When former nominated MP and assistant minister Betty Tett and her husband William Tett adopted little David Tett, their intention was to raise him to be a responsible adult alongside their biological children.

David was only one year old when he lost his mother, who was Betty Tett's sister. Initially placed in a foster home, he was later taken in by the Tetts, who had the best intentions for the toddler.
