also many ITV & BBC national and local news TV & radio interviews.
It’s taken me 25 years to finally find out what happened with my case because of anonymity – because of a hundred families and Julian I have answers, the system keeps failing and tried to hide or place under the carpet forgetting about the impact on families and victims.
I am truly astonished that since mine and my mother’s case in 1996 the system is still the same, yet so many families and people have been affected and I personally believe in another 25 years it will remain the same.
I personally thank a Hundred Families and especially Julian for ensuring and helping people like myself otherwise I would have still of been searching for what I can only say is the system failed my family with life changing events… the victims can’t talk anymore and the system forgets where we don’t…
Personally now I have seen my report and admittance I will let nothing stop in my way to try and bring these departments to justice… They all could have prevented my beautiful mother and best friend from been murdered and they did not which had left me suffering for over 25 years believing that when I called the police and asked for help my call was ignored and now I know why…. because every one involved made mistakes which could have saved my mother’s life….
I want my mother’s story to be seen I want the system to know the affects it has had on my life I want accountability because for 25 years living with PTSD is something that has eating me up thinking I could have saved her when all along my mother wasn’t given a chance.
My heart goes out to everyone who has had to go through this and again when you find the information which was never released or never told.
I’m now a father and a husband and believe justice should be served for everyone on here you are not just a statistic and let our loved ones we have lost finally rest knowing this site and it’s members will stop at nothing to bring the system which they state keeps improving be held liable
