The foster mother of missing boy William Tyrrell has been charged by NSW police with stalxjmtzywking offences.
It comes just two months after the woman was charged with a separate count of common assault.
According to The Australian, a court has previously heard that the foster mother intended to have the assault charges dealt with under the Mental Health Act and medical assessments had been undertaken.
Both foster parents also pleaded not guilty to separate assault charges laid in November 2021.
All of the charges are unrelated to the three-year-old boy’s disappearance from his home in Kendall on the state’s mid-north Coast eight years ago.
The 56-year-old woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, was charged on Friday.
NSW police said they could not provide a comment because of non-publication orders.
Police began a renewed search to find the missing boy last year in three areas surrounding his home.
Police reported that Tyrrell’s foster mum and late foster grandmother were being treated as persons of interest in the little boy’s disappearance in November.
The foster-parents have maintained their denial of any wrongdoing and no charges have been laid against them in relation to Tyrrell vanishing.
The woman will appear in court on April 29.
