STATEMENTS OF SUPPORT
Statement from Marion, Chris's Mum, January 2008
I am grateful, that via this website, I am able to portry the real Chris, not the Chris which you may have read about in the newspapers or heard about on TV. Chris would never, ever hurt anyone, especially in the way that has been described. I know Chris better than anyone and I know that he does not have an evil bone in his body. If anyone has hurt Fred Moss I hope they can live with themselves knowing that an innocent man is behind bars for something which he did not do. I am very proud of the way Chris is coping. Right from the time he could walk Chris has been very much an outdoor person. As a youngster instead of being stuck indoors watching TV he would be outdoors. It would not matter to him how wet it was nor how cold. As soon as he left school he became a pest controller, which he was very good at. He has a special gift with dogs and is a very good dog trainer.
Chris is a very kind person and would do anything for anyone, very often putting other people before himself. He idolises his nephews and nieces and misses seeing them growing up. Like me, he sometimes prefers his own company. If you knew him like I do you would see that he is a kind, gentle person, a person with the kind of personality that is easy to warm to. Chris has had the one thing taken away from him which most of us take for granted, his freedom. I have to mention my disgust at the very people that we have to trust to take care of us, the public, and that is the police. It beggars belief that they sat and watched whilst Chris was kidnapped by the travellers, terrorised with a firearm and assaulted. What does that say about them! I personally will never trust or have faith in the police ever again. My heart goes out to Fred Moss's Mum. I know only too well what it is like to have a child taken away from you. Please give Chris your support. Whoever is responsible for the disappearance of Fred Moss has not just destroyed one family, they have destroyed two!
Statement from David, Chris's Dad. January (2008)
I have listened to all the negative and bad things that people have said about Chris over the years, and never more so than in the past four years, and as his Father, albeit not by birth.
Since his Mother and I got together over 13 years ago I have seen him change from a boy to a man, a man who at times has kept himself to himself, a man who has always thought of others before himself, which at times as been his downfall, never more so than when people took advantage of his generous nature.
As his parent, we have had our ups and downs, and many an argument, but what parent hasn't. He has taught me a lot, about dogs mainly, about training, about having patience, about breeding and selecting good bloodlines. He is a man that I am proud to call my son!
