A Mother’s Worst Nightmare
My life over the last 2 months has been an almost incomprehensible mix of horror, surrealism, frustration and emotional suffering.
My 15 year old Son, Dylan James Buerckner went missing during the last week of November 2009. My Son has NOT been seen or had any contact with anyone I know since the first week in December 2009, no social workers have had contact with him since then and there is significant concern regarding his whereabouts.
My concerns were raised with ACT DHS Care and Protection Services who attempted to locate Dylan, they were unable to locate Dylan and indeed had zero contact with him. The closest they got to locating Dylan was a conversation with my 17 year old daughter Tess during the week of 23 November 2009, with her stating that herself and Dylan were at Central Station in Sydney intending on visiting their Father, Michael David Bailey.
I can confirm that both of the Children were located in Sydney and most likely visiting their father up until 3rd of December, 2009. A Centrelink social worker last had contact with Dylan during the week of 3rd December, 2009, the social worker has not had a single contact with Dylan since then.
The last location I have for Dylan is via accessing my online billing system for his mobile phone, which lists his last location as Fraser ACT on the 15th December, 2009. Dylan either no longer has his phone or it is no longer in use.
I have attempted to report Dylan missing to the Police, under the direct advice from the ACT DHS Care and Protection Services, the Police refuse to let me report him missing.
The Police insist that ACT DHS Care and Protection Services know Dylan’s location and have had contact with him. This is absolutely NOT true, I met with the head of the ACT DHS Care and Protection Services support team late this week and confirmed that they have had no contact with Dylan and do NOT know his whereabouts, in fact they cannot understand why the Police will not let me report him missing.
The treatment I have received from the Police on the numerous times I have attempted to report him missing has been horrendous, to the point where I have been in tears. In fact my last contact with a Police Officer ended with him indicating that Dylan had been missing for 2 months now and that I shouldn’t still be distressed by it.
The two weeks over the Christmas period were the absolute worst, everything shut down, no support available, sort of like a time in limbo where absolutely nothing was progressed.
I used to have a level of respect for the Police Force, my respect for them is now non-existent in fact I am absolutely disgusted with them, and sincerely hope that no Mother ever has to experience what I have experienced at the hands of a number of completely incompetent Police Officers.
In the meantime my Son is still missing!!!
It should be noted that Dylan and I have never been apart, and this is completely out of character for Dylan.
This photo is over a year old, Dylan’s hair is longer and curly (shoulder length) he is approximately 175cm tall, solid build.
Sending you some hugs.
I’m so sorry to hear all of this, and to hear how the police have been treating you. I can’t imagine how horrible this must be for you.
I hope Dylan turns up soon, safe and sound. In the meantime my thoughts are with you.
