What a wonderful family, community and church the Symes are a part of. The care, concern and offers of help have shown how good people can be. I believe the police did their best too.
However, the council knew of the problem, the danger, the risk. Reviews will identify a communication, scheduling or risk analysis problem. Which means the council will have learnings. I hate that. It sounds trite when a child's life is the consequence. Learnings makes me think that my adding extra garlic to a dish didnt work, so I wont be doing that again.
Aisling Symes isnt a vehicle for learning. She is a gorgeous little girl who wont grow up to enjoy the family, community and church who cared so much.
And it may not be politically correct for me to say but I will, I was thankful Aisling hadnt been taken, abused, murdered. We lose too many innocents by violence in NZ.
My prayers are for the Symes family and those involved in her search.
