'The distraught parents of missing New South Wales three-year-old, William Tyrrell, have made a heart-wrenching plea for his safe return.
William disappeared from his grandmothers home on Benaroon Drive at Kendall, on the states mid-north coast, on Friday 12 September, 2014.
Homicide Squad investigators believe he was abducted and hold grave fears for his safety.
Detectives today have released a video interview with Williams parents in the hope the tearful appeal for help will attract new information in the case.
If somebody has him and if hes 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 cant live a life like that, Williams mother said.
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, she begged.
You cant take children, you just cant take children...hes three! his mother declared, Hes three years old, hes only lived for three years, its ridiculous. He hasnt gone to school, he can sort of count. Hes reached none of the milestones that we all take for granted.
The family arrived at the property just hours before his abduction. It was a surprise visit to Williams grandmothers house.
Williams mother says when he failed to respond to her calls as he played outside just metres away, she knew hed been kidnapped.
I had a vision in my head...I cant explain it. That somebody reached over and I sort of feel like theyve gone clump on his shoulders, picked him up and moved him on...because to me...thats the only way for me to explain him not to be there, she said.
Williams parents say the kidnapper or someone close to the kidnapper who might have knowledge of the crime needs to come forward and contact police.
Theyre urging anyone with information about the case to contact Crime Stoppers immediately on 1800 333 000.
Williams father also choked back tears as he remembered his son, a toddler infatuated with the Spiderman superhero.
(William loved) anything that related to Spiderman and superheroes.
William was wearing a Spiderman costume and t-shirt when he disappeared.
Hes a cheeky, vibrant little boy...full of energy. I mean hes my little boy, his father said.
He loved planes and wed even taken him to the airport and watch the planes take off and land.
His father said William is a cautious child who would never accept an approach from strangers.
