I support the Senator in stating that obviously this is a devastating issue for the family involved and an awful trauma for them. Unfortunately I agree this appears to be a case that should be heard in the courts and it is not within our remit to deal with this very serious matter. I hope a worthwhile solution can be found for everybody involved and that there will be a successful outcome for the family in due course but unfortunately we cannot assist them.
