The brother of a NSW central coast woman charged over her toddler’s death says welfare authorities failed to act when told of fears for the woman’s children.
Donna Deaves, 27, appeared briefly in Gosford Local Court on Wednesday charged with being an accessory after the fact to the murder of two-year-old Tanilla Warrick-Deaves.
Deaves was led into court before magistrate Alan Railton wearing a black and white print dress and yellow cardigan with her black hair tied back.
She did not show any emotion in court, where she was supported by family members.
Deaves did not apply for bail, which was formally refused until her next appearance on December 14 in Wyong Local Court.
Court papers state that Deaves “did receive, harbour, maintain and assist” her boyfriend Warren Ross.
Ross, 28, was arrested on September 28 while camping in the Ourimbah State Forest on the central coast and was charged with murdering Tanilla.
He has also been accused of intimidating witnesses in the case.
Deaves has two older children who remain in the care of the Department of Community Services (DoCS).
Outside court on Wednesday, Deaves’ brother criticised DoCS, claiming the department did not act when he officially reported concerns for the children’s welfare.
“Yes, I’m really disappointed in the Department of Community Services and still their action in the way they’re going about it now,” Mr Deaves said.
He and other extended family members had been involved in Deaves’ children’s lives since they were born.
“She was a great girl,” Mr Deaves said of Tanilla, who was rushed to hospital on August 27 after police found her with significant injuries at her Watanobbi home.
She was pronounced dead at Wyong Hospital a short time later.
“She was a smiley girl, she loved dressing up. We used to take her to play group.”
Mr Deaves said his sister was a “very good person” who had lost everything and would not cope well in custody.
She had recently been moved to temporary accommodation, he believed, for her safety.
He said his sister wasn’t well and was in need of counselling.
“She’s pretty lost,” Mr Deaves told reporters.
“She knows that she’s lost everything.”
Deaves’ arrest at Erina on Tuesday was no surprise to the family.
“We all knew that this was coming,” he said.
“She was under the impression that there could be further charges laid by police. They did make that clear at the start.”
Mr Deaves said he and other family members have had support from neighbours, but the local community had responded negatively.
“For us at the moment it is very bad, because we’ve copped a lot of stuff,” Mr Deaves said.
“It won’t go away, ever.”
He also made a plea to the public to respect online tributes to Tanilla.
“In the meantime, I would like also to take into consideration there is other children involved and to stop their crap on Facebook and whatever else.”
Comment is being sought from the Department of Community Services.
