DISABLED QUEENSLAND BOY FOUND SAFE IN NEWCASTLE

A family allegedly on the run after taking their disabled son out of a Brisbane hospital has been located in Newcastle.

The severely disabled 4-year-old was taken from Brisbane’s Lady Cilento Hospital around midday yesterday.

The family was thought to be in northern New South Wales, but late today the boy’s mother was spotted in Newcastle and detained by police where she’s assisting police with their enquiries.

The father and the little boy were found a short time later and the boy has been taken to the John Hunter Hospital.

It’s reported, the parents believed the boy’s condition stemmed from childhood vaccinations and they feared for his safety in hospital.
