THE PAIN OF MISSING TODDLER WILLIAM TYRRELL'S PARENTS

MOTHER

"If somebody has him and 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."

"Just give him back ... give him back. Take him to a church, take him to a police station, take him to a school. Give him to someone ... give him back."

"I had a vision in my head ... I can't explain it. That somebody reached over and I sort of feel like they've gone `clump' on his shoulders, picked him up and moved him on ... because to me ... that's the only way for me to explain him not to be there."

"It's the never-ending nightmare. We wake up, we just relive it. I just can't believe it has happened."

"We have to watch his sister learn to play and learn to be an only child: it's heartbreaking."

FATHER

"As I was walking through the bush with other people, it became more aware to me as time went on that this is not a normal event this is not a child gone missing in the bush. This is heading down the path of abduction or something more sinister."

"He's a cheeky, vibrant little boy ... full of energy."
