Reality Bites
This is such a mess, I don't know where to start. I vaguely remember when this happened, but it's been all quiet until the last few days.
*sigh* I think bullet points .....
- October 30, 2015: Tiahleigh Palmer, 12 is reported missing by her foster parents after being dropped off at school and never being seen again.
- Some confusion about publicly naming foster children causes a 6 day delay in police making a public statement. Tiahleigh's body is found, decomposing on a river bank, that same day.
