Or even play in their own back yard or shallow pool in the yard without being snatched away by some nutter and never seen again. Has happened in the USA. Again it's not the parents fault. Sociopaths blame everyone else for their own bad behaviour. An unlocked car or house? It's their fault not mine that I broke in. An unattended child. It's their fault not mine. An unattended phone or wallet on a bar bench or table? Their fault again for being careless. They have no empathy, remorse, ethics or guilt whatsoever. Longer prison sentences might help. I really don't know how to fix someone like that who is broken.

[@rae-raehmmm2135]

I survived a triple murder. I was just 9yrs old. My Aunt, who sadly lost her life, saved mine by putting me in a cupboard. My two cousins lost their lives the same way as my Aunt. The justice system really shouldn’t be all that! The man who took my Aunt & two cousins lives was sentenced to just 15yrs, he served half that got out on “good behaviour.” My family chose to forgive him, I didn’t .. no way. He went on to murder an innocent 12yr old boy. If the system had worked then each of family members lives would have mattered, so life for each of them. That poor would never have been murdered. Ebony’s mum is correct, nobody truly understands unless you’ve been affected by it. The pain stains your soul, your life forever. I’m forever changed by what I witnessed. I pray for a better system.

[@ruderoboticsanonymous8306]

People saying who lets a 9 year old walk home. 1. It was from the bus stop, not school. 2. In the 90s it was completely normal to walk to school alone anyway. Everyone did it. Those days people were innocent, it was even normal to leave your door unlocked and to let the kids play outside with other kids as long as they were back home by sundown and dinner. Those times were very different and innocent. 3. Blame the guy, not the poor Mother. Ebony had just got off the bus and didn’t have far to walk to home… and kids SHOULD be able to do that without the worry of being unalived. M This story breaks my heart.

[@TheTrueCrimeChannel]

100% - she should of been able to walk home safely

[@sarahfranssen]

Yes I think in both the Australian and New Zealand culture, it was very normal for kids to walk, bus or bike to school. I did through all my years at school. Mind you it was 70’s & 80’s. Even being dropped off at the beach and left with siblings for a few hours was quite normal

[@LibbySlaughter101]

Yes, we used to walk to & from school & nothing was heard of then - We also slept with windows wide open, no screens, when it was hot. Even left the front & back door ajar at night if it was super hot. Life has changed so much. For the worse.😢

​@@TheTrueCrimeChannelI personally think more needs to be done to address the issue of SA. In alot of the cases I'm hearing it seems the actual punishment for these crimes are just too lenient and doesn't take into account the knock on effect this has on the victim and in some cases these victims even become the perpetrator later in life sadly. The root of the problem needs to be addressed i.e. identifying individuals with these sick urges and working towards either ongoing change whilst monitoring them or keeping them behind bars. It's such a common problem, it's scary.

I read the book about Ebony that the parents wrote. The detective tried so hard to help them and to get him maximum sentence time but his hands were tied and he was so frustrated he couldn’t help them like they needed. That’s why he gave them the number of Anita Cobbys family…it was all he could do. The parents were instrumental in setting up the victims of crime support group that still operates today.

His plan was to do the same to all three of the children, from what the reports stated at the time. I drove over the Westgate not long after it happened, but at least I wasn’t one of the poor people who witnessed it happening. People heading into work that day would’ve been traumatised since he did it in the middle of peak hour.

His plan was to do it to them all..but Darcy was just who he grabbed first. After her brother who was older saw what he did to Darcy he started resisting his Dad and fighting him and asking him what he did to Darcy and the Dad lost his nerve and drove away. Also people driving past had seen what happenned and were starting to stop their cars behind him to try and help her

[@emmadownunder3833]

I remember exactly where I was when it came on the news that Darcy had been thrown over the west gate bridge. I had only just driven across it about two hours prior. I froze. For anyone who doesn’t know, it’s a very high bridge. It’s windy and scary to drive across on windy days. I still can’t believe she actually survived the impact with the water. It would have been like hitting concrete. I can still remember that day. It was a very dark day in Melbourne that day. And for some days following it. The police woman who was first on the scene broke down as she tried to work on little Darcy. It’s was utterly heartbreaking. Especially when an inquest later found that at least two doctors know Freeman was violent, unpredictable and abusive towards his children but they didn’t report it because they thought the courts and police were taking care of that side of things. Devastating. Her mum, Peta, was so dignified and strong. RIP Darcy and all the other child victims. What an awful cruel world we live in sometimes. 😢

Should we at least try to rehabilitate evil or simply lock it away?

[@cathytognella9133]

To Ebony's mum . No you don't ever have to forgive . I wouldn't either . I'm sorry for what you and your family went through and still are going through . May you find some peace knowing what a wonderful mum you were and that these dreadful monsters are out there . Love to your sons and husband . I would absolutely love the death penalty as there's no rehabilitation for monsters . He not a man but a monster. May you go on with rest of your life and. Cherish the good memories you had with Ebbony 😢

The 90s and years before were so different. I walked home from the bus and was basically unsupervised my whole life. I graduated HS in 1995. These days, I have kept my kids as close as possible- it’s a different time…

Arthur Freeman was an arrogant and spiteful pos. Like has happened with many other parents going through a difficult divorce or separation, they choose to hurt their spouse in the worst way possible. That proves to me that they don't love their children. Not one bit. He murdered his precious little girl and he also traumatized his 2 boys for life. RIP Darcy 😢

[@caroljackson5051]

I am glad after all that indecision he was found guilty, otherwise the mother's emotions would remain one of anger. After the guilty verdict she was able to grieve her daughter with the emotions associated with grief and loss. He knew what he was doing. He did it to spite her mother. What a monster!

[@TheTrueCrimeChannel]

Absolutely a monster!

He threw his daughter over the bridge because he didn't want his ex-wife to have the children. On top of this, he was going to throw the middle child over as well, then the oldest son. He knew what he was doing. The poor little girl tried to fight her dad

I knew Linda Stilwell in 1967 at Avondale Primary School. At the time of her abduction she had moved schools. I still think of her and her case, and of her family. It was felt amongst some local families that she was taken out of the country via New Zealand as no passports were required between Australia and New Zealand at that time. Hearing that police had checked boats on the area was interesting. I have always wondered whether the Dunedin lady once rumoured to be Jane Boumont could in fact be Linda Stilwell. She did look like her so I questioned it with Dunedin police and Russell Street at the time but was dismissed in both instances. I’m still not satisfied with that.

[@jilldellorusso876]

Horrific in every way! I'm always baffled how/why criminals of this nature get a light sentence , only to be released to do it again! I pray prisoners in Australia are similar to American Prisoners, who do what the Judicial System fails to do; REAL Justice!!

[@andre7s]

How can a dad throw his own child off a bridge?

[@lorainechuckry1975]

Forgiveness does not mean setting the guilty person free of their crimes. It means setting yourself free from bitterness because once bitterness takes hold of you it’s not healthy. I’m not saying you shouldn’t be angry about what happened but having bitterness means you are forever thinking about thst criminal who took thst precious life. If you forgive him you are no longer chained to him. You can move on taking those precious memories with you
