💙 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.

Thank you 💙

I hadn’t realised that the boy who was attacked a short time before Noah was a pupil at the same school he attended.
No wonder your relatives are terrified,TooBigForMyBoots.

All the boys are, the fear that someone out there could be hunting them.

I've signed already - just adding here for the bump. Fiona & Noah deserve the truth.

@TheRealMrsMac

belfastmedia.com/waiting-on-one-brave-psni-officer-to-do-right-by-noah This is part of the article: 'Noah Donohoe The Police Service of Northern Ireland are not doing anyone a favour by sitting on the shoddy investigations they did two years ago. The police should own up that they have been seriously unprofessional in how they have unfairly dismissed what majority of people feel about young Noah's death. How long do we have to wait for just one brave officer to address the public about the deliberate incompetency of the police? Some institutions in Northern Ireland hide under a roof called ignorance. It is common when black people have been attacked. There are cases of victims going to the police, compensation agency and the all-white panel with a medical doctor struggle to determine the extent of the complaint. They can't see it. Many have complained, these are not hypotheticals. But for these kinds of institutions like the PSNI to sit on young Noah Donohoe's life like this is beyond belief and many now agree it is Stephen Lawrence yet again'.

It is a widespread issue in Belfast in particular for children of all races- this has gone on for decades.

God bless you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻I think there approximately four/ five threads about Noah now. I did create one during the week he was missing but it was deleted. There is some information on this thread too www.mumsnet.com/Talk/craicnet/3951182-Noah-Donohoe?pg=8

I use ‘missing’ in the loosest term.

Another thread here:

Fiona's tweets are just heart wrenching - please sign the petition so that there is justice for Noah. Tell anyone you can about it and ask them to sign too.

Did MNHQ give a reason for your thread being deleted, Jamboree01 ?

RIP Noah x

None that I recall. I was heavily ‘criticised’ (trolled/ abused) on it. We get the same on Twitter… especially Fiona. There are ‘professional trolls’ on this. Frightened of the truth. Right from the get go.

He shone very brightly did lovely Noah.

Please help Fiona uncover the truth about her beloved child’s disappearance and death. Please, please sign the petition and share it with your family and friends.

Noah matters.

No mother should ever have to go through this. Fiona's strength, dignity and tenacity are incredible. She deserves answers.

Well, we've climbed up a little further so far tonight, with 304,176 people having signed Fiona's petition. 💙

I've posted links to all the other current threads about Noah near to the start of this thread. 💙

He surely did. He has touched so many hearts. So many love him and Fiona as their own. So many are fighting for them in any way they can 🙏🏻💙

Blessings are welcomed by all trying to do their bit, thank you, I'm sure, and, as a mother, what has happened to Fiona and Noah has me counting mine.

A post from Raymond Barr tonight. He has fought for Noah and Fiona since day one.

I think, if we start having to battle the Mumsnet algorithms with this thread - the 5 posts for Active the first petition thread needed and the AIBU thread usually needs now - I'll be tempted to close this thread and start another new one!
