Several months ago, dd's friend was punched in the face by unknown girl, in club toilet, there was no CCTV footage. My dd (19yrs old) and her 2 friends spoke to police outside club, but police not interested. Dd and friends left, went to get taxi home, and girl appeared in taxi office and attacked my dd by knocking her head against wall twice. It may have been caught on CCTV.
When they got to my house, dd and her 2 friends were hysterical. I phoned police, an officer came some while later - he said he'd seen CCTV footage, but we don't know of what. He took statements, and later said that the girl was known to them, and that they would be making an arrest.
Police called dd last night to say that girl claimed dd and friends had assaulted her first. Dd (and her friend) have been given two choices - to drop all charges, or to be arrested themselves for assault, and face a court case!!
DD is going to police later on and is going to drop charges, she doesn't want to "be in trouble", despite the fact that she has done nothing wrong. She said the officer who rang her was apologetic, but that that was the way the system worked.
Just how unfair is that.
