Another victim has taken her own life. Why did she have to move and leave her support network? Why was her life and community less valuable than a child rapists? How can anyone make sense of this insanity, why has an inquest only started now?

Shame on the police, courts, social housing and all who failed her. Rest in peace Charlotte.

Ffs!

The poor thing. It's disgraceful how we as a society let those girls down.

They were let down two fold.
1 because the police had some idiotic idea that they'd be called racist - like they normally care - if the men were prosecuted.
2 because girls (kids in general) and women don't matter, and especially those who are less well off.
It makes my blood boil when I think of how these girls were treated.
The poor kid! My thoughts go to her family and friends 🤍

That’s so unbelievably sad. RIP Charlotte, you were so badly let down.

Good grief - so many warnings there - poor poor poor woman

The mental health care of women and girls who have experienced sexual abuse as children, is so poor that it being none existent would be an improvement.

RIP Charlotte. Totally and utterly failed by those meant to protect you and the other children.

These women have been abandoned and let down for so many years. What an awful indictment of our society.

I'm so sorry Charlotte, you were let down and left to it.

RIP Charlotte, Let down badly by systems that should have been protecting you, hope she’s in peace now

Charlotte Tetley — failed and failed again.

So what I understand is that she in July 2023 she was forced to move out of Rochdale to Macclesfield because her abuser returned to the area.

Why on earth was she uprooted and destabilised, rather than the man who destroyed her life being restricted or moved? Never mind, I know why...

Charlotte had a long history of suicide attempts and trauma. Despite that, she was discharged from A&E and told she didn’t need an inpatient bed — even though she had said she was thinking of jumping in front of a train. She was even removed from the inpatient bed list before a mental health professional reviewed her that same day.

She was repeatedly classed as high-risk, yet the police decided not to send anyone. The ambulance service also refused to deploy because “her location wasn’t known” — even though she was known to be suicidal and vulnerable.

It’s a catalogue of failures, stacked on top of everything she had already endured as a child in the Rochdale grooming scandal. She bore the lifelong consequences of what was done to her, compounded by a system that continued to let her down over and over.

May she finally have the peace she never had in life.

Bless you, Charlotte. I’m so sorry we failed you.

@Barr77 If you google her name and University of Greater Manchester you will find a long interview with her about her mental health struggles. I will not post here because it is incredibly heartbreaking and too much. She tried so fucking hard every day for so long. She loved her child, she wanted to live. She was abused by male Police officers when she was seriously mentally ill and then denied single sex services and was frightened by the male therapist.
Charlotte deserved to live and see her child grew, her mother deserved her daughter and her child it's mother.
Every service neglected its duties and no one could see her. It is heartbreaking.

God, how very sad. Poor woman.

I’m simultaneously incredibly sad and absolutely furious. She was SO badly let down over and over and over again.

RIP Charlotte. You deserved so much more.

RIP Charlotte. I'd like to think think poor Charlotte's death may hold a spotlight up to all the victims of rape gangs and result in better care for and recognition of all survivors. I won't hold my breath though. Very sad

I had to stand up and kick something when I read your post. Charlotte wasn’t a “lost cause” — she loved her child, she wanted to live, and she kept reaching out for help. And at every stage she was betrayed. For some reason I had a vision of The Prince of Verona from Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet bellowing— “All are punished” . I wish everyone involved who played a part are serves justice and held to account, but I won’t hold my breath.

Many people in authority have blood on their hands.
Each and everyone of them must be put in front of the courts to face justice 😡

I am so sorry, poor Charlotte.

It's so heartbreaking. The abusers should move and stuff any impact on their wider family or community. THEY caused that impact. The victims should get to stay in their community.

I do not understand why this isn't the case? I really want people to lose their jobs over the failure to prioritise Charlotte. They deserve to.

Absolutely tragic. These women and girls have been let down time and time again. The police officers who added to her trauma instead of protecting her are absolute scum.

How very sad. Hope she is at peace now. Disgraceful how she was let down.

I hope the inquest is thorough but I have no faith whatsoever

Absolutely heartbreaking. Poor Charlotte, let down by everyone who should have helped and protected her.
