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

Sorry you are right, I thought the mother older

It's already been explained that this is - quite rightly - the sort of thing that schools, and if necessary social workers, can and do check up on.

Obviously. Otherwise you could murder a child and just say they've been taken to Northern Ireland to go to school and nobody would ever be any the wiser. If that's a genuine obstacle to child safeguarding, then the law needs to be changed to allow it.

Luckily that isn't the case.

Similar for the idea that nobody can possibly identify the child. It's such a silly claim it's hardly worth replying to yet again, but for example, how about asking the child's teacher to provide some work or a drawing that the child did in school and then asking the child to talk about what he did there? You could ask about names of friends etc to be completely sure. I guarantee that no child that age is practised enough in pretending to be somebody else for it not to be completely obvious with even gentle probing.

Get the teacher to provide a class photo.

There are all sorts of ways. If it were genuinely impossible due to child safeguarding laws, then there's such a problem with those laws that again, they need to be changed. But they don't. Well, not for that reason anyway. As was explained earlier.

Paul Reynolds on RTE News said the woman had been out of the country, that would be in line with the mother being in the UK? I just hope his siblings are safe

Hopefully see the end of this very sad case soon, the culprit locked up and let the young lad rest in peace.

Hopefully this savage spends the rest of her life in prison. No wishy washy blaming society and using mental health as an excuse.

Is there a mob outside the police ststion?

Agree. Whoever it was that reported him missing, but reported him last seen 2days prior needs to face some sort of consequence if they were a state employee.

There should be a gsoc equivalent for Tusla staff imo. Something where fines or some kind of discipline can be given out. When it comes to child welfare, it's not appropriate that civil service culture applies to things in there. It's simply not good enough to say "whoops" and move on.

Lessons will be learnt,

re-training, etc.

yadda, yadda, yadda.

Also, who was the boy who was presented as Kyran, and is he safe?

Can you imagine if your new partner wanted to borrow your child because they needed to pretend he was their child to a social worker? Jesus. Red flag doesn't begin to describe that situation.

I'd seriously wonder how well that child is being cared for, too, for that to be something that can happen in his life.

From watching Spotlight tonight, Dayla, her mother Rhonda and her boyfriend(father of the decoy boy) should be facing criminal prosecution. And anyone else who is complicit in the cover up.

TUSLA have questions to answer, like not having photos of who they're supposed to be interviewing. There needs to be joint up thinking on this island between State bodies, and follow-up when someone potentially claims their child has moved jurisdiction, which could be as little as a few kilometres.

Like when Dayla told the school that Kyran was attending, that he had moved up North to live with his Dad. The school should have an onus to inform authorities up North of this and TUSLA here, so they can verify this. As it stands, it seems like they just wash their hands and take things as given fact with no responsibility.

"Lets hope all agencies learn lessons" Jesus Christ...

Straight out of the public "service" playbook.

It's not one bit complex. It's murder with a state body accomplice - Tusla.

The only people who have skin left in this game are Tusla - and they'll save their own skins don't worry,

Lessons will be learned

Golden handshake,

Gilt edged pension,

Summer villa in Lanzarotte, "shhhsh, don't tell them we own it"

"Sure I'm just a poor retired civil servant on a pension"

Fkking Banana Republic doesn't even cover it...

I think any tiny lingering doubt over the identity of the woman arrested yesterday has all but been removed.

The woman, who is believed to be in her 20s, had been abroad for a period of time but was arrested in Ireland yesterday on suspicion of murder.

It is understood that she was known to Kyran and has been a person of interest in the case for some time, and that gardaí have spoken to her on a number of occasions.

It would be difficult to tell, you don’t know what, if any, rest periods she availed of.

so she has been released without charge.

Just watching the BBC NI doc, jez this story gets sadder every time you hear it.
