The Devastating Death Of Emily Jones

Bolton, 2020. When 7-year-old Emily Jones went to the park with her father on Mother's Day, she was excited to see her mom there and ride around the park on her scooter. The peace and quiet of that afternoon would be shattered when a shocking and brutal act of violence was carried out.

The man who ran after the perpetrator and pinned her down is a true example of “not all hero’s wear capes.” I believe that if he hadn’t risked his own life for the justice and protection of those around him, that she never would have been found or convicted as the police force are also a struggling sector. It’s devastating to hear that another incident like this has to happen to show that the mental health sector is woefully underfunded, and crying out for help and a complete overhaul. My heart goes out to Emily and her family 💔 rest in peace little one.

I agree. There should be three things considered in prosecuting and sentencing a crime: 1.) the crime/outcome itself--what happened and what was the result? 2.) the intent/situation--were there extenuating circumstances which make this understandable, an isolated incident, an accident, etc.? (This is where the "justice" comes into play--what's a just punishment?) 3.) the danger one poses to others in the future-- regardless of illness, "diminished capacity," etc., can they be trusted to be out and about ever? If not, they should never be free.

As someone who takes medication and struggles with mental health every day for over 40 years, I find this horrifying. I'm very torn with things like this. I mean, we don't allow alcohol or drugs to be used as an excuse for murder. Should someone who chooses not to take their medication, plans a murder, carries it out, and has no remorse be allowed to use her mental health as an excuse? A minimum of 10 years is just ... well, stupid.

[@lisakain1517]

​@@CW-rx2jsYou are right.... schizophrenia is much different. My son has it and is an adult. He will take medication for a short time and then starts thinking he is being poisoned and stops taking it. We haven't found any medications that work on the severe paranoia he experiences. Have gone through this for years and my heart breaks for him. He has moments of clarity but one little thing will trigger this horrible mental illness. I pray someday there will be a way to truly help him and everyone who has schizophrenia.... it's horrible for those who have it and others affected by it

@@lisakain1517 When I look at my very normal sons and grandchildren, I give thanks that they have no mental or physical problems. But I feel for those who are not as lucky as our family has been. I had a sister who had what is now known as Asperger’s syndrome, but in 1933 when she was born, Doctors knew that she had a high I.Q., very unsocial tendencies, but they had no name for what ailed her. She couldn’t handle being in a room with large numbers of people, and during her school years, in the classroom she was totally withdrawn. Her marks were excellent, but it was always noted on her report cards that she did not participate in school, or classroom activities. Of course she was shunned by her classmates, but there was nothing anyone could do about that. She was the oldest in our family, and although I was the youngest, 10 years separating us, I always felt very protective of her. My mother and father were very loving and kind to her, and the other members of our family, so we were truly blessed. We lived in a village in Ireland, where families looked out for each other, and were kind and caring of those who faced difficulties in their lives. I hope and pray that one day researchers will discover just what causes Schizophrenia and other debilitating mental disorders, and find a cure that will give those people affected a normal life. God Bless you and all your family. Greetings from Canada.🇨🇦

I met a man once at a drug crisis center, it was on the same campus as the shelter, and a this man would agree to live under the crisis centers rules to avoid the shelter, which is a nasty place (all men's shelters tend to be bad). I became friendly with him and after some days, he told me about why he was there. He lost all will to work and do anything after losing his own young daughter. A man had a psychotic break, schizophrenia hit him later than usual, no drugs or anything. He suddenly thought demons were coming for him and everyone else. He grabbed one demon, stabbed it, cut it's head off. In reality, it was this little girl. He said to me he feels individuals like this should be locked away forever like any murderer. I didn't debate the point with him at all because it'd be cruel, but I think it's a lot more nuanced than that. This lady here... It sounds like she wanted to kill a human. But people who just have psychosis hit them out of nowhere, and do something, having no idea what they've done... Someone like that, if they can later be made to be safe, actually safe... I dunno. Hard calculus to be done and it should be done case by case for sure. This lady seems just evil to me. But the guy in the story I'm mentioning? Much more complex

