POLICE IGNORED FAMILY'S PLEA FOR HELP, TRAGEDY RESULTS

Mom Killed Self, Daughter After Years of Abuse by Ganghttp://news.aol.com/article/inquest-told-fiona-pilkington-killed/677119


AOL News(Sept. 18) - A coroner expressed outrage Friday that police did nothing to protect a woman who killed herself and her teenage daughter after years of being tormented by a gang of local youths.
Fiona Pilkington, 38, set fire to her parked car on Oct. 24, 2007 while she and her severely disabled daughter, Francecca Hardwick, 18, known as Frankie, sat inside with the family's pet rabbit, an inquest jury heard.

THE FOLLOWING IS A POLL BY AOL, WITH RESULTS EVEN I WAS SHOCKED AT. I KNEW THE NUMBER WOULD BE HIGH, BUT 70%. AND SURE, THERE ARE SOME WHO COMPLAIN ABOUT EVERYTHING, BUT THAT NUMBER SHOULD BE BALANCED OUT BY THOSE "PATRIOTIC" AMERICANS WHO BELIEVE TO QUESTION GOVERNMENT IS TO BE UNPATRIOTIC, AND THOSE WHO ARE TOO COWED BY AUTHORITY FIGURES TO COMPLAIN, ETC.

Please share your opinions in a mature manner, and keep it clean. If you're angry, express it, but don't go off on a tangent and rage. If you disagree, do so respectfully, without personal assault on another commentor (or me - if you don't like me, don't read me). Rant against government reps/public figures if you wish, but keep it legitimate and relevant. No racial/sexual/religious etc etc slurs - ie no discrimination against a group in general (except, for example, Congress, big media, etc). Within respectable boundaries, I really do appreciate your comments and welcome differing points of view. The entire point is to see all sides, all our options, and try to wade through the deceptions and bullcrap in general, and decide for ourselves what is true so we are making informed and intelligent decisions.
