When former nominated MP and assistant minister Bett Tett and her husband William Tett adopted little David Tett, it was to bring him up to be a responsible adult alongside their natural siblings.  David was only one year old when he lost his mother, a sister to his aunt, Betty Tett.

He was first taken into a foster home before the Tetts took him into their family.

They had all the good intentions for the toddler.  David grew up surrounded by all the trappings of good living and love like his biological siblings.

He had a privileged upbringing that included taking him to prestigious schools.
