My sister is a nurse, her youngest daughter has tried several times to take her own life after a very traumatic incident last year. Her specific support is now patchy, she has no actual contact with her friends, stuck in a tiny overcrowded terraced house.

Why couldn’t she bring my niece to me? I have acres of land. I am a recently retired maths teacher. We have spare rooms, a gym separate from the house, animals etc. My niece likes it here, we can look after her. She is 14 years old! Why not? BECAUSE IT WAS AGAINST THE LOCKDOWN.

Meanwhile my sister goes to work, worried about her daughter. She goes every single day to do her bit. The court date for the aggressor is somewhere in the distance. The Police told them not to access specific external support in case it affects the case and her as a witness.

My niece now has terrible days and not so bad days. She tries not to self destruct. What about her safety? Her health?
CUMMINGS IS NOT ALLOWED TO PULL THE KID CARD. Every kid and parent in every town and city is sacraficing. How bloody dare he and how dare Johnson defend it.

Do they think this will blow over? Do they think we,the people of this country mean nothing? We are the heart and soul of this country, not them. Then to lie on top of it all, to not even prepare for a briefing. This is unforgivable on every single level.
