Katie Price's son, Harvey, has allegedly been the subject of "inappropriate and derogatory" images shared by a number of Metropolitan Police officers via WhatsApp.

The allegations are understood to concern officers' involvement in a group chat between 2016 and 2018.

Reacting to the notifying letter, Price said “It's disgusting that police officers from here have felt the need to laugh and use disgusting content on Harvey by creating a what's app group."

So disgusted by this but no longer surprised 😡

That letter doesn’t look very professional, looks fake to me.

I agree it looks a bit iffy.

Are you suggesting she faked it? that's a pretty serious allegation.

Incidentally, a google of 'daman met police investigation' came up with Daman Sihota, Investigator. Also found this - if you look under the bit where she says 'I feel I need' you can just make out the name Sihota. So not a fake. Unless she's trawled LinkedIn to find him.

So what if she isn't any better ? That doesn't mean the police can do what they want?

The criteria for being a victim of a crime/inappropriate behaviour should never be reliant on the people around you to be exemplary. That's not how it works.

If I randomly violently attack a man on the street who happens to be a local.drug dealer i don't deserve to get away with it just because he's a drug dealer. I still committed a crime.

And not even that, but if you attached the local drug dealers vulnerable child it would be, because they're parent has questionable behaviour.

Unsure where this leaves kids physically harmed or abused in their home, are they open season for any abuser @Natalie1966 ?

I would have thought that this Damien would have put his surname on the letter as well when he introduced himself .

Throwncrumbs · 18/02/2023 18:59

Not an allegation, just looks a bit amateurish to me, it’s my opinion. I would have thought that a police officer would introduce himself by his full name and status.

He's on LinkedIn, why don't you tell him that? I'm sure he'd like the input.

I’m not sure which is worst - the pps saying the police do a hard job so them mocking a disabled child is fine or the ones saying “but Katie is horrible so Harvey deserves it”.
Bloody hell, sometimes Mumsnet shocks me, I thought I’d seen it all but then it gets worse.

This.

Here’s an update on the case
news.sky.com/story/katie-price-shocked-and-upset-by-disgusting-remarks-made-about-son-in-police-whatsapp-group-12816857

some background into the case

“Eight serving and former officers face the gross misconduct hearing after allegedly being part of the WhatsApp group, entitled "Secret Squirrel S*", between May 2016 and June 2018.”

“The eight officers are subject to three allegations of gross misconduct and are also alleged to have breached standards of professional behaviour in relation to equality and diversity, authority, respect and courtesy, challenging and reporting improper conduct and discreditable conduct.

The first allegation concerns comments and posts made by officers in the WhatsApp group, the second relates to comments about a female colleague, Officer A, and the third is in relation to the officers failing to report the content.“

The letter isn't faked, fgs. It's been on every news channel and is confirmed by the police.

And KP reputation has NOTHING to do with it.

CampfireZen · 22/02/2023 16:28

Thanks for the update, OP.
The quoted comment about Harvey is despicable. Former Sergeant Luke Thomas, former acting Sergeant Luke Allen and former PC Lee South should be utterly ashamed.

Let's hope justice is done. Am always wary of internal investigations carried out by the same police force, though. Doesn't exactly inspire public confidence, does it?

Why is it not being carried out by an independent, impartial, unconnected body?

I will make only one comment on this. I liken their stupidity to someone with a single brain cell. They're not invinsible nor are they credible. I reckon the vast majority of retired/ex police officers would shy away from admitting what their career was. What a sad state of affairs they find themselves in. Tbh I genuinely don't think they will ever come back from this. Embarrassing is an understatement. Tbf, I simply cannot stomach Katie Price (she should be in Jail) but any person who targets her son should be outed because its disgraceful and cruel behaviour. As for his mother, well I'd get banned if i were to voice my concerns over her own behaviour.

Shame she can't be bothered to attend the hearing, Katie knew about this and could have cancelled the 3 week holiday with 2 of her kids keeping them OUT OF SCHOOL at the same time. But as we all know Katie looks after number one and that will never change.

I’m sure most mothers would love nothing more than to sit in a room and hear the disgusting things a group of people have been saying about their child and come face to face with those people. Many people take their children out of school for holidays, many people aren’t perfect. Does that make it ok to billy their disabled child? No it does not ffs!
