Amelia's Fight For Justice

Hello my name is Jade, I am Amelia's mummy and I am here to share her story and fight for her justice.

On 26th March 2023 Amelia, aged 6 then, was set upon by 6 bully's (dogs). Amelia and Lara, (my eldest daughter aged 8), were outside our home playing when Amelia was attacked from behind and pulled down by the dogs. As she lay on the floor helplessly, her big sister Lara was on her hands and knees trying to help her baby sister. Within seconds I had heard the noise outside and ran out to find Amelia face down and lifeless with dogs all over her. At that time I was 8 months pregnant and had to fight 6 very heavy and aggressive dogs off my daughter. Luckily after a fight for amelias life I got my girls to safety.

The image shown is just one of the bites, she had over 30 more of these injuries over her body, they had taken numerous chunks out of her flesh. It was truly hoffic and she will have these injuries all her life. Not to mention the psychological damage it has caused.

The dogs had completely mauled my beautiful innocent Amelia. Meanwhile the owner of these dogs was more focused on getting the dogs into his van and driving them away before the police could get to them, he chose to protect his dogs. The owner of the dogs was my next door neighbour.

Amelia was rushed to the hospital and had 3 huge separate surgeries to try and repair the damage the dogs made to her tiny body. She was very lucky to have the incredible surgeons and medical team that worked for hours and hours on her.

3 months before Amelia was attacked, the same dogs attacked a man and his dog in the street. The police failed to act on this attack, even after the victim provided a very strong and clear statement. If the police handled the attack on the man and his dog properly 3 months before the attack on Amelia, then my daughters attack could have been prevented. But in order to be able to fight a legal battle against our local police force we need to raise funds for legal fees.

Amelia has been on CAMHS waiting list for over a year to receive help to deal with the psychological effects the attack has had on her. She has not received any form of counselling or therapy since the attack and we now need to fund this for her.

Thank you for taking time to read this, we are forever grateful for any funds raised to help Amelias fight and getting her the counselling she desperately needs and deserves.
