Sorry I had some bother posting it and I'm not sure it will stay up for long.

Thanks for the welcome. I have been a member for a while, just never had anything to add.



Im in awe of you guys and the delicate and respectful ways you always handle things
 
There is a daily mail article about a 56 year old Logan man who's wife had a daycare centre and he was charged with abusing two sisters. In may just before she closed it down.

I'm not sure the link can be posted. I haven't been here long enough to know what's kosher and what's not. Look at the time line.

But you are on the money.
I think the Daily Mail UK site gets away with printing some stuff that the Australian media is not allowed to report.... That's got to be him, surely. Yes, you can post the link :)
 
Man allegedly raped girl at day-care

A NEW Zealand national trusted to protect and care for children at a family day care has been charged with the rape of an 11-year-old girl and the attempted rape of her four-year-old sister.

Details of the charges against the 56-year-old from the Logan area, south of Brisbane, were revealed when he was released on bail by Supreme Court Justice John Bond.

Police allege the man raped the girl and tried to rape her sister while they were being cared for at his home between July last year and April 28.

The man, whose wife operates the in-home daycare, has been charged with nine counts related to child molestation and rape.

He allegedly told both girls “don’t tell anyone”.

In his objection to bail affidavit, senior constable Amarjeet Kumar told the court the man “was acting as a carer for these vulnerable children” when the alleged attacks took place.

“He was well trusted by the victims’ family to protect and look after these children,” Constable Kumar said.

“He was in a position of authority.... the children felt helpless and defenceless to protect themselves and protest against these abuses,” Constable Kumar said.

Police allege the man raped the 11-year-old on the couch of his home, and showed her pornographic videos on his iPhone while driving her to school.

He allegedly asked her to perform sex acts on him which she refused.

The girl’s four-year-old sister told police she performed a sex act on him in the lounge room after the man showed her how.

The 11-year-old told police she witnessed this.

The man was charged on May 4, six days after the claims were reported to police, and he denied any involvement in child molestation.

The court was told the victims’ mother fears the man, and is worried he will contact her and ask for the charges to be dropped.

The man warned the 11-year-old “against telling anyone” and she appeared very fearful of him, the court was told.

Justice Bond banned the man from contacting the family as a condition of his release on bail.

The court was told he had a “blue card” clearing him to work with children but he was not a “licensed worker in the business”.

The man’s wife has shut down her daycare centre and told the court she was “taking steps” to inform authorities.

He is due in Beenleigh Magistrates Court on June 30.

It says "New Zealand National" is Thorburn a "New Zealand National"?
 
How many in-home daycares would have shut down in April this year due to an incident? Not many. Probably one.

Someone posted the link on one of the watched fb pages and it was removed. So that gives more credence.

Now if you smart cookies can see of they were from NZ that would be interesting.

Edit:You are all too fast for me
 
That's why the CCC are investigating him already. In light of this, how is it he wasn't arrested for Tia's murder before now?

My thoughts exactly about the CCC. And his whole family lied for him!

hmm, this article http://www.news.com.au/national/breaking-news/foster-care-qld-has-stringent-checks/news-story/fe018a4685c1ee3645b14fa42034f8c0States the Thornburns family daycare was shut down..or approvals revoked in April when Police alerted government to alledged criminal activity. It sounds like it may be the same 56 yr old mentioned above on other charges..I have to think it wasn't just the son molesting Tiahleigh. This case is just so sad..devastating. that someone put in such a position of trust to ensure the safety of a vunerable child could do this...I think there is a whole lot more to come out on this. And poor Tiahleigh did not have a chance in this world...so very sad.

(it has been a long time since I have posted on here..though check in from time to time..I could not help but comment on this one, though its hard to put into words the horror of it)

Sorry, I obviously forgot how to provide the link properly!!

Wow. This is going. To. Be. Huge.

Im not surprised he tried to take the easy way out. His life isn't going to be worth living.
