The family of missing boy William Tyrrell has distanced themselves from Schapelle Corby, after Corby’s unusual method of drawing attention to the missing persons case yesterday.
While leaving her villa in Kuta to begin her trip home, Corby held her handbag above her head, showing a picture of William, then aged 3, and the words “Where’s William Tyrrell?“
Now the Where’s William campaign have suggested that they’re not super stoked with their cause being taken up by a convicted drug smuggler.
In a statement on their Facebook page, organisers of the campaign said:
“While the Where’s William campaign appreciates that Schapelle Corby has shown concern regarding little William’s disappearance […] in using her release as a convicted offender from Bali as a media opportunity to increase awareness that William is still missing, we are not happy.“William’s family and their campaign […] have absolutely no association with Schapelle Corby, her supporters or her family and had no prior knowledge of Miss Corby’s intention to use William’s image in this way.”
Corby arrived back in Australia this morning, and has been documenting her journey on Instagram.
