The_DADDY Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) Katie Price has been told Metropolitan Police are under investigation for allegedly sharing ‘disgusting content’ about her son Harvey Price. The star is mum to Harvey, 20, who has Prader-Willi Syndrome, autism and is blind. https://metro.co.uk/2023/02/17/katie-prices-son-harvey-targeted-by-police-officers-in-group-chat-18302648/ Your thoughts?

XPertByExperien Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I sympathise but the lad's over 18, therefore the Met are unlikely to do anything as it's not technically illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister M Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) This doesn't surprise me at all. I think I'd want to differentiate really unacceptable behaviour from 'gallows humour'. I appreciate that emergency services workers see some horrible things, and can say things which can be cathartic, but inappropriate. However that doesn't excuse being disgusting about a disabled lad, whoever his mother is. I think we really need to think much more honestly and clearly about the police. I know there are many fantastic police officers who do an amazing job, and I'll hold my hands up and say that I couldn't put up with what they have to. However, there have been too many instances of where the police have not only acted inappropriately, insensitively (I think of the many cases of child sexual exploitation in South Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, and other areas), but also have been found to be institutionally corrupt (e.g. the Met's handling of the Daniel Morgan case). EDIT: I am glad though that the police chose to investigate this not as a result of being shamed into it, but of their own volition.

Mr Bloke Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Hmmm... My first thought was... Are you being sponsored by The Metro, Mr Daddy? Why are there 4 links to The Metro in your post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melthebell Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I'd say its what society creates, these police whatsapp groups are a by product of the mainly lads culture permeated through society, sexism, racism, homophobia, generally bullying is still rife in society and until thats cut out completely it will infect the services. But then we have this anti "woke" backlash which in effect wants to keep such things, she should "man up", stop being woke etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? There’s no age limit for hate crimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHasRisen Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 My question would be.....5 of the 8 names listed on the Met Police website for this are listed as ex coppers. This isnt a criminal trial so whats the point of them even attending this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
