chasing through the courts but they are notoriously slow when it comes to a father and access to his children.

He had also made report to Tusla about his concerns.

He did though. And obviously raised concerns with the relevant authorities. A bit hard for him to see the child if he was already dead. It's just a bizarre case when it comes to the relatives. When it comes to the grandmother and the mother it's utter evil.

Always someone else to blame apart from the mother.

I understand that & i understand he couldn't be part of the boys life legally but as a father i find it baffling you could go 2 years without laying eyes on your son, No pictures . no phone calls ,no videos.

Surely you'd want to go lay eyes on him from a distance even ?

Maybe im being unfair on the dad , but i just can't see myself being able to resat at night if i hadn't seen them with my own eyes or heard anything form them for that amount time ,

Who takes the pictures? Who facilitates the phone calls?

What do you think the outcome of trying to surveil your son would be when the ex spots you hanging around? Likely reported for stalking and what happens to your case for access and custody then?

I have a friend currently going through a messy divorce. hasn't seen his child in 8 months. Now others have seen the child obviously and he is still in school .What I'm saying is it's not hard to believe that he didn't have any contact with his child for 2 years. It happens all the time in Ireland depending on the courts and the mother.

Unless and until you've encountered a situation where the mother of your child has made contact impossible? Where trying to surreptitiously contact or see your child, would mean that your legal actions to gain custody are thrown out?

Your own experience of being a parent and how you'd act are fairly pointless.

Any action the father took to gain access when he had no court order granting it would very likely have resulted in the mother pressing charges against him and that would nix any hope for access on his part. I'd also lay money that his solicitor advised to keep his distance, not to antagonise the mother and to take any and all action through the courts.

How was he to get the pictures, videos, calls if the Mother and grandmother were not allowing contact. It sounds like they completely cut the dad out and thats why he was going through the courts. He may not have even known where they were living. It seems she had moved around.

Time to stop this tangent at this stage, IMO.

Gone from rambling about a rape tangent to now wondering why Hulk Hogan wasn't hired as a Bounty Hunter to track down the child FFS.

All upsetting and hard to imagine.

I also find it difficult to believe that custody would be granted to a parent who had not seen the child in 2 years. Imagine that would be very difficult for the kid, in situations like that would they have a settling in phase? Or are the children sent to new home full time on the day.

This case will make more people aware of issues children in the country are dealing with. Hopefully Tusla can be improved as a result

Seriously though, it seems like the courts need a major overhaul too. Like even if the child was fine and now living with the father, its ridiculous that a father may not see his own child for 2 years while the courts move painfully slow.

There should have at least been supervised visitation from the very start of the process, while the case is ongoing.
