That’s how I understood it as well. Parents left him with suspects partner and he took Dean when the partner threw him out. I don’t know why she wouldn’t call police right away as he wasn’t supposed to take off with the child.From the article above it seems that Dave was a partner of mom’s friend. Maybe they didn’t know him very well? . All my friends and family in the Netherlands are on a lookout for him and a car . Let’s hope the message spreads into neighbouring countries and people call in.
What were they arguing about?Moeder van ontvoerde Dean (4) smeekt: “Laat mijn zoon op een veilige plek achter, dat is het enige wat ik vraag”

Mother of kidnapped Dean (4) pleads: "Leave my son in a safe place, that's all I ask")

“Dean had minor surgery on Tuesday, and I took care of him at home all night on Tuesday,” says mother EV. For medical reasons, she was unable to pay attention to her son on Wednesday. She arranged for Dean to spend one night with one of her friends in Sint-Gillis-Waas: friend R. and her partner Dave De Kock.

Sometime during that week, Dave De Kock and his girlfriend had gotten into an argument. She had put him at the door: "Leave!" “He left Friday night, and he took Dean with him,” the mother says. Why he did that is unclear. The girlfriend did not dare to tell the mother that.
On Saturday, the mother went to the police. She still had De Kock on the phone at 2.30 pm on Saturday: “He claimed that he was in Hasselt, but that he had a flat tire and that a tow truck was on the way. That all turned out to be a lie.”

Yea, I wonder who the kids have been staying with M-F since her hospitalization in November. That arrangement is sort of interesting...i have not heard of a psychiatric stay where you get "weekends off". Typically here in Canada, if you are considered at risk enough to be in psych for months, they would prefer to monitor you continuously. I wonder if there was a translation error? Is this more of a rehab scenario or does the Dutch system just work differently?So it sounds like Dave and his gf watched Dean regularly. Maybe it didn't seem odd that Dave took Dean when he left. And now we know why the mother didn't call LE until Saturday. She was in the hospital and the friend didn't tell her Dave had left with Dean when it happened.
Is there a Daddy in Dean's life?
Woh! Can you find the color of eyes for the man in the 2008 photo?Yea, I wonder who the kids have been staying with M-F since her hospitalization in November.

by the way, here is an article with a picture of the convicted Dutch man, David De Kock, in 2008. Uh...make of this comparison what you will. Looks pretty similar to me (albeit older), but this was the only pic of convicted DDK I could find. But surely if the suspect in this kidnapping was a convicted child beater released from jail recently, media would be mentioning this?

But then wouldn't her mother have known Dean was gone on Thursday?RSBM
“Zet hem aan de deur en rij dan weg”: moeder doet emotionele oproep om vermiste jongen (4) naar huis te brengen - 112Vandaag
Every Wednesday they took care of my two children, so that my own mother could be relieved.
Mom explains in the article that she spoke with Dave Thursday. He made arrangements with her mom (Dean's granny) to keep him another day. So, the timeline:But then wouldn't her mother have known Dean was gone on Thursday?
I would love to know if mom was able to speak with Dean on Saturday. ie was he with Dave or is Dave on the run alone now?Mom explains in the article that she spoke with Dave Thursday. He made arrangements with her mom (Dean's granny) to keep him another day. So, the timeline:
Tuesday - Dean has surgery. Mom was home w/him.
Wednesday - Mom returns to hospital. David drives her & Dean. Takes Dean w/him afterwards.
Thursday - Mom speaks to Dave. He claimed to have arranged w/grandma to keep Dean another day.
Friday - Dave argued w/ girlfriend then left. Dave said he was going w/Dean to Dave's grandparents in Antwerp. Never went.
Saturday - Mom texted w/Dave. He said car was broken down somewhere in Hassel & was waiting for tow truck. Haven't heard from him since.
Sunday - Mom called police to report Dean/Dave missing.
Oh no I hope it ends differently so sadHe has been arrested, Dean was not with him
