💔 My children’s father died at just 32 years old.

He left behind two children, aged 7 and 12, who adored him.

We are calling for a change in UK law to introduce a legal duty requiring individuals to call emergency services when they witness someone in clear, life‑threatening medical distress. 

A Duty to Call law would:

• Encourage faster emergency response
• Potentially save lives
•Promote a culture of responsibility and compassion
•Align the law with basic moral expectations of care.

 

The Impact on His Children

He didn’t just leave behind a name on a certificate. He left behind two children who adored him.

My 7 year old son wrapped his arms around me one night, his bottom lip trembling, tears in his eyes, and said:

“Mum… do you know when I get bigger… this is still not going to get better.”

On another night, through sobs before bedtime, he said:

“Mum, I just want to die so I can go and see my dad.”

No child should ever carry that kind of pain 💔💔❤️

My 12‑year‑old daughter stopped eating in the beginning, didn’t talk very much and slept quite a lot. 
At just 12 years old, she stood in the chapel of rest to say goodbye to her daddy — his little princess 👸🏼

Both of our children stood up at his funeral and read poems for their dad. Aged just 7 and 12. With more strength than any child should ever have to find.

 

And while they grieve, I grieve too - for someone I have known since I was 11 years old. We began our relationship at 15 and 17. We built a life together. We literally grew up together and had two beautiful children. Holidays every year. Our own home. A dog. A future. We did everything together. 

So I am doing this for him, because he would have done anything for me. He truly had a good heart ❤️

What Happened?

He died from Respiratory depression, having been given Morphine to drink,  the person responsible for giving it to him was arrested.

He was visibly in medical distress led on a bed. This is what was described to the police that she saw this HOURS before he died and left the house…. Still lots of questions. 

• His pulse was bulging from his neck.

• There was a gurgling sound in the back of his throat.

• He was frothing at the mouth.

This was told in front of myself and the police on the day, while he lay in the next room & I will never have peace with that. Ever. 

The crucial moment was when he was then left alone? Just left? That was the point a call should have been made.

A simple phone call could have saved him, even if not, help should have been arranged at the very very least.

As a nurse myself, I know that early intervention in situations like this can mean the difference between life and death. 

Currently, there is no general legal obligation in the UK for a bystander to seek help for an adult in danger — even when the signs of medical emergency are obvious. This leaves a devastating gap between moral responsibility and legal accountability.

No one should be left without help when they are visibly experiencing anything like seizures, breathing difficulties, unconsciousness, or any other critical medical signs.

This proposed change would not require people to physically intervene or put themselves at risk. It would simply require making a phone call to 999 when a person is clearly in danger.

In the UK, there is no general legal duty requiring bystanders to call for help when someone is clearly in life‑threatening danger.

Around 28 countries worldwide already have some form of “Duty to Rescue” law.

Why don’t we?

This petition is about protecting lives in the future. It is about ensuring that no other child grows up wondering whether their parent could have been saved by one simple phone call.

Because every second counts. 💔

 

📢 Sign this petition to support a legal duty to act when witnessing a life in danger ensuring no one else suffers the unnecessary loss that we endure.

 

Together, let us advocate for a future where everyone takes responsibility for each other’s safety and wellbeing….because it is morally right.
