Just as the title says.

Noah Donohoe disappeared coming home from school, his body was found in a storm drain without his clothes.

His mother can not get answers on why the police decided, immediately that there was no four play and us being blocked from seeing 4 files by the police.

She says On the day Noah was found, before Noah was formally identified, the Police did a media release stating that there was ‘No Foul Play’ involved.I ask, if the police are so sure that ‘No Foul Play’ was involved, why are the police now trying to stop me, as Noah’s mummy, getting four files of information on Noah’s investigation?

Surely I am not unreasonable to think this isn't ok and that most of use would want to know what had happened to our child?

This is an overview of what has happened so far.

A local paper this week, leading with part two of their interview with Noah's mummy, Fiona Donohoe.

Fiona must miss Noah's hugs so very much.

Every word of every lie you uttered to our faces during this two years better be etched in your memory

Yes, quite. I've been thinking about the tweets from Noah's auntie, Niamh, posted upthread by Jamboree1 and this came to mind:

'Oh, what a tangled web we weave
When first we practice to deceive'

and

'Be sure your sins will find you out'

Sooner or later, those lies, those 'stories,' will start to crumble and will tumble out of your control.

TheRealMrsMac · 07/04/2022 15:47

We have been respectful and given people time to come forward with their truths
This must have taken unbelievable levels of restraint from Noah's loved ones.

TheRealMrsMac · 07/04/2022 15:51

You clearly all thought this was going to go away quickly
I'm sure that was the case. But it shouldn't go away and it's not going to go away until Noah has the justice he deserves and Fiona has the truth she needs and deserves.

TheRealMrsMac · 07/04/2022 15:54

Stop protecting child murderers
Yes, stop.

Unfortunately, it looks the same algorithms have been set for this thread in AIBU now as the one with the petition. It usually takes 5 posts to get this thread into Active, but it then usually drops straight back out of Active like a stone. Basically, it is in Active as little as possible, for as short a time as possible, unlike most other threads.

That's a shame.

TooBigForMyBoots · 07/04/2022 17:07

If what Naimh Donahoe says is true, there is an animal on our streets and no one's child is safe.

If Noah suffered Accidental Death with no foul play involved, the PSNI should let Fiona know as soon as possible. If his death was the result of criminal behaviour, then they need to get that criminal off our streets.Angry

TooBigForMyBoots · 07/04/2022 17:10

Ah come on now @MNHQ, my post didn't make this thread appear in Active. This is not the only thread I've been on where this has happened. What is going on?

thenewduchessoflapland · 07/04/2022 17:19

Wonder if the police would have reacted differently if he was white?

Turningpurple · 07/04/2022 17:24

Clearly have too much time on my hands. But from my observations I think the algorithm favours threads that are newer.

New threads can get 4 posts in an hour and be in active. But the older ones don't.

You could well be correct, Turningpurple.

We’ll just have to carry on bumping as much as we can, until Fiona has those 500,000 signatures .

Unless you’d like to make this thread a “sticky”, MNHQ ?

After all, one of your declared aims is “ to make parents’ lives easier by pooling knowledge, advice and support “.

Fiona is a parent.
She needs all the support she can get.
How about it ?

It’s probably also because it’s just a lot of the same people posting so it’s not active as such it’s more a chat between just a couple of posters for the coding for active.

I read that Donal McIntyre was going to do an item about this along with a retired DCI who worked so hard to get to the truth on the Stephen Lawrence campaign.

I can't find anything further as to this happening or not. Can anyone update on this please?

DoYouSeaWhatISea · 07/04/2022 21:08

Signed and bumping for Fiona and her darling son Noah.

PamDenick · 07/04/2022 21:16
