Yolanda 4 and Theo 2 were strangled to death with computer cable by their father as an act of revenge against their mother.  He choose this method of killing because the mother was using the internet for dating and it was a symbolic message.  He was jailed for 28 years. To me, this is the [...]

Hi Thomas, I bought some Easter Eggs for the other kids, don’t really believe in Easter but love the egg tradition.  We have one for you too.  I looked at the picture I have of you in the kitchen today and had tears in my eyes, I miss you so so much.  I hope you [...]

Thomas has been taken out of the country by his father.  He did not ask my permission and if he returns as stated on the contact order (that he has never adhered to) he has not broken criminal law.  However, he did not inform the school and Thomas has not attended school since 8th February [...]

Hi Thomas, How are you doing ?  I am writing to you instead of doing my course work, I will really have to stop putting it off, still I do think writing to you is more fun. I hope you are happy and healthy, I know you are not in Polruan at the moment but [...]

I spent some of the last 24 hours talking to Police, Social Services and the Education Welfare Officer trying to ascertain what I/we can do to find Thomas.  The Education Welfare Officer went to the house to check out why Thomas has not been in school since 8th February 2010 only to be told by [...]

I wish you strength, respect, courage and the grace to get through this day with love, be gentle with yourself. My thoughts are with you if you do not have your child/ren with you on Mother’s day.  I know it is no different from other days for us, we are not able to celebrate our [...]

I know it is really easy to blame, but I am going to point the finger at Thomas’s school for a moment.  After finding out yesterday from a concerned Head of Year that Thomas has not been in school for a little over a month now, I called the Deputy Head today to try and [...]

Last night Jane Moore’s documentary about Mothers who leave their children was aired.  I sat down to watch in the hope that she would uncover and show some understanding of what it is like to live without your children.  She didn’t.  It seems to me that she had set an agenda that the program was [...]
