This was the first story released about what happened to mum..nearly a year after she passed. We waited over a month to lay our mum to rest and without knowing her cause of death

From the moment mum entered that police cell in Castlemaine information was withheld from family. We were told she was okay and being monitored

Little did we know they weren’t doing their adequate checks and leaving her to die on a cold concrete floor. It wasn’t until my Uncle called to say my brother was coming to pick her up that they entered that cell #JusticeforTanyaDay

The first time they ever entered was when they called an ambulance, by that time it was already too late #JusticeforTanyaDay

Even up to the point of my brothers arrival they withheld the seriousness of mums condition saying “she had a little knock to the noggin” #JusticeforTanyaDay

There’s a reason why the hospital believed it was an aneurism first and why they disregarded the large bruise on mums head, and it was from the information they received from the police officers

Victim blaming and dismissing the seriousness of what happened to our mother that night began soon as she entered that cell. It was not an assumed aneurism or stroke that caused her death #JusticeforTanyaDay

It was Danny Wolters and Edwina Neale that failed their duty of care, who chose not to enter that cell and monitor her effectively. It was the very way they viewed our mum and the racism intrenched within all those who came into contact with her #justicefortanyaday
