Threats and accusations

I have never been a naive person but I have to admit a lot of what has happened this year has shocked me,of course I was aware of cyberbullying and false accusations,but this is just ridiculous!

Back in February2007 the local police wanted to speak to our daughter due to her "boyfriend" making threats to her schoolfriend,not just any old threats,some really nasty stuff,he even accused her of dealing in drugs and reported it to the police.I must admit I had forgotten about that part until a friend reminded me today.
Of course the police weren't able to speak to our daughter as she had gone walkabouts,the first of many disappearing acts this year.
Looking back at what has happened since is like reading some far fetched novel,in fact if we hadn't recorded every detail in our now mammoth diary there is no way I would remember it all.The "boyfriend" had also threatened another friend,on a bebo site,I would post it here but to be honest,I don't want to see it again,it is vile!!
Between February and April the "boyfriend" made several phone calls to the police, in fact one weekend he made a bloody nuicance of himself, phoning up several times an hour on 999 calls.
He accused us of harming our daughter, each time the police came round she was happily in her room, totally unaware as we were that any assault had taken place.
I was disturbed to say the least by his behaviour but was told by the authorities that he had mental health problems and he didn't understand what he was doing, mmmmmm believe that if you wish!!
In March our daughter reported to a Doctor in Bristol with obvious self harm injuries, the doctor was told that our daughter was the victim of child abuse by an abussive alcoholic mother!!!!
When the doctor was later interviewed about this report they stated that they didn't believe a word of it but had to write what they were told!!
That is something that to this day I will never understand, what happened to ethics,truth and justice!

The police obviously investigated this, and as I clearly had nothing to hide as I had done nothing wrong, I was more than willing to discuss anything with the police and answer any questions they had.
To this day we still have a good relationship with the police, we have always been upfront and truthful with them, any innocent person will, as we did happily answer any questions they may have.

The officers who interviewed our daughter have made it clear that they didn't believe a word,they were in no doubt that she was being totally controlled by the "boyfriend".
What they read in that letter was clearly rubbish,the injuries were consistent with self harm.

Since October someone with a Bristol IP address has been leaving messages all over the internet to say that I am a serial child abuser,some are almost funny they are so ridiculous.I admit that I have found some very hurtful,as a loving and caring mum who had always had a strong relationship with her daughter anyone would be upset by them.

I read this week that I have been the subject of an NSPCC investigation.....really?
Funny but I think I might have been aware of it!!

This same person has also threatened dozens of people who I have never even met, people who kindly showed our daughters details on internet sites during the 6 long months that she was missing.Many of these people have forwarded me details of e.mails that they had received, most are from a lady called *** who coincidentally has the same e.mail address as the "boyfriend"
The same e.mail address that was used in letters to the press complaints authority and the same e.mail address that was used by the person who set up a bebo account over a year ago designed to target young vulnerable young girls, telling them that they were very sexy!!!

I have given copies of the threats to the police and to a journalist,our diary is ongoing,this story is far from over.We haven't seen our daughter since April,who knows if we ever will? She is the victim of a crime and one day we hope that she will be free to tell the world about the dangers of sexual grooming,but first she nees to break free from the clutches of the "boyfriend".
