Yes, why any children but, in this case, I am asking myself, ‘Why William?’. Why would he, in particular, be the target of a network of international child abductors/traffickers? I’m not sure of the monetary value of international child trafficking ex-Australia although, in comparison with other forms of international human trafficking into Australia and, if it was able to be accomplished, I can only imagine it would be lucrative.
If William was trafficked, it would be reasonable to assume that he could have been taken outside of Australia, at least in the early days of his disappearance when there were reports of overseas Crimestoppers’ organisations being alerted by investigators. But, the focus of the investigation recently has been on the local area, with media reports and advertising nationwide rather than worldwide, which implies, to me at least, that William’s suspicious disappearance was due to the actions of a less organised, lone, local offender; rather than those of an international child trafficking network.