Forgiveness is a complex thing. I certainly wouldn't judge anyone who doesn't forgive. I would struggle to forgive too. I admire those who are able to and choose to forgive though, for the sole reason that forgiveness means cutting all emotional ties. Without forgiveness, the person who wronged us remains a part of our lives. They continue to occupy our thoughts and emotions. We carry the memory of who they were and what they did in our bodies. Once we forgive, we can let go, and they are gone. Their existence becomes irrelevant. In a tragic situation as this, I would aim for forgiveness, but goodness knows if I'd be successful in that.

[@samanthaeduardamoreira1630]

Me and my sister have schizophrenia. I grew up with her and my controversial opinion is that she was dangerous because of her personality and not because of her mental health issue. The mental health issues bring on mostly paranoia and haluccinations. The decision to harm was only hers. She stabbed me in the head and attacked our father. I never felt like physically harming anyone. You can be paranoid and not be murderous. I take olanzapine and others. My sister committed suicide in 2020. I am only speaking on this issue based on my own experience. Relapses are real when medications are stopped. However, schyzofrenia can't be an excuse for murder. That said, prison is not the solution here unless the woman can be medicated in prison. If not, she might die in prison. If she doesn't, she will be freed in 10 years and she will kill again. In my opinion, she needs to be committed to a high security mental health facility for the rest of her life. There is no cure for schizofrenia and in particular, there is no cure for her violent nature. If anything we could conclude that not all schyzofrenic people are violent. Some of use are very troubled but peacefull. However, when violent, they are dangerous and lethal.

The coroner was talking out of his a*se. There were plenty of red-flags in the weeks, month and years prior to her attacking a young child in the park but nobody was listening. This highlights the problem with care in the community and especially the care for people suffering from mental health. When I worked in community care I remember visiting one young chap who used to squat in the corner of the room of his house and in total darkness. He was totally in fear of the world around him, but couldn’t say exactly what it was he feared. He was grateful when we eventually got him back into the local mental health ‘arc’. Sadly, there are many people who cannot cope with living in the community. I am glad that life inside an institution is a lot better now than it was in the days of the asylums, but we tend now to treat people with delusion only at the times when their delusion is at its worse and then when they learn to say the right things to the doctor they send them home and back to face the fears that sent them to hospital in the first place. At home there is nobody to encourage them to take their medication, especially if the care workers cannot access the home. I’m also guessing that the team that were charged with ‘monitoring’ Eltiona in the community, had limited training on how to deal with people with mental health issues. They probably breathed a sigh-of-relief when their knocking went unanswered. Of course, NHS England and the Department of Health will say they are reviewing their procedures and that will be the last comment they make on this issue until the next time something like this happens. The present system clearly isn’t fit for purpose. As always happens, you have these departments making excuses for the fact they failed in their duty-of-care. Eltiona Skana (Red Flags) *March 2015: Her mental health was not in a good place.

Granted leave by the hospital she ran away. *August 2015: Released because her feelings about her neighbours trying to steal her thoughts weren’t as potent as they had been a few weeks before. *November 2015: Taken off medication because she didn’t like it. *December 2015: She was having auditory hallucinations on a daily basis. *January 2017: Refused to meet with her care co-ordinator and did not attend any scheduled meetings. Her sister was greatly concerned about her mental health. *February 2017: Attacked her mother in the belief that mom’s death would solve all her problems. Attacked mom with an iron, stabbed her in the hand but was interrupted by a friend so didn’t succeed in killing mom. Arrested and detained under the Mental Health Act. *Between Feb and May 2017: Left the hospital (where she was being detained) without permission and went to a house at 5am to speak to a 13 year old child. She was armed with a knife. *May 2017: Deemed fit for release from the hospital. *March 2018: Not feeling well, she requested to go back on injections. Says she’s having hallucinations again. *11 March 2020: First meeting with her mental health worker in three months and also her last. *22 March 2020: Arrested in the park having murdered a six year old child. She has wire around her toes, yet the doctor who examined her didn’t think this pointed to any form of mental disorder??? I can hear the sound of stable doors being locked shut whilst the stallion who recently resided there is nowhere to be seen.

