Connor Wellsted: our boy for ever more
1/25+
I’d like to tell you about a little boy called Connor Wellsted. I spoke to one of his foster parents, Shazia @truth4connor and she told me about Connor, his life, and what is understood about his death @Childrens_Trust aged just 5, now his inquest is finally complete.

Connor was born in April 2012 in Sheffield, he was born prematurely and acquired a brain injury shortly after birth following a cardiorespiratory arrest which starved his brain of oxygen.
Connor lived with significant disabilities, but he was loved, and enjoyed life.

Got spammed with a @mencap_charity begging ad on instagram this morning; promises of independence and pleas for money in wills, usual waffle.
Thing is when I think of Mencap I don't think of independence, I think of #deathbyindifference, in their services 1/19

I think of Danny Tozer, and his family. They trusted Mencap to provide him with care, they believed their promises of independence but we heard at @TozerInquest how his independence dwindled away 2/19
Two years ago today, at Danny's final pre-inquest review hearing Mencap argued there should be no jury at his inquest and the scope of it should be limited. No full and thorough investigation required into deaths in their care, thank you very much georgejulian.co.uk/2018/03/13/bri… 3/19
