No matter what we see in our job, no matter the circumstances, everyone who dies is someone’s child. Speaking as a Mum, there may be Mother’s who struggle, but there is not one who looks at their baby & doesn’t only want the very best for them and for them to be safe.
A Mother’s first instinct is to protect your child from harm. IMO, We need to speak to Mums, as a first point of contact, how can we help them? Help their child? What can we do to protect them from the gang, the peer pressure. All Mother’s want to keep their child safe.
Our children are born without prejudice, without hate. We can teach them to be kind. But, they get to an age where we can be powerless and that’s where the support is needed. We should be giving Mothers the confidence to speak to us about their concerns, so we can help protect.
Our children are our most precious things. They are the future. We need to find a way to protect them, to know their worth, to keep them on the right path.
Regardless of your colour, religion or anything else, your baby, is your baby and remain so forever.

Children are vulnerable. We need to stop grouping them. Treat them as individuals. We need to get to a point where as Mothers, we stick together, wherever we are from, to protect our children. We need to stop judging for the greater good and for the safety of our kids.
There are women who’ll be holding down multiple jobs, who can’t give the attention needed, women who are struggling, women who need help, advice. We need to stop turning our back and making a positive change. I’m a police officer but would never turn my back on a Mother in need.
We also need to acknowledge when our children take the wrong path. We need to accept it and take steps, as is out responsibility to protect them. But, support services need to step up.
We need to be better.
We need to be better.
