Baden Bond was last seen 10 years ago, in March 2007, at his family home in the Logan suburb of Woodridge.
While he was only declared missing in early 2016, police said there was no evidence that Baden had been alive beyond that last confirmed sighting, when he was just 22 months old.
They alleged Baden was killed sometime between March 26 and May 17 in Woodridge, or somewhere else in Queensland.
The charges came after police appealed for information from the public on Wednesday with hopes a neighbour, family member or someone who might have seen something that could shed light on what happened to the little boy.
"Baden has not attended any educational facility, medical appointments in that time.
"We are treating this as a homicide," detective inspector Damien Hansen of the Homicide Group said on Wednesday.
Baden had been in the care of his family when he disappeared. In August of the same year, they moved to NSW.
The family had told police Baden was living with different relatives or he was living with other people, but inspector Hansen said detectives had not been able to verify their accounts.
"They've given us a number of versions, but none of those have resulted in Baden being located," he said.
"We've searched every possible location for Baden."
In November last year, police dug up the backyard of a Woodridge home and recovered bones - while they were believed to be dog bones at the time, Inspector Hansen said they were still undergoing testing.
"There's a number of bones that are still being scientifically examined," he said, and added the results are due in the next couple of months.
