 Just where you want us? I think I know what you're talking about. Thanks very much. Just a little bit more. Yeah, I'll... Obviously yesterday's announcement of arrest was, and a person being charged was a significant step, and, you know, it's a very difficult place Denise and I and the family find ourselves in, which is somewhere that we've worked hard over seven years and eight months to be in, and yet when you're there, it's a place you don't want to be. So, you know, it's an extremely difficult time and last night was not pleasant at all, but, you know, we're really indebted to the police that have worked extremely hard over the course of the journey to ensure that we are where we are today, which is a man who has been charged. And, you know, we're just obviously with the matter before the courts. Denise and I and other family members are very limited in what we can say. The last thing we want to do is prejudice any legal matters ahead of us. How do you cope with the fact that you have seen this person that has been charged before or even just visualised? Yeah, look, we don't want to make too much comment about you know, it's not really about us and what we thought. We're just really pleased where we are and we'll let the legal process take its course and go from there. But, you know, there's still a lot of work to do and, you know, we are aware that it may still be a couple of years or even longer before, you know, this matter has fully been run out. You put a lot of faith into the interest of the oldest dreams, could you? Well, you're always hopeful, you know. Every day we get up, we were thinking today's the day we find the answer and certainly as we worked towards the coronial process, you know, that was an extremely difficult time, but we got up knowing that that had a purpose and without any shadow of doubt that was perhaps crucial in getting where we are today. The review process that enabled somebody to become even more in the spotlight and, you know, there's been an enormous amount of work in the four months since that person gave evidence and I'm sure that'll be evident as this goes to trial down the track. Did you talk about closure? Did it really bring closure? No, closure's not a word that we're very comfortable with and please consider that a man's been charged. Our priority as parents of Daniel is to find Daniel and that's what we're driven to do and we're reassured that the police service is very much hard-nosed in finding Daniel and returning his remains to the family, so. That means to turn it as you have to do that? Absolutely. Do your children have children? Yeah, absolutely. The police have had open communication with us for many, many years and, you know, this has not been an easy process and I think we can all appreciate that the amount of information that's come forward from the public has been extremely helpful but sadly some of that some of those criminal elements have thought it a notoriety or to confuse the police. You know, but at the end of the day they've hampered the investigation which, you know, has been extremely upsetting to the family. What sort of support are you getting through this as you do at this difficult time? Oh, look, the public are absolutely extraordinary. You know, the amount of media interest is quite unbelievable really and, you know, it's right around the country full front page ads and live crosses on TV and, you know, we're really appreciative of the work of the police but also the media for keeping this in the public area and no doubt the public have been really strong in coming forward with any information they've got and, you know, we've never given up hope. We've always said today is the day we find that information and truly little did we know that yesterday was the day that we got up that we did find some information but we still have a long way to go and really our focus is not so much on the man that's been charged. We'll let the legal process run that course and really, you know, we're observers in that. You know, there's not a lot we can do. What we want to do is find Danny. In the preceding days. No, it actually came as quite a shock yesterday afternoon and, you know, we'd had some communication about Assistant Commissioner Condon wanting to meet us throughout the day but we had no idea that that was a notification of an arrest. We just thought it was an ongoing communication as we've had over the months and preceding years. I like to think it's been a team effort. You know, we've certainly put ourselves out there and made ourselves available and we've said right from day one the person that's responsible picked on the wrong family and we said we'll never give up and well we're true to our word but also the media have been terrific. They've never given up and of course the police have never given up and, you know, we could say that this was the case that he personally wanted solved before he retired and anyway I think we're a long way to that fruition, so Can you keep the foundation going? Certainly in just three weeks time it's Child Protection Week and certainly in three weeks time it's Child Protection Week right around Australia and one of the high priority aims of the foundation is that we educate other children on how to be safe and to how to keep themselves safe and how to remove themselves from danger and we'd organised a trip from Brisbane to Cairns to talk to some 20 different schools on how those children can pick up those safety message that'll give them the life skills to keep safe and we still plan to continue that trip and so, you know, Daniel's