Dr Suzanne Dow: Was 33 years old.
Denied help from the Police?
Dr Suzanne Dow.Headlines read,
Council failed terrified Dr Suzanne Dow.
The following report: It was entitled 'by the media', as someone hounded to death by the neighbours from hell, (Media words).
Both Police and Councils should take decisive actions against suspected drug dealers, users, and of those that grow them indoors.
The lady in question:
Dr Suzanne Dow, a lecturer at Nottingham University.
Cries For Help:
On the 15th of September, 2011, she wrote a letter to her local council.
Detailing three years of harassment by her next door neighbours, twins Daryl and Gaynor Robinson, plus the latter’s teenage son Liam Peach.
Gaynor had several convictions for smuggling heroin and shoplifting.
Suzanne explained that after moving into the two-bedroom house in a suburb of Beeston, she had found hypodermic needles in her garden.
She'd had to call the police on several occasions due to the noise of violence from next door.
During one violent episode, Daryl told her to call the police, but then Gaynor had pressured Suzanne to withdraw her statement.
Councils, No Help:
Suzanne had attempted to move, but found no-one willing to take her home.
She was unfortunately, TRAPPED, and the councils refuse to help in these situations.
They give that power to the police, and they rarely have enough information, or time to be bothered!
She had become mentally exhausted, and it beggars belief that people are shocked when someone decides to commit suicide, because its their only way out.
But without the Police or Councils bothering to get involved, they feel they have no other choice.
It should be stated here, that the police have the power to recommend to the council that they move someone away as their life is in some danger.
However it seems that no such case exists, in fact most of these cases appear to result in suicide, or other forms of death becoming an outcome.
The UK seems to have lost most of its diplomacy, by its complete lack of control over those that are paid to protect us.
CONSTANTLY THREATENED BY VIOLENCE!
Vandalism: Suzanne suffered some wiring outside her house being slashed, and Gaynor taunted her to look at the graffiti written on her wall.
Her bicycle had been stolen and she noticed that the frame was in their garden.
She had been subjected to a torrent of unprovoked verbal abuse along with the constant threats of violence.
In the letter she explained how her health was suffering, although councils tend to either ignore or not bother to react with any empathy.
Her emails, simply went unanswered.
Trapped:
She was frequently woken and quite often not able to sleep, which prevented her from working.
The outside space was a no go, due to the noise and foul language, along with verbal abuse and the talk of drugs.
It became impossible to invite friends over, due to the possibility of them overhearing bad conversations.
Daryl had been issued an eviction notice, but it was not enacted for 12 months.
When Suzanne was informed of this, she knew that she couldn't last that long.
So when she returned home she took an overdose of drugs, and ended her sad and troubled life.
No Safety Nets:
This was yet again a failure of services.
The facts are already known in this case, and her life was clearly in danger.
The police have the power to recommend that someone in danger can be moved away.
Yet as always no-one will ever take the initiative, because no-one bothers to take any responsibility.
Suicide is not a cowards way out, and neither is it brave. It's actually a desperate act from which there is no return.
However, it is an act that is routinely taken, and its one enacted after services such as the Police and Council fail to assist them!
The police and the council should be made to answer for all these failings ... SO, HOW MANY MORE?
A change of rules, and even in some cases the enforcement of their own rules would help.
It appears that all of these incidents reflect a growing trend to both ignore, and even quite often, just blame the victim!
Making homes easier to exchange, and possibly offering them a newly empty property might have worked, if anyone would even bother to care?
Had that been done, Suzanne would still be with us..! And clearly she was an asset to this country, and didn't deserve to be ignored and suffer like this!
RIP.
Harassment:
The act of tormenting someone by continued persistent attacks and criticism can trigger many forms of mental conditions.
Even though there are many other reasons for this illness.
A number of factors can contribute, such as...
(1) Early traumatic experiences, such as abuse, sexual assault, witnessing violence.
(2) Ongoing chronic medical conditions, such as cancer or diabetes.
(3) Biological factors, such as genes or chemical imbalances in the brain.
(4) Misuse of alcohol, or recreational drugs.
(5) Having very few or even no friends.
(6) Loneliness and isolation.
Talk, Reach Out:
Suicide is never an answer to anything.
Which is why a sufferer should seek help, and talk to someone.
Many deaths from suicide could have easily been averted, if only the right words had been spoken.
It's surprising how understanding people can sometimes be, because many have been there themselves.
In Suzannes case, the police and Council were directly responsible for failing her.
Their job description is to 'PROTECT' and serve..!
These failings may not affect some, but people like myself, can only wish they that could have been there to help.
Even if you don't feel any empathy towards victims, and yet you work within the authoritative systems, then think of your own family, would you let them suffer?
It's really easy to ignore, and to just look the other way, but that makes you part of the problem, and it also becomes a part of your own inheritance?
ONE LIFE LOST, IS ONE TOO MANY!
