I’m sorry but most of this is factually incorrect. You cannot force a victim to behave a certain way. This is a victimless prosecution & he can change his version of events as he likes.
as for any potential self-harm for her-that would be for the defence to produce as a defence/mitigation.Any medical treatment for her following arrest will be part of the custody record as part of police’s duty to ensure her wellbeing whilst in custody. However it won’t be for the prosecution to disclose as part of their case.
There is a much higher threshold for sectioning than this. People attend A&E every day with suicide/self harm attempts much worse than this & are just sent away. The NHS is quite stretched in case u hadnt noticed. Also are you aware what sectioning means legally?
I’m all for a good gossip but this isn’t factually correct.
Totally agree. To get somebody sectioned is so hard. You need an AMPH, seen 2 drs within 5 days and proof of lack of capacity and a mental health diagnosis. I stopped taking my medication once and sprung into mania and then psychosis. It took 3 weeks to section me and that was after chasing the post man down the road with a knife, didn’t eat for weeks as I thought everybody was trying to poison me, screaming at people in Asda, spending 2 grand on trainers, thinking I had super powers and knew where maddy mccan was, flashing my
bits at the neighbours and found hanging in the woods and being cut down. Obviously I am absolutely fine now because I’m on medication. But my family spent weeks trying to get me on a section and I was
bleeping cookoo and nearly actually died. Sorry for TMI but this is the reality of sectioning. They have such strict rules as the person being sectioned not only cost the tax payer thousands, but can appeal the section dragging it through tribunal - which can imagine happens quite often as people that are very ill, often think they are not.
