Fiona Pilkington pleaded for police assistance as she and her family
suffered 10 years of torment and violence at the hands of the gang in Bullwell,
an inquest into their deaths heard.
But their requests to officers and local authorities were not given
priority, and their bodies were found in their burning car near their home in
October 2007, the court heard.
A jury at the inquest concluded Monday that police failure to
properly help the family -- despite 33 calls logged to police over the 10 years
-- contributed to Pilkington's decision to end their lives.
Ten years. What were the police waiting for? What kind of parents would let their kids join a gang and attack mentally disabled teenagers? What the hell is wrong with people?
