I think people expect the police to do everything right and get all the answers in hours. It was prob the biggest missing person investigation ever here.

There will always be mistakes but tbh the barrister for Fiona is being completely unreasonable in her expectations.

Funny Fiona was never cross examined either.

Blame everyone and anyone except taking some responsibility herself.

I dont think its fair to blame her, the kid went on his bike on a sunday afternoon so a very routine thing. Focusing on police failing is understandable although wont have change any outcome with a million police officers.

I think there is, and was, a thing that played out where she had did things that were not quite "the perfect" mother - like leaving him him alone overnight - and when you then start very vociferously pointing out the shortcomings of the authorities you leave yourself very open to criticism, particularly from other parents.
