CONSERVATIVE 2GB radio broadcaster Ray Hadley has revealed through tears he feels “inadequate as a father” after his police officer son was charged with drug possession.
His only son Daniel Hadley, 28, a NSW police constable with the North West Metropolitan Region, was arrested and charged after allegedly trying to buy cocaine from a dealer on Friday.
In a press conference on Saturday afternoon, an emotional Ray told reporters he was “angry and perplexed” when he first learned that Daniel had been arrested in possession of 0.79 of a gram of cocaine, worth about $200.
...
Daniel had been off work for months with a dislocated knee and hernia, according to his father. But it was only overnight he learned that his son has been “battling mental health issues for quite some time”, he said. “The serious nature of his illness is such that he’s been admitted to a clinic immediately. Daniel accepts responsibility for his behaviour but unfortunately is not in control of his mental health. I now know how many parents feel when they think things are okay when they’re not.” Ray said.
The Daily Telegraph reported on Saturday that Daniel was off-duty and under surveillance when he attempted the purchase the illegal substance at the Australian Hotel and Brewery in Rouse Hill, in Sydney’s west. Officers allegedly found cocaine on him before he was charged with possession of a prohibited drug.
Daniel has been granted conditional bail but his future with NSW Police is now under review. He has been suspended from duty in the interim.
