Last month, Jayden and Joseph Brady, aged 11 and 14, disappeared from their foster homes in Tweed Heads. The story was followed with great concern across the country.
The boys were finally found over a week later in the bush with their father, Daniel Brady, who also goes by the name Omra Ki. Mr Brady/Ki was arrested for allegedly breaching his bail conditions associated with the alleged breach of an apprehended violence order. He told the police that the boys ran away with him because they didn’t want to be vaccinated.
The boy’s brother, Indigo (also named Tree) wrote to local newspaper, The Northern Star, saying that his family was being persecuted by authorities because “my dad discovered the unified field that Albert Einstein looked for for 40 years, the thing that proves we are all connected. They don’t want us to put it out because it proves we are all one.”
Police told the media that the children were in care because they had previously tested positive to having cannabis in their systems (it’s not clear whether Tree had any cannabis in his system before he wrote to the Northern Star).
It’s fair to say that this story already had some odd elements. But nothing compares to the unique perspectives that have been revealed by Mr Brady’s interview with the Daily Telegraph.
The quirky revelations included:
– All of Mr Brady’s children were home-birthed in places of natural beauty, including “late afternoon at little Wategos beach” out in the open, at Fingal Headland, on the beach of a tropical island in the Whitsundays and at a lake in Suffolk Park Byron Bay where local indigenous people once gave birth.

The nomadic lifestyle is just another way of life and many cultures around the world have chosen to live that way throughout history. Teaching kids about life in harmony with nature, sleeping under the stars, discussing Einstein's theories with them, being old fashioned hippies etc - there's nothing wrong with that -rich tapestry of life, etc.
However, the AVO, the cannabis, the medieval dental practices, the fear of vaccinations, the sense of paranoia and the conspiracy theories -at what point do we, or should we, draw the line and look at those kids' rights to modern medicine and a broader education; to a drug free and safe environment; to a life not lived on the run; to a life not lived in fear of modern society?
Very well thought out and written RKon. I have no idea what the answer is, but the cannabis and the paranoia/conspiracy theories in children of such a young age does worry me a great deal.
People used to be called nutjobs for believing apple cider vinegar had health benefits. Guess what? Scientifically proven by the scientists in the Gut Project.
Yes Luxxe, but what exactly are the benefits of giving cannabis to children who trust their parents to care for them and not harm them?
