I wonder why it's so acceptable to assume the mother might be lying in this case, when in Madeleine's case, we are all meant to believe everything her parents tell us (even when they tell us completely contradictory things).

Possibly because she's a single mother, more than one father for her kids, a beauty therapist (ie not particularly educated). She is not a middle class doctor married to consultant surgeon.  Oh and she is not so well connected.

  People judge working class single mothers, I hope it is unfounded in this case.

Now we have confirmation that he didn't attend nursery on Wednesday and 'maybe not at all this week' and it appears they haven't found anyone that's seen him very recently.

The father of the first 3 siblings has been identified in a Daily Express article in which he was quoted saying the following;

Ms Kular’s estranged husband Omotoso Adekoa, whom she married in 2004 but separated from five years later,

It would appear he came over the weekend to see or collect his children, but Mikaeel is not his child.
Probably the first two older children are his,  Mikaeel and twin sister, and the baby must be of a different dad.
Maybe he came early morning and assumed Mikaeel was in bed.

If there's nothing untoward in the house not asking is not abnormal especially since we dont know how often the twins were present whenever he comes to collect his own kids.

Has Mikaeel's biological dad been traced and questioned ?  It would make sense if Mikaeel's dad has the key to the Apt considering there is only 6-month old baby in the house that presumably must belong to the later partner.

Ms McAinsh said she was not aware of any tension in the family that would have caused Mikaeel to run away, adding: 'We have spoken to his father. All of his family have been very, very helpful to the police. .........The superintendent said they had spoken to all 'key' members of the boy's family who are assisting police and said this is a missing person investigation, not a criminal investigation.
Ms McAinsh said: 'There have been no arrests. There have been no formal detentions, but several people are assisting us with our inquiries.

'Those inquiries are continuing.'......
'At this stage we're keeping an open mind, we're following up all lines of inquiry that we have.'

She added: 'I'm not aware of any custody issues at the moment but there's many lines of inquiry being followed and one of them will be to speak to Mikaeel's father.
We're endeavouring to speak with all of the family members, obviously one of whom is Mikaeel's father.'
