Sally Clark

[Mercy]

Poor, poor woman - and her family of course. My heart goes out to them.

Sally Clark

I know mercy
An absolutely miserable end to a tragic life. It's just so devastatingly sad.
I'm not a vengerful person as a rule but Roy Meadow is someone I sincerely hope will get his just deserts some day, for all the suffering he is personally responsible for.

Absolutely, Marina.

Some aspects of the legal system need changing full stop.

It is heartbreaking what was done to her.

Rest in peace Sally.

my lord, poor poor woman, poor poor husband, poor poor children.
I agree with you about Roy Meadows Marina, I sincerely hope he has some trouble sleeping at night.

Unbearably tragic. I hope Roy Meadows can't sleep at night. But I doubt he suffers even the slightest twinge of conscience.

Her poor daughter was stripped of her mother for four long years (inc. pre-trial). And now she's lost forever.

Yet SS are still up to their old tricks. Nothing has changed - the multiple failures that led to Sally Clark, Angela Cannings, Trupti Patel and Donna Anthony being falsely accused and damned have not been resolved. Suspicion, innuendo and supposition are still being used to condemn women in a modern day version of the Salem witch trials. Look at that poor couple in the salt poisoning case - and the Fran Lyon threads.

The government claimed it would hold an inquiry into the workings of the family courts in cases of disputed medical evidence. Yet all they did was ask SS: "Have you got any cases where you would like to admit you fucked up royally?" Oddly enough SS failed to identify more than half a dozen... people known to MNers who had been accused by Roy Meadows were told 'Oh, no, your case isn't included'.

So utterly distressing

how could she ever recover from what happened to her - almost unbearable to think of what she and her family had to endure

bump

It's almost incredible to think that the state can do this to a woman. And so so frightening, to know that she is not a one-off, they're doing it to lots of mothers and they're using the threat of it to keep the rest of us in line.

exactly what rubyslippers said. how could anyone ever get over that

So so sad. What an utter utter cock-up. Her poor husband and surviving child.

You hear of people dying of broken hearts and it sounds so exaggerated usually. Not in this case. Poor, poor woman.

truly awful - that family has been ruined by Roy Meadow. How he can be walking free when he is responsible for this is beyond me. He is a dangerous megalomaniac and woman hater.

That pic of her, when she was released from prison. Her eyes look haunted.

so sad

haunted is the right word

Such unimaginable pain. And nothing done. How can it be that lives can be so pointlessly ripped apart and no-one held to proper account, nothing actually changed?
