      This is the first time I’ve heard of this and it’s heart breaking. This should be a national scandal but it isn’t because this kind of stuff must be happening a lot.

      Does anyone know whats going on with Nottingham NHS? Feels like so many stories like this coming from this one area lately.

      I read an article about this a day or two ago. It’s genuinely one of the most disgraceful things I’ve ever seen.

      I can’t imagine how terrified the mother and child must have been, sitting there, dying, hoping that help would eventually come.

      I really can’t even begin to think how scared that mother must have been for her child, knowing that if something happened to her, her daughter wouldn’t be able to help herself.

      I left one of those bunches of flowers.

      Used to live over the road, a good 15 years ago now, but I could see that house from my bedroom, probably long before they lived there. It’s absolutely tragic to think of what they both went through.

      A decade and a half later, I’m a parent to a disabled young boy, and what happened to them is my worst nightmare.

      Nobody will pay the price, nobody will see a day in a prison cell for 2 easily avoidable deaths.

      Honestly how can anyone have faith in our public services anymore? That story is an absolute fucking disgrace.

      And before anyone jumps in and tries to defend the good name of our public services by saying “they need more money”, no amount of money is going to fix the outright incompetence and negligence of that call handler

      What is the point in a child protection plan if the child is missing and you don’t follow up on that. Absolutely shocking and horrific.

      Call handlers need to be trained to send someone when they have the address.

      Entirely preventable deaths once again shrugged off by the NHS. Fucking hell what a grim article.

      I’ve been following the news about the mother and daughter all week, and this is genuinely one of the most heartbreaking and gut-wrenching articles I’ve ever read.

      I wanted to post this as I felt that this needed far more attention than what the press already gave it. They were both failed by ambulance services and social services. To think that the Jay Slater story received far more recognition from journalists than this story is incredibly offensive.

      The fruits of a failing support system and growing individualistic culture. We were supposed to look out for our neighbours and our communities but instead the powers that be have convinced us that those very people are our enemies.

      RIP to both of them. My heart breaks for that poor little girl.

      Why did they feel the need to broadcast her HIV status and also pat themselves on the back for fighting to be able to release it.

      Didn’t really add anything to the story as it was found to be irrelevant to the death so just randomly sharing her private info about a disease with stigma.

      This wasn’t just a preventable death it was an agonizing death.

      That girl lost her mother and was left alone, scared slowly starving to death. She probably called out for help and cried and screamed and no one was there for her. Not for hours, not days but weeks and months went by before anyone checked.

      All because a call handler didnt deal with the case properly. 2 deaths. Agonizing. Imagine it for a moment.