[@neuropsychologist]

If anyone has a family member who „hears voices“ they are potentially having a psychosis. Over a very short period of time ( a handful of weeks) this can develop into full blown psychosis/schizophrenia - if untreated. This woman‘s sister contradicts herself: on the one hand she says her sister was behaving strangely, hearing voices and disconnecting boilers etc. Then the same sister says the psychiatrist is wrong? A psychiatrist has studied the brain and hearing voices is highly predictive of psychosis. Antipsychotics work on the specific doperminergic pathways to control brain signalling and functioning. There are side effects as the same doperminergic pathways control other aspects of functioning. It is so difficult to manage whilst drugs are still in the developmental stage to be more target specific on brain proteins. After over 1,000,000 research reports no cure has been found for psychosis - only treatments to alleviate this terrible brain disease. There are different typeset psychosis too, drug induced or brain disorder through disease. 1-3.5% of the population are diagnosed/suffering with psychosis/schizophrenia, so please be assured that most harm is self inflicted through suicide and self harm rather than attacks like presented here. RIP little angel. It‘s truly heartbreaking the unexpectedness of your passing and my heart goes out to her parents who clearly loved this little girl very much. Any parent that encourages their child NOT to take antipsychotics should be investigated as they interrupting the treatment of a very serious condition. If the mother as alleged in this upload said her daughter did not require the treatment when she is not a doctor then she should be charged in this case. That is care in the community.

I also disagree when they're saying she shouldn't have been allowed asylum. She was literally SOLD to her dad's loanshark. Emily's father wanting to push for improvement in mental health services is a wonderful response and the most sensible thing said in this video. All the officials use Skana as a scapegoat, but there were plenty of warning signs and she didnt get the help she very OBVIOUSLY needed. Typical that no one wants to take responsibility for such a shocking failing of services with previous red flags everywhere.

Oh my goodness this was a hard one… my heart breaks for Emily’s parents and family, teachers and school mates as well as their community. Losing a child is horrible in any way but to lose your child like this?? Unbelievable. Her parents show what strength truly is. They used their pain to fuel their fight for justice for Emily and raise awareness about how the mental health system has been and did fail. The perpetrator should never have been able to get to a point in her mental health to do this ESPECIALLY since she had mental health care. She had access. Her providers were doing the bare minimum to push through their caseload and weren’t paying attention to her situation. You can’t tell me that after not being on her medication for over a month they didn’t see a marked difference in her mental state. If she had an appointment just 11 days prior to this horrific incident they full on should’ve been able to see she wasn’t “normal”. I have a child who has severe mental health issues. She spent two years in a residential facility. Now she’s 18 and lives with me and probably will forever. I have been unable to find her a mental health provider that accepts our insurance that are taking new patients. I’ve been dealing with that problem for now going on 3 years. To have access to mental health services here in the US is horrible. Mental health is usually a main driver in these crimes yet the government doesn’t seem to be doing anything to correct the issue. They talk about mental health awareness like we aren’t aware, yet we’ve been aware of this problem as citizens for decades. It’s a poor excuse. They need to be held accountable. As far as this perpetrator’s sentence? It’s a travesty of justice. It’s a joke. Rest in Peace little Emily. The world is a bit darker without your glowing light. I hope you have the most beautiful wings in Heaven, that your light is bright and warm forever, and that you’re always watching over your mommy and daddy. You’re sorely missed. ❤

[@bobbisparrow2228]

