Desperate search for eight-month-old baby boy missing with his Aboriginal mother, 19

A desperate search is on for an eight-month-old baby boy who disappeared with his mother on the way to a medical appointment on Thursday morning.

Police have asked for public assistance after Jack Goddard-Langton was taken by his mother Charlene Coolwell, 19, from Logan Road at Holland Park in Queensland about 10.35am.

Acting Superintendent Michael O’Dowd said police believe the baby is in the care of his mother, but are concerned about his ‘ability to receive proper parenting care.’

‘For a child so young, we’re concerned about the ability for him to receive proper care,’ he said

‘In the circumstances we are asking for the public to come forward and give us help.’

Police said Ms Coolwell and her son could be staying in a number of Brisbane suburbs where they are known to have relatives.

Jack is described as Aboriginal in appearance, wearing a blue and green striped Bonds singlet and denim jeans.

Ms Coolwell is described as Aboriginal in appearance, 160cm tall, proportionate build, 19-years-of-age, black hair and brown eyes last seen wearing a black and white striped dress.

Journalist who exposed Donald Trump charitable claims wins Pulitzer and revealed ‘grab ’em by the pussy’ tape

david-fahrenthold.jpgThe Washington Post’s David Fahrenthold has won a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting, which included the revelation that Donald Trump had made false claims about his charitable fundraising as well as breaking the news of the tape in which the tycoon bragged about groping women.

During the US election campaign last year, the reporter investigated the President’s philanthropic works over his business career, revealing that Mr Trump had made his fundraising seem more impressive than it actually was.

Following Mr Fahrenthold’s reporting, the New York Attorney General opened an inquiry into the Trump Foundation fundraising practices, and ultimately issued a “notice of violation” ordering the foundation to stop raising money in New York.

The Pulitzers, given out by Columbia University, are the most prestigious prizes in American journalism for newspaper and digital news coverage.
