30.09.2011 - The infant went missing from the Maternity Hospital in April 2002 and it has now emerged that her own mother arranged for her to be spirited away due to fears that she would be taken by social services due to the parents’ drug problems, which had already seen them lose the custody of their other children.
The discovery of her whereabouts was only made after the authorities received a complaint from a concerned neighbour that a nine-year-old girl was not attending school. Subsequent inquiries showed that neither the girl nor her younger brother had been registered at birth or enrolled in a school or for health care. The discovery, including the mother’s confession as to how she managed to have the baby disappear from the hospital on the day she was born, has led many to ask how the children could have escaped the notice of the authorities for so long.
Media reports say the children were regularly sent to live with relatives to avoid detection given that her mother was always suspected by police of being behind the disappearance.