My heart goes out to Emily's parents. My own daughter was murdered at 25 by her boyfriend, i.e., 2nd to domestic violence and addiction. Her death sent me into a depressive episode so severe I attempted suicide. As a psychologist myself, I did everything I could to get her treatment, many, many times. A child's senseless death is simply awful. This space is not enough for all I'd like to say. But for her parents I can say I understand your pain. And, there is NO such thing as "closure." My pain has changed over time, transformed by researching PTSD, and trying to write a book on the intersection of addiction & PTSD, specifically traumatic events in early childhood. As a former mental health practitioner I can assert that the SYSTEM is FRACTURED. Fracture is the best term, I believe, because follow up is so often LOST. Think about the term itself. Cut off, no connection, huge spaces, splintered. And then, THE PERSON HERSELF becomes FRACTURED. In this case a diagnosis of paranoia, whether due to schizophrenia, a delusional disorder, or whatever (sarcasm intended), should alert a clinician to the fact that violence toward self or others is a distinct possibility. One must know what questions to ask, how to elicit what thoughts, intentions and plans the patient may have. Hence, the clinician MUST assume the hypothesis of potential violence. But BEFORE technique, one must help the patient TRUST the clinician, which takes TIME. Yes, prediction of violence IS very difficult, and often simply wrong. Needed are better studies, retrospective, in determining who became violent and what symptoms were documented, AND those ignored or simply not addressed. Again, there isn't space to discuss ALL the points I need to make to help prevent violence. Obviously, it includes better training & education, which requires money & time. In my case my first clinical training was in crisis intervention, starting between the 1st & 2nd year of my master's degree. I became certified during my 2nd of 5 yrs earning my Ph.D. This training enabled me to see a wide variety of patients with many diagnoses, especially those with suicidal and/or homicidal ideation, intent or plans. Let's get more pieces of this massive puzzle identified and corrected.

I totally agreed that she had a mental illness and the finding of manslaughter. I also agree with the life sentence, but not the 10 year part. She had shown repeatedly over years that she couldn't be relied on to take her medication, and that during those episodes she was harmful to herself, her family and the greater community. She needs to be watched 24/7 and they can't do that if she is free. And there is no doubt in my mind that she would do something similar again if given her freedom, so she needs to stay locked up for the rest of her life to protect others. The asylum piece is an interesting issue. I am a big believer in helping people fleeing danger in their homelands, regardless of which country they come from. However, I also believe that people in the receiving country have a right to be safe from any danger an asylum seeker could potentially pose if there is something in their background that shows that this is a possibility. Therefore, extreme care needs to be taken to ensure that asylum seekers will be an asset to the country they are trying to enter and a thorough background check and interview process needs to be taken, and then reviewed in order to find anything that was missed, as in this case.

Just as medical staff would be declared liable if they did not treat an acute haemmorrhage, mental health staff are responsible for providing timely treatment to prevent deterioration. The patient cannot be held responsible.

I used to work in the Community for over 10 years and had to do Welfare checks ,administer Medications to Patients etc The only time I got really wary and a bit freaked out was with the Patients with Mental Disorders because you never knew what could just set them off There was many, many People that I wasn't at all satisfied they were left to their own devices it was pure madness on the Psychiatrists part to allow this Alot of it is to save money by keeping them living "independently"😪😪 Feel really sorry for the Couple losing their little girl

[@thepaigeparker]

Yes the danger is a serious concern and beyond that why should a country with socialized medicine be knowingly importing people who require a lifetime of very expensive inpatient care?

My heart breaks for her parents!!! Praying for comfort!!!

[@DatVillageGal]

This happened in my home town and a park me and my family frequents. Such a devastating loss

[@emogeane]

Rest in peace little angel. I am so sorry this happened to you and for the parents, my deepest condolences. I have known loss but not that of my child, so I can only comprehend a tiny bit. Thank you for advocating for change ❤

Absolutely horrific. I couldn't watch all of this. I feel for the family.

[@Blueknight1960]

Be it a mental health problem or just someone evil, they are equally dangerous and no excuse why that women wasn't charged with 1st degree murder.

That lovely smile!😢

The local government failed Emily. They kept letting that woman be discharged from the hospital

[@Deiseblack]

A person completely crazy with an irresponsible caretaker should not live outside
