This clip of a British Policewoman rocking back and forth on a rocking horse whilst playing on her phone in somebody’s back garden is the perfect visual example of the state of the UK right now.
Requesting a victim's personal information from her treating psychiatrist is not just a matter of accessing medical records; it's a breach of trust and an invasion of privacy. If the judge allows the SA victim's notes to be released, it sets a dangerous precedent for all survivors of sexual assault. What possible gain could this bully have by exposing these intimate details for public scrutiny? How can anyone feel safe to seek mental health services and confide in a professional if their privacy is not respected? Linda Reynolds seems determined to turn this trial into a witch hunt, disregarding the trauma and vulnerability of the victim. The integrity of mental health care and the well-being of survivors must not be sacrificed in the name of a fishing expedition.
Reynolds Lawyer has requested access to Ms Higgins current treating Psychiatrist notes to use in trial. Judge has not ruled on it and won’t til either this afternoon or tomorrow.
