William Tyrrell’s foster mother has called on New South Wales police to confirm whether they have advised prosecutors to charge her over the toddler’s disappearance in 2014.

The commentary by her legal team follows media reports that detectives had sent a brief of evidence to the director of public prosecutions alleging William’s foster mother covered up the accidental death of three-year-old Tyrrell who is missing and presumed dead.