legacy will be that many, many other kids will be safe from predators and, you know, that is something positive that will come out of this very sad affair. What are your plans for tomorrow? We'll we'll just discuss that privately but we have already seen the person that's charged so I'm not sure there's necessarily anything really to gain from that other than it being extremely upsetting to us and extending that pain so, you know, we know who it is, we know what he looks like we've already given him the glare and, you know, I'm not sure we can do much more Are you going to go to the search area? Have you made a decision whether you will go or visit the search area at the moment? There are discussions at the minute and police are assisting us with information on that search area and, you know, they'll certainly provide some vision of that to us later today and if we're up to it, no doubt we'll pop out there but, you know, they certainly haven't found, as I understand, any of Danny's remains or anything significant so we'll just hope and pray that you know, that it does become significant in that area How are the boys? Look, the boys are extremely quiet and they certainly haven't said a lot we just hope that they put some of the events of the last couple of days behind them but it does bring, you know, almost eight years of thoughts and discussions and theories to the forefront and, you know, that's what we've gone through is all those stories you know, some have been correct and many have not been but, you know, I'm sure they're weighing up all the difficult times as well No, I see the foundation's work as a positive thing and look, the community have supported us enormously over the journey this is our way of saying thank you and it's just something the family want to do to make sure that other kids never find themselves in any situation and we appreciate that abduction is extremely rare but, you know, unfortunately child abuse is not and, you know, if we can encourage children that have been abused in the past and are still being abused to come forward, notify police or the kids' helpline or a trusted adult we think we're doing the right thing by Daniel and, you know, that's what he'll be remembered by as making a difference Look, I think if we just try and keep it simple it's just to be observant and adults to be observant and if they see anything that's suspicious or they feel is wrong then to follow up on that hunch so if it's a child tell somebody that will be in a position to help them so their parent a friend's parent maybe the police, kids' helpline someone that can do something to follow that up maybe a suspicious vehicle suspicious person, activity internet activity on their Facebook whatever it is, if they don't like it they feel it's wrong, tell somebody and obviously those people you know, will be dealt with by the authorities I'm not real sure to be honest we just do what we think is right I suppose and it was right to come out here today and thank the media, the community and the police and that's why we're here because without those vital ingredients you know, we would never have been in a position to solve the case and it's been all those links in the chain that have helped us get to where we are today and you know, as I say we've still got a long way to go with any luck you know, we'll march towards a guilty verdict from here no, we've always been positive in our thoughts that we're going to find the answer and of course we're only halfway there and we're still looking for Daniel and that's the personal focus for us is to see if we can find Daniel Denise, there's been amazing support on this Sunshine case, is there anything you'd like to say just in relation to the response over the years? Thanks to everybody who supported us, the foundation and our family Your pre-passion about seeing the foundation go on, would you like to see the government start to step in and provide some funds to help with the health care We need it The foundation has really survived on community donations and to get some recognition beyond that at a government or a corporate level will be extremely helpful and while I've identified Child Protection Week is only three weeks away we of course have the 28th of October being Day for Daniel which we we tag as our day of action where we want children to leave home in the morning with a safety message incorporated in the school day so that when they return home at three o'clock or four o'clock they are safer with additional tools to use to keep safe at the end of that day So certainly September, October is an enormous couple of months for the foundation's work and we just hope that the exposure of the events over the last 48 hours will make Child Protection Week even more significant and obviously that will be driven home with the Day for Daniel on the 28th of October being really significant and if anybody wants further information just jump on the Daniel Walkham website It's an incredible amount of anger on social networking sites I think it's really important that the people's judgement needs to be very much measured and we've tried to be examples of that where the human nature is to perhaps be a little angry but you've just got to ask yourself, is that being helpful or is that a distraction and look at the end of the day we want the right person to have a guilty verdict and we want to find Daniel and that's why we are always cautious and measured and trying to the right thing to make sure that we're heading forward and not being a nuisance or look at the end of the day to stuff it up
