In a pre-recorded message distributed through the police, William’s mother said: “If somebody has him and if he’s alive… I want him to be safe, I want him to be feeling loved and I want someone to be looking after him.”
“Because to imagine that something else is going on… we can’t live a life like that.”
William’s parents cannot be identified for legal reasons, but the video is nonetheless heartbreaking for the two parents who are clearly traumatised by the absence of their son.
“We need to know where he is and we need to know what happened to him because we can’t live forever like this,” William’s mother begged.
“His sister can’t grow up never knowing her little brother.”
It’s now been seven gruelling months since the three-year-old William vanished from his grandmother’s front yard in Kendall NSW on September 12.
“You can’t take children, you just can’t take children,” the distressed mother pleaded.
“He’s three! He’s three-years-old. He’s only lived for three years.”
“He hasn’t even started life,” William’s father added .
“He hasn’t gone to school. He can sort of count,” William’s mother continued. “He’s reached none of those milestones that we all take for granted.”

William was last seen playing with his sister in the front yard of the house at Benaroon Drive and was wearing his favourite Spiderman suit at the time of the disappearance.
William’s mother also said that she was haunted by visions of what happened and has always suspected he was abducted and not that he had simply wandered off.
“I have a vision in my head… I can’t explain it,” she explained.
“Somebody reached over and I sort of feel like they’ve gone ‘clump’ on his shoulders and they’ve picked him up and moved him on, because to me that’s the only way I can explain for him not to be there.”
Detective Superintendent Michael Willing, who leads the homicide squad, said that anyone who has information on William’s disappearance should listen to his mother’s plea and come forward.
“They have laid bare their feelings in a heart-wrenching plea for the community’s help and are doing everything in their power to seek the safe return of their little boy,” Detective Superintendent Willing said.
