Heartbreaking that police officers fail to enter a flat where a child is slowly dying frightened & alone.Heartbreaking that at another force officers fail to attend a 999 call where 2 children are fatally wounded.Sleep softly you deserved so much more.

Paul - my son - my boy.Eternally 9 but would be 19 today.10 years too long having to live without you.I held you first- so tightly- and held you last.You used to look at the sky & stars to create pictures and dreams in them.Sleep softly in my love.Always

Join me on the 8th December and let's start talking and challenging Abuse together.

A mum from #Penistone is calling for changes to family courts, after her two young sons were killed by her ex-husband.

Our Senior Reporter Chris Davis Smith spoke to Claire Throssell…

.Claire Throssell MBE has suffered the most unimaginable pain, after her two beautiful boys, Jack & Paul, were cruelly murdered by their own father.
As always my thoughts are with Claire. In November’s JournoWavePod Claire tells me why it’s so important her voice is heard.

We rock our children to sleep as babies.Sing them back to sleep after nightmares.But nothing prepares you to hold them in your arms so tightly to fall into eternal sleep.There are shelves full of books telling you how to raise a child.But none telling you how to live without them

Sometimes we have to stand up for what we believe in. All governments need to remember that every decision and action they take has consequences.We must be the voice for the voiceless and defend the defenceless #child -first-safe-child-contact-saves-lives

This October marks nine years since her sons, Jack and Paul, were killed by their father on an unsupervised contact visit. We will never forget them. Please sign the petition below you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/chil…’

Every decision made by government has a consequence to others.Sometimes we have to stand up for what we believe in.For the voiceless - the defenceless.Every child deserves a safe & happy childhood & every child deserves to live.

These two mums have suffered the most unimaginable of pain.
For #JoanLawrence - her d’ter #ClaudiaLawrence disappeared in 2009. Claire Throssell MBE’s sons, Jack & Paul, were murdered by their own father. It is an honour to work with them both on a new project for Sheffield Journalism

Isolation,stigma & shame is what victims of sexual assault are left with.Only to be retraumatised & humiliated again telling a stranger in uniform.Asking you questions and trust that they believe you.Afraid,uncertain,harmed & alone.Attitudes towards victims & abuse must change.
