Reported missing on 30th August after not being seen for 2 days. He’s 8 years old. Why would you leave it 2 days before reporting it?

Mod - Move on from the statutory rape comments please, it's not relevant
Yes I did. I don't care about their internal review. Is ALL data available to the guards and dpp.
It really doesn't sound like it is. Legacy systems still need to be backed up.
I've a close family member who is a victim. Confidential information was leaked. A FOI request for the Access Log from the IT system revealed dozens of Tusla employees who had no business accessing the file had done so. Very distressing for the victim.
Its seems like dpp and ags dont want to charge. Tusla could be a good excuse for them.
All as imcompetent as the next one.
I'm aware of some of the systems Tusla use. One has a very intricate audit trail.
If any employee use it for gossip or curiosity, they should be sacked on the spot.
It doesn't matter what level they're at. Legacy systems are problematic and I don't believe they put much forethought into data integrity. Tech isn't a scary thing.
And yes I've seen this happen loads of times.
I dont believe that. You have a close friend who is a child?
Tesla doesn't only hold data on children you know. Maurice McCabe ring any bells???
They most definitely do!
Tusla will be dragged over hot coals on this.
Wasn't long ago they ran out of dosh and went under the hse for a while.
Spot on! No way a cyber attack could get to them.
Basic it security.
Tesla? Lol.
Relative - yes, still a child.
True. Very true.
The authorities need every bit of info.
This'll be a long case. The guards and dpp are waiting in the long grass.
No emotion. Build the case, no matter how long it takes.
I hope not!
And the child asked who had accessed their file?
Parents did. To date one Tusla employee who accessed the file has decided to "retire" - it also just so happened the employee knew person under criminal investigation re the incident. Investigations ongoing.
That's awful.
They were well within their rights to request that information. It's not just a company expectation it's a legal expectation.
Give it a rest and step away from the keyboard/bar stool, FFS.
You have no idea what is going on in the background. Statements from a number of agencies imply this is a high priority investigation.
An 8yo is missing presumed dead mate.
I’m well aware of that. And it’s being investigated. You’re going on as if the Guards and everyone else has washed their hands of it. And then pissing all over other people’s experiences as if you know it all.
I hadn’t seen any mention of a father when I posted that (and still haven’t except as claimed on here) so I had supposed he wasn’t in the picture at all. Do you have a link to that?
Yes that changes things somewhat, but it also raises the question as to how come the father wasn’t the one to raise the alarm if the child hadn’t been seen for two years. Did he have no contact at all with the child? And what judge would send a child full time to live with a parent he hadn’t seen for two years?
Tesla could be a typo but Tulsa, which I’ve heard even RTE journalists say on occasion, is worse IMO, because genuinely ignorant.
He was removed from a Dundalk school cause he was apparently going to be attending a school up the north, yet his mother was telling people he had been living in Drogheda with the granny. That doesn't make sense. Why would they drive from Drogheda to the north every day for school. Plus he wouldn't be entitled to attend a school up the north unless he had an address up there.
What is your problem with men?
He went through the court system to get full guardianship and access to his son. You don't do that if you don't care.
He also brought things of concern up with Tusla. That strikes me as a father who cares.
What was it, two days before he was getting custody, the child was reported missing?
Your problems are your own. The poor boy is probably dead and you bring your misandry views into it. Shame.
Mod edit: Poster previously warned for this post and received one day ban.
I haven’t said anything about him but I haven’t read any of what you’ve claimed either. I asked for a link but that seems harder for you to provide than to go off on an abusiverant.
There was a lot of discussion about the father, which I believe was unnecessary.
If you have no idea how difficult it is for a father to get sole custody of his son in the Irish court system, I can't help you.
The main thing is to attain justice for the poor boy and his father. That's all.
Your ulterior motives about men are insignificant. As are my thoughts.
I agree that there can be a tendency to put all violent crime down to “mental health” and that’s just as wrong as thinking mental issues are only ever an excuse.
However it’s a fact that in general women who commit violent crimes have often been the victims of violence themselves, more than violent males have.
TBC I’m not saying that all violent women are mentally ill. But it’s more often a factor than with men.
As for Sara Sharif, I realise that a stepmother can be more of a risk than a biological mother, especially when she then has her own children whom she may feel are rivals for their father’s love, but in this particular case I wonder whether there’s some blaming of the stepmother going on there. It was after all the father who beat her to death, not the stepmother. Him saying it was all at the instigation of his wife might need to be taken with a pinch of salt. She may even have been cruel and unloving in wanted her punished for minor things - but beaten to death??
So still no links backing up any of your claims.
I wasn’t denying that it’s hard to get sole custody of a child and so it should be. Including for the mother. A child needs both parents if possible.
As a rule it should be even more difficult for a parent who hasn’t even been visiting a young child for at least two years to get sole custody unless there’s an exceptionally pressing reason. Which TBF given what seems to have happened there may have been - but since I haven’t seen any reliable evidence of the father’s character and behaviour I can’t form any opinion about him, except in hindsight that he didn’t kill him. Which is a staggeringly low bar TBF.
a truly shocking story honestly. A child not seen for two years and only in August Tusla got the Gardaí involved- how the hell did it take that long?
I seen a quote from ROG (who I generally wouldn’t think much about either way) which said there’s been “very clear failings” in this case.
I mean talk about spouting the flipping obvious.
Links! You're seriously still going on about this! He didn't murder is child is a low bar!
He went through the courts to get access and you mention nothing about the mother and grandmother! It says a lot about you.
The child is all but confirmed murdered and you let your hatred of men blind you.
I shall not be replying to your disgusting messages any more.
My only hope is justice will be served and the people responsible for such a heinous crime will never see the light of day again.
Just to remind you: the father impregnated the mother when she was 15 or 16.
That sets the context for the family situation.
There's been no media mention of the mother's subsequent partner(s) that I've seen. But if I had to guess, I'd say that there is probably domestic violence in the picture somewhere.
