The police don’t need a crystal ball - it’s bleeding obvious that they failed her by not following protocol on safeguarding a clearly vulnerable person (living in disabled facility)
In what way didn’t they safeguard her? And how do you know? Do you work for the police safeguarding them?
What would you expect them to do if not lock her away?
Various newspaper articles all reported that family members had stated their concerns to Papworth Trust that it wasn’t safe for her to live alone. And I would have thought it was obvious that the ‘evidence’ that she wasn’t fit to live alone was the fact that she spent her time harassing strangers and ended up causing the death of a woman by her out of control actions, all of which could have been avoided if the red flags had been acted upon
Do you realise how high the bar is for having someone have their liberties taken away and only have supervised outdoor time? Someone who has a disability and is sometimes gobby is way off the mark - again, what do you expect to happen? That she’s never allowed out?
If they had referred to social services, it would have been mentioned at trial and there would have been a report to that effect. She would already have been on their radar so any police involvement should have been notified.
It really wouldn’t. It’s not related to the case and it’s irrelevant in terms of the crime.
I think the OP was referring to risk assessment before the incident, not after, as if the proper procedures had been followed she may possibly have been moved back into residential supervised care.
OP , like yourself, has no idea that a risk assessment didn’t happen.
And I don’t blame the OP for turning off notifications, this is a dreadful, hostile thread and contains some outrageous attitudes towards mental health. If MN moderators are watching, I think it should be taken down.
MN should take down an OP being annoyed that no one is indulging in her spouting drivel? Yeah that’s not how MN rolls.
