Thank You for Standing With Us
I want to thank every person who has signed, shared, or supported this petition so far. Each signature, each share, and every kind word give my father and me strength to keep going. You are helping us turn pain into purpose.
A few days ago, I finally saw my father after months of being kept away. What I found broke my heart. He had visible injuries, looked weak, cried continuously and whispered that he was being "tortured." I wiped blood from his face myself. When I asked staff where his injuries came from, I was told the all too familiar response of "He did it to himself." But my father cannot lift himself or reach his legs, his hands and nails were clean.
That moment confirmed what I have been fighting all along - my father is not safe.
I have documented every single detail - photos, videos, written reports and calls. It is all safely stored. Yet those meant to protect have ignored his cries and silenced me for speaking up.
My father has always been a strong man - loving, dignified and protective. Even now, in such pain, he tries to reassure me. I hold my father close and wipe his tears, fighting back my own to be strong for him. I know all I have seen and continue to see. No one deserves to suffer this way.
This fight is no longer just for my father - it's for every vulnerable person hidden away, every family silenced by threats, and every truth buried to protect reputations.
We need transparency, accountability, and real safeguarding reform - across care homes, local authorities, and the Court of Protection system. Most of all, I want my father's suffering to end and for him to be home safe with me, where he wishes to be.
Please continue sharing this petition. Each signature helps to bring the truth into the light. I thank you from my heart for seeing what others choose not to see.
To Tracey - I am so deeply sorry to hear what happened to Martin and countless others. No words can capture the heartbreak and injustice of what you and your loved ones have endured. Thank you for sharing his story with such courage. What happened to Martin should never happen to anyone, yet it continues to happen to people like my father. Your voice, and Martin's memory, strengthen my resolve to keep fighting for truth, dignity and justice for all those who cannot defend themselves. Thank you.
