Hi. I am scared not long after my last post I have received a message from my mum. Her windows have been smashed, all three of the front ones. I had to get there as quick as I could.
The police have said they are busy to attend at the moment. I don’t know what to do.
The windows have completely gone.
Social services will be getting it tomorrow. No effing safeguarding risk is there when he has made a million threats. When this has happened.
It was the ex that has done this. The one that raped her, she reported him to the police.
If you are worried he’ll return, take your Mum to the police station.
Select one of the organisations listed here re advice and regarding emergency accommodation.
Take photos of the damage.
Contact the police and ask when they are able to send someone and explain the windows will need boarding up and the house isn’t secure until this is done nor safe for your Mum.
Some glaziers offer 24/7 boarding up services and could do this until the glass can be replaced.
If your Mum is in rented accommodation then she needs to be contacting the landlord.
The landlord has been contacted, they are going to be coming first thing in the morning to board the windows up.
I am at the proprety now, but I need the police to come. I have work in the morning and I can’t stay up all night waiting for them. My old room isn’t available to sleep in as the property is being sorted and there is furniture in my room which needs moving. I have work first thing in the morning and we are already two staff members out of 4 down. We even have a new starter tomorrow too.
Mum is fast asleep whilst I am waiting. It’s scary, to think the house is exposed even with me in here it’s not safe. If he comes back he has easy entry. We have already established that nothing is treated as an emergency in the area.
What a world we live in when you ring 999 and the police say they are busy? They have even told me it is high priority. At the moment it feels like the purge.
The damage is very serious and is not caused by someone throwing stones. The impact has gone through both layers of double glazing. It looks like it has been hit with something.
Mum says the guy may have done it whilst drunk since he is always drunk. So he is probably drunk driving too.
I feel very vulnerable here myself.
I swear that social services will be getting a stern telling off first thing tomorrow, and I will be demanding they take proper action. I will also go to the department for health and social care because they have failed to act when there is written proof that they know what is going on. What good is a damn action plan when they have done nothing to enforce it? Now this has happened. As far as I am concerned his actions are no longer empty threats now and by failing to act on the things they said they would this has happened.
I hate to sound like I am whinging and moaning, but I thought the word emergency services meant emergency services.
5 hours later there are still no signs of the police despite being “high priority.” I have called the non emergency line and I have I told them that mum is vulnerable and the house is exposed. They said they are still trying to get someone down to deal with it but their services are stretched. I know crime is bad in the area but bloody hell.
Why are services so shocking lately? The police even had the audacity to say that if the man comes back to ring them again and they will “try” to attend. Try being the key word, not definitely. Shall we roll out the red carpet leading to the window? Sorry about the frustration. When I said she was vulnerable in the house, they said “why doesn’t she stay with you?” I told them, I live in a shared place. I don’t have any room. It’s an absolute joke. I don’t know what type of dystopian world we live in but just wow.
I have even contacted hull adult safeguarding and they have said that the police should have responded or helped her. They haven’t. They just said they will contact mums social worker in the morning. Fat lot of good that will do.
Hi. Still nothing. I can’t do this.I fell asleep and then I woke up with a major panic attack. I was shaking uncontrollably and had an intense cold spell. I kept feeling like I was going to pass out and die. I was struggling to breathe too and was really gasping for air. I ended up being sick. I had to take a couple of my medicines to calm down. I don’t want to go into work in a few hours but I have to because there is no one to cover me.
This is the issue. Services aren’t helping. I feel left to do it all. I can’t cope. What do you do when you can’t even rely on the police or anyone. Mum needs to stop meeting these idiots, she really does. I can’t take her off social media though. She just seems to run in the direction of idiots.
12 hours later still no word from the police. Someone has gone round to board the windows up. I have been advised to make a complaint about the police and how they have failed to respond.
Sounds like all you can do. What a nightmare.
What time of day did it happen. Did any of the neighbours hear or see anything?
Does anyone in the street have a Ring doorbell or CCTV?
