This, in the news is breaking my heart.
I hope she comes home safe soon - but every passing day is such a worry.

GrammyGrammy- I can’t remember when I last reported a post but I’m reporting yours

Thank you.

Germanshepherdsmum Sun 19-Feb-23 19:21:57

I have also reported your totally inappropriate comments.

GrammyGrammy how about you wind your neck in and try to be more polite?
Have your opinion without being obnoxious would be a start.

If I didn’t know better I’d question your motives.
This thread has lasted days with respectful comments.
Are you trying to get this thread taken down?

Reporting is just virtue signalling.

We’re all capable of deciding whether or not a poster is deliberately trying to offend or just has an opinion that will most likely be unpopular.

If you must report why not keep quiet about it?

Reporting somebody for a post you find offensive and not admitting that you’ve done so is cowardly. Reporting the post and saying so surely shows you have the courage of your convictions, but call it virtue signalling if you want, better that than cowardly I think.

Grammygrammy horrible spiteful posts from you, why?

M0nica Sun 19-Feb-23 19:38:35

mumogmadboys Sorry to contradict you, Ben Needham has not been found. A full search followed the deathbed confession and nothing was found. Last year Ben's parents made another appeal on the 31 anniversary of his disappearance. www.thestar.co.uk/news/people/ben-needham-family-of-sheffield-boy-who-went-missing-31-years-ago-given-hope-by-miracle-reunion-3933835

Hollysteers We have no details, and there has never been any suggestion that she might have committed suicide and you should not promulgate ideas, that may be whizzing around 'social media' I do not know, I do not look at it, but have no basis in fact.

It is unfortunate that the police released the information they did, because it would inevitably lead to the kinds of unsubstantiated rumours that you mention flying around.

BlueBelle Sun 19-Feb-23 19:46:12

Grammygrammy you weren't relaxed and chatting you were being extremely nasty in some of your comments
This is a delicate thread and everyone has been supportive and kind until you waded in with your opinions of police /experts and even people on here
As you have have said folk here are not your type of people so may I respectfully suggest you find a different forum to write your judgemental opinions on

Urmstongran Sun 19-Feb-23 19:47:14

I choose not to engage with you further GrammyGrammy.
No reporting from me.
I prefer to let your posts stand.
You did make a valid point in one to be honest.

Sorchame Sun 19-Feb-23 19:48:59

Heartbreaking news.
Hope against hope that there would be a different outcome. Thoughts and prayers for her family.
Now let them have privacy to grieve.
RIP Nicola x

Very sad news.

Germanshepherdsmum Sun 19-Feb-23 20:28:01

I’m amazed that ^GrammyGrammy*’s vile posts haven’t been deleted. Disgraceful.

Anniebach Sun 19-Feb-23 20:45:20

I don’t think it’s suicide.

GrammyGrammy Sun 19-Feb-23 20:47:04

If you look at the photo in the media of the two people who found the body. One is low down on the bank pointing to the location of the body. Photos released soon after show the police trampling all over the bank from the road and wall- absolutely wrecking a police crime scene with forensic evidence of a body dumped via that route. I stand by my original comments about the police being idiots. I hope I'm wrong. But they would cover it up if they've messed up again, anyway.

It certainly wasn’t meant to be “a cruel comment” - just a fairly reasonable remark. Why do you assume I have no empathy? If I have been upset by something, I tend to avoid it from then on, to avoid further upset.

If I have been upset by something, I tend to avoid it from then on, to avoid further upset.

With respect, who knows how the grieving process works for others?

Those posting are among friends - some of whom know of their initial trauma.

... and they are also raising awareness of the devastation caused by an incident like this one. And that is never a bad thing. Especially in the current climate in the NHS where MH services are dire. It's from these kinds of comments and discussions that people band together and form action groups.

I understand why you'd want to avoid posts about something that's upset you, but we are all different, so if people react in a way that you don't understand, just be mindful of the fact that it can be something of a release if people can talk about their own experiences.

I don’t think it’s suicide.

Nor do I Annie. Women don't let their dog run loose and leave them in danger. He would be left safely back in the car.

Sarah75 Sun 19-Feb-23 20:49:05

Anniebach

I don’t think it’s suicide.

What makes you think that, Annie?

Urmstongran Sun 19-Feb-23 20:52:13

I hope the Coroner will be able to enlighten us in due course. They will know if foul play is indicated or not.

Anniebach I hate to think it’s suicide. But who knows? Nicola might have felt shamed by the Police visiting her house a couple of weeks before her disappearance. She had time to ruminate on the reason for that call out, which made her vulnerable. Anxiety on such a scale can play havoc with someone’s emotional state.j

Urmstongran Sun 19-Feb-23 20:55:45

People who take their own lives are not thinking rationally. The usual niceties in life, responsibilities, straight thinking all go out of the window.

Patsy70 Sun 19-Feb-23 21:01:46

Anniebach, neither do I.

mumofmadboys Sun 19-Feb-23 21:02:13

Monica -thanks for the correction. I have obviously remembered it wrongly. Apologies.

BlueBelle Sun 19-Feb-23 21:02:53

I m afraid I do think it was suicide when it first happened I was talking to a psychologist friend and I said it can’t be suicide she wouldn’t leave those little girls and she replied it’s the very reason she would, because many women /mothers who are depressed or have mental health issues believe their children would be better off without them, they feel they are harming their child with their problems

Urmstongran Sun 19-Feb-23 21:28:52

Skewed thinking indeed BlueBelle and beyond heartbreaking to think that way. Those poor girls would be overjoyed if their mummy walked in tonight. Such a tragedy she believed otherwise.

Anniebach Sun 19-Feb-23 21:42:49

BlueBell definitely true that there are mothers who take their lives for the reason you gave.
