Victim of/Witness to ASB?

[Saint_clark]

If you've been a victim to antisocial behaviour which has led to a conviction and found the after-support inadequate, or know of anyone in this situation, then please sign the below petition;

http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/ASBPolicyReview/

 

A family member who was attacked a while ago was treated with complete indifference when she asked for treatment, after finding she had developed a mild agoraphobia.

This petition is asking for a review into the policies of all local authorities on situations like this.

It is slightly more in-depth on the link above. Please note - the deadline for this is midnight tonight.

To dismiss such psychological conditions as those felt by victims of abuse is pretty ignorant tbh.

Well if the victim was a veteran from Afghan I would agree with you, however when the victim is an old woman...

[hypochondriac]

Was your family member an old woman?

Was your family member an old woman?

 

Yes.

[hypochondriac]

Yes.

 

Fair play. Carry on.

[Saint_clark]

Thanks for the green light.

I'd love to sign but unfortunately I'm neither old nor female. I feel the phrase man up applies to me when feelings are involved so I can't help you out. I'm so sorry.

[Saint_clark]

Fair enough. I did say "if you have..." not, "sign here now".

Duly noted. I hope there are a glut of signatures thanks to the publicity I have given this thread.

Have one of these number10 petitions ever worked, there must be millions of them.

Mild agoraphobia? I get major agoraphobia every time I get my commuter train into London, mainly because there are always some pikeys on it. I just get on with things.

 

Seriously, how much do you think the state should stump up for some shrinks to talk to people on that? Where does it all stop? Why should the government step in and sort out everyone's problems? I get stressed out about having to conform to society and get up before midday every day, should I get counselling?

PS I won't be signing the petition and hypo's original post was spot on

I spose that's the advice you'd give to your gran if she were ever attacked ?

[Rattlehead]

It's the only way grans learn.

My gran is nails. Her nickname isn't rambo for nothing.

Really? You become afraid of wide open spaces when in a confined space with pikeys? Is it the worry that you may end up more than 10 feet away from one of them?

[Rattlehead]

I suggest you look up the definition of agoraphobia.
