💙 THREAD 2: Will you spare five minutes to help the lovely Noah Donohoe get the justice he deserves and to support his mummy Fiona in getting the truth about what happened to her beloved son? 💙

My son, Noah Donohoe was an intelligent smart gentle boy. He was 14 years old and he was my only child and my everything.

On 21st June 2020, a bright sunny day, Noah set off on his bike to meet up with his 2 friends but never reached his destination. Instead, Noah was found 6 days later in a storm-drain, naked, in a part of Belfast he did not know.

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?

The Police have applied for a ‘Public Interest Immunity’ certificate, which, if granted, means they can hide four key files in the investigation. Such a certificate is only used in exceptional circumstances and rarely used in the case of a missing child. This certificate has been brought into play in cases where Police intelligence, informers or paramilitaries are involved.

I as Noah’s mummy have, from the very start of Noah being missing, believed that the police did not use all their resources in finding Noah. This was confirmed when it emerged they had not paid anyone overtime while investigating his death. They did little, if any, forensics and any suspects that were brought to their attention were dismissed as not relevant.

I believe that someone harmed my Noah and that there have been serious and repeated failings in the Police investigation of his death. I will never get Justice for Noah if I do not get all the information. These four files are vital for us to get the truth we desperately need, to find out what really happened to my precious son.

I am asking you as the public, some of you as parents, to sign this petition so that Noah gets the justice he truly deserves and to place transparency and accountability where it should rightly be.

They reported on the Ballymurphy massacre in the same episode and ran a documentary about the Massacre straight after that episode. They know about the abuse of PII. Jon Snow breaks the mould. He is being shut down.

Channel 4 absolutely tried for Noah

[quote Addicted2Crisps]@TheRealMrsMac the channel 4 report was welcome but also understated. [/quote]
I understand where you are coming from. It had to be, to some degree. I think they did the best they could at that specific time. I wonder if they could go any further now?

One fine day, the truth will be out there for all to see. Most importantly, for Noah and Fiona. 💙

I feel like my grandparents would have totally related to this awful tale. This is hardly unprecedented. And yet here we are in 2022, with another Catholic and black child falling victim to some depraved animal.

Apart from animals, plural, I couldn't agree more, @Addicted2Crisps 💙

As I said, they absolutely went out there for Noah. When those journalists, except a couple of brave ones such as Patricia Devlin, at home didn’t.

Addicted2Crisps · 15/04/2022 01:14

@TheRealMrsMac yes the channel 4 report was a very welcome development.

Please sign the petition or sign and share if you can, and don't forget to confirm your signature for it to count.

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.

The link to the petition is in the OP.

Thank you 💙

Bumping to make people aware of this. I certainly wasn't aware until I picked this up in the active section.
This should not have happened to any child or mother! Truly shocking and heartbreaking for all. It hasn't left my mind since I came across this thread.

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 15/04/2022 12:26

Just unbelievable isn't it LuckyLass22, I only came across it at 2:30am, it's barely in active when I look 😞💙💙💙

Every signature, every share helps. Please support Noah and Fiona.

A foundation of lies will crumble.

CatChant · 15/04/2022 15:17

So let’s keep up the pressure.

CatChant · 15/04/2022 15:19

The more of us who demand answers the harder it becomes to deny them.

CatChant · 15/04/2022 15:21

Justice for Noah and the truth for Fiona.
