💙 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? 💙

[TheRealMrsMac]

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.

I'm having trouble even posting on mn over the last day I hit post and it just hangs for ages with nothing happening

Thinking of Noah, his mummy and family 💙

Cllr Raymond Barr- friend and supporter of Noah’s family has highlighted yet another case where PII has been used in NI to seal the files of a murdered child until 2085. This repeated use of PII to protect child murderers and their enablers is unacceptable. Highlights how important it is to prevent PII being used in Noah’s case

Not sure I understand all the acronyms but this is a worthy petition if there ever was one!

Please, if you can, sign the petition and share it with your family and friends.

Please urge the Police Service, Northern Ireland not to seal the files on Noah’s case.

Truth matters, justice matters.

Noah matters.

Thank you pps.

Would you like to post the acronyms - happy to try to help?

Mumsnet has been a bit slow and glitchy for a few days, hasn't it? Maybe it's the ongoing work for the new platform.

@TheBlackDarner

What a cheeky grin on his face in that photo. Thinking of you all involved in this petition. You are very special people indeed.💙🫂

Yourself included. 💙

Very apt. Thank you for reminding us all of this always-powerful quote.

Thank you for all that you do for Noah and Fiona.
Team work is a wonderful thing. 💙

This Easter Saturday afternoon, 304,763 good men and women are standing up for Noah and Fiona and watching what happens next. Will you join them, by signing the petition?

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 - it disappears out again. The topic this thread has to be in according to Mumsnet is very hard for new people to find.

The link to the petition is in the OP.

Thank you 💙

An example being, it's still not in Active yet!

Let's try again... 💙

Nope. Onwards and upwards... 💙

If you have signed or signed and shared the petition and are wondering what else you can do to help Noah and Fiona apart from help to bump this thread, please consider an email, tweet, call, conversation or letter to your own government and local representatives in the UK, Ireland, and to Doreen Lawrence at the House of Lords. It would be very much appreciated.

Would you believe, still not in? Earth calling Active...

Just spotted in active 💙
