Re Dv I dont have much faith in services ability 2 communicate effectively.
The courts & services imposed boundaries on my dv perp. Yesterday I was asked 2 re evaluate boundaries imposed because of the perps human rights so he can move back to Wrexham & get on with his life.
I agreed but do I feel good about it?
No.
Will he feel good about the fact hes got services to change the boundaries because its unfair to him.
Probably.
Its a game to him. Nothing more, nothing less.
Services could protect victims by working together, communicating and holding boundaries themselves. Its not my responsibility to do this.
Whats life like?
I have to carry a police alarm around with me even if its just moving from one room to another.
Police, Probation and Womens aid ask for safety improvements and the council says "no, too expensive" but they are happy to encourage victims of dv to go to a refuge and relocate somewhere else.
Surely making people safe in their own homes costs less than moving them and relocating them?
Reporting dv is tough because we feel so ashamed but time after time, even with a conviction the perps human rights mean more than their victims.
Im not being stubborn or awkward by refusing to move. My support network and family are here. Without them I know I would struggle and life wld be meaningless. I also have 2 dogs who cant be taken into a refuge. Mostly I love where I live & my town and people in it. Im sad today.
Nicky Crane my son went to the police station when I reported. He tried to ask for help because he knew this man had tried to kill his mum by strangling her and putting a pillow over her face.
. This man lived in a shed in my garden without my knowledge for 2 days when I asked him to leave. This man creapt into my room and hid in my room and I was naked before I realised he was there. This man has entered my home 3 times and attacked me for breaking up with him.
This man threatened to rape my mum while my dad watched and watched my mum and dads house enough 2 send me texts about how dangerous it was for them 2 keep their windows open. He sent texts telling us what cars visited their house. This man is threatened my brother and his family
My bro doesnt feel safe bringing his kids to visit us anymore.
But we are the ones that are asked to accommodate his needs because not allowing him to access parts of Wrexham means we are not allowing him his human rights.
