Yet more police idiocy.

Yep. They seem determined to find something that fits their agenda. They gives them the reason to appear right

So now the police force are hounding her.

Agree with this. The way the manhandled her, knowing she has scoliosis is so upsetting. She was screaming in pain

I think it could be argued that the police committed a disability hate crime there.

Well hopefully SS will do a home visit and say "nothing to see here" which will make WYP look even more stupid.

WYP are just carrying on digging themselves deeper into the hole on this

If children with autism run away in the WYP area who are parents supposed to call now to help them?

If your child says something blunt or had a meltdown they may be arrested and you may be referred to social services

If they are physically disabled they may be handled with no due consideration for their disability

What are the police for when the public can no longer trust them to find missing children?

The process is the punishment

Why?? Meltdown is totally normal in autistic kids. West Yorkshire Police are a fucking joke.
As the autistic mum of 2 autistic kids this is fucking scary.

You were in agreement, for once, with the rest of us. Why didn't you just take the win?

I'm not really here to win anything.

I'm not saying that 'she must have done something to warrant the police action' quite the opposite in fact. I have said that what the police did is wrong - and if I was there it wouldn't bother me being called a name and it would have been dealt with differently.

It appears that she was a vulnerable missing from home who has been found and brought back home.

That would be it for me - the fact that she has been returned to her family safe and well. Now move on to the next job. She can call me all the names under the sun - I have more important things to do, close the door and walk away. if her parents want to tell her off for calling me names, then that's up to them. But its done in the family home by the family - not in custody.

I am just making a suggestion as to what the offence was that she was arrested for - and how/why the officer has concluded that offence has been committed.

I'm not saying its right or I agree with it.

And all become clear

We had an incident this week in the town centre where a man was mown down by a mobility scooter. Not the normal types but the ones that look like miniature cars but can still go where pedestrians go.

4 police cars and two ambulances showed up.

Someone had their house broken into not too long ago, and was then verbally harassed. No police because they didn’t have any spare staff

Ah, I see WYP are saying that it is on bodycam.

Well, I do hope that their bodycams were switched on.
And if they weren't, then I'd be wanting to know why, if I were that young girl's legal representative.

It's a fecking compliment.
Im a middle -aged Lesbian and look fantastic!

Thank you, good to know

FFS. What is the world coming to? Shame on the police. They have seriously lost their way. This is not protecting the public. The officers were not in any danger. They carried on making this girl more distressed. The mother was calmly explaining. What an embarrassment to policing.

Honestly they are like buses, none for ages then they all turn up at once.

Of course they can. The police are subject to the law just like everyone else.

I am amazed at people seeing 4 police officers at a time. I did recently see a couple parked up outside a local restaurant (posh drug dealing establishment), but they didn't stay long and didn't appear to do or say anything while they were there.
We don't usually see any at all unless they are whizzing past at top speed on the main road.

I had four police officers the other day at mine because I committed the heinous crime of...

Answering my doorbell when it rang!

the police actually worked in my favour in the end but I'm convinced there must be no actual crime going on where I live right now!

The WYP statement says she was arrested on suspicion of a homophobic public order offence.

And that does appear to confirm there was not 'more to it'. If she had been violent the statement would have said so.

I'm idly wondering whether police officers can be reported for hate incidents, because the girl is covered by a hate crime strand

Six police officers came to arrest me for allegedly posting “they really do” on an instagram post which said “good things take time”.

Eh? What on earth were they thinking you meant?

I hope, in reality, Nanna Julie is nothing like that WPC.
