  • 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.

    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.

      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handle being in a room with large numbers of people, and during her school years, in the classroom she was totally withdrawn.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 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.

      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.

    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.

I can't tell U how many cases I've watched from those two parts of the world and it's ridiculous how lenient they r for murder r rape r both . A man went to his ex girlfriends childhood home and locked the door and stabbed her over 200 times , cut off her ears , her breast and nose and only received 16 years , he wasn't mentally ill just angry because she had broken up with him , heer professor whom was much older than her , it's disgusting . In this case , I feel that because she attacked a little child and not an adult , I believe she should never be free again , ever . It's sad that this woman was sold to some man because of her father owning money but this precious sweet little girl had nothing to do with that and I hope this woman will never be released again , ever . I'm so very sorry for Emily and her parents and family and friends , She deserves better , so much better and I think this woman was just evil .

    She knowingly killed an innocent child. If she has the presence of mind to get up, get neatly dressed, navigate her way, make purchases, etc, she is absolutely culpable of murder. She absolutely should be punished and not given any more comfort than any other murderer. Hate is the root of murder and must not be coddled.

    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. Assessed by a doctor as having PTSD but failed to turn up for her Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and so her case was closed.
    *July 2015: She grabbed a knife and believed she was going to be attacked. Sectioned and admitted to Royal Bolton Hospital. (Acute Schizophrenia Psychotic Symptoms). 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.

      Those still working in the mental care sector are heroes, as are most NHS workers who have suffered real term pay cuts of up to 35%, whilst expecting to do more and more with less and less. Since 2013, specifically. Did they not think less teachers, special education centres, libraries, the likes of Sure Start, police (down 20k, courts cut in half) , doctors, nurses, MH workers, firefighters (Grenfell) etc in tbe name of austerity (a political choice. Where do you think those 'savings' ended up...? Because borrowing has never been higher even though interest rates are obscene. Our streets should be paved with gold given Tory spending!) wouldn't have a huge impact on society? 1% of rape cases end in court. But the Bullingdon Club members (Johnson etc trashed restaurants, burnt 50£ notes infront of the homeless) were always going to unaffected as their inherited wealth (and my God, they protected that) would never suffer the consequences. Their wealth shielded them.
      Please don't demonise those in the public sector left. They are anything but lazy, work many, many unpaid hours for something they're devoted to. The. Resouces. Of. 10. Years. Ago. Have. Gone 😢 Their pay reduced year on year and yet they're demonised in the right-wing - in-bed-with 21:16 -the-tories press for finally saying enough. Direct blame at the policy makers.

      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.

    Living in Bolton, it makes you think, what if I had been there, could I have stopped it, and when I look at the date, I would have been on my way to see my own mother that day, and at that time could have easily passed the killer without realising what was about to happen. I do remember being at my mum's and seeing the air ambulance flying overhead. These events don't hit home until they happen to you, someone you know or in this case, in your hometown.

    About 3 weeks ago my children’s pediatrician, who was almost like family to us, was stabbed by a patient while he was working and treating patients in his practice. The assailant was a patient of his own who had schizophrenia and was obsessed with the doctor. He survived but was stabbed 5 times in his head and neck and then the guy fled at high speed on the highway. He was caught but our pediatrician had tried repeatedly to get this guy in a mental hospital but his mom kept refusing. He is ok but we need real treatment for these people. It’s essentially gone in the US unless they commit a crime.

    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. ❤

    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.
