As London goes to the polls to elect the Mayor and assembly and the junior doctor's fight to be allowed into a negotiation over their new contracts, a grieving mother has received verbal abuse.
Sara Ryan who tragically lost her son within the Southern Health NHS trust, has been labelled a "vindictive cow" by someone claiming to be a member of NHS staff.
Sara has been campaigning for accountability within the trust after her son drowned in a bath in the Slade house in Oxfordshire.
Shocking attacks
The message (as reported by The Guardian) started well, with the statement "it's tragic, and I hope you find some closure after the report," but descended into abuse.
A Southern health spokesman is investigating the call.
It is shocking to think that a member of NHS staff would behave in this way, after all a campaign and criticism from a grieving mother should be seen within the context of the loss she has just suffered.
No one is their best self while grieving, especially when that grief is for a child.
Thoughts for the future
I hope that once an investigation has been completed that the trust will identify this alleged member of staff and take them to task.
If you're putting a cross in a box today think carefully about what direction you want the world to go in and which candidate is offering that direction.
