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.

As someone living in Northern Ireland I foolishly thought that if a child was missing that the PSNI would actively search for them, including overtime, until they were found. The bins in the street were Noah was last seen were emptied while a search was taking place. This is not good police work. Police did not search at night time, I went to that area after work 3 days after Noah went missing and did not see any PSNI presence. For the police to report “Missing Person Fatigue “ and refuse overtime is an absolute disgrace. Noah’s mummy Fiona should be given all relevant information. 95 weeks after her son went missing she is still searching for answers. There is something very wrong here. We all need to speak up for truth, answers and justice 💙

Very glad to see new posters joining the thread. 💙

It's very difficult to get this thread into Active where it will be seen. This is because the Mumsnet algorithms set for this thread, unlike for most other threads, usually require 5 posts close together before it appears in Active. It is then usually only in Active momentarily before disappearing. Mumsnet have been asked to change the algorithms set so that it is not such an uphill struggle to get this thread into Active. So far, this hasn't happened.

Posts and even just bumps on the thread are very welcome. The more people who get to know about Noah and Fiona, the better. Thank you. 💙

As you'll pick up from reading the thread, posting on the thread and bumping it if it's not showing in Active is also a big help.

As you'll pick up from reading the thread, posting on the thread and bumping it if it's not showing in Active is also a big help. Unusually, frustratingly and unfortunately, the algorithms for this thread mean that it takes 5 posts before it appears in Active so that people will see it, and then blink and you miss it.
