CEOP have had reason to send local sex offender unit police here with a search warrant.
It’s become very clear that they have no intent to carry out the investigation CEOP sent them for, and have gone for something random and much easier (us) that will make it look like they have instead. (using up a precious forensic outsource budget on from their POV random likelihood of success as well.)
It feels like it's a very serious allegation to make, and I’ve been trying to convince myself that somehow I haven’t seen what I’ve seen happen, that I’m mistaken or confused, but it’s there all day, every day, and most of the night, and it isn’t getting better and won’t go away. I feel so sick.
I know what I’ve seen and I know what it means, I just want to be wrong.
The police know that while he’d be difficult to catch, a potential paedophile who if it’s who we think, will have future access to vulnerable children, is left undetected. Paperwork will make it appear an investigation took place and uncovered no wrong doing.
But there hasn’t been anything you could honestly call a proper investigation into the crime they say was reported, or use of warrant. (they didn’t bother searching even letting us the new ‘suspects’ choose/tell them what computers and phones to take for investigation or not, which I’m grateful for but shocked at.)
I’m left wondering how many other situations similar to this are happening. My faith in modern CP which I thought had got better, is completely shattered.
We're not criminals but I’m so scared that if we make a fuss they might claim to find something to shut us up, or make our lives even more miserable.
Sucking it up and keeping schtum seems safest, but I’m sick to my stomach and don’t know which way to turn. Would you put protecting your family first, or speak out?
