Convicted for trying to help suicidal thoughts. Is this appropriate??????

I have posted on here before and am keen to get others comments about what the police and a financial company did to me.

In 2012 there was a tax change that affected pensions and all NHS people were advised to get tax advice as to what to do. Financial advisors saw this as an opportunity to ear lots of money and held many meetings , but few doctors needed to takke action to prevent major tax loss. Unfortunately I did and the IFA failed to give me the appropriate safe action which lost me £250,000 and I went into meltdown, feeling suicidal that I had failed my family and my future. The standard medical response is medication and psychotherapy, but this did not help me and I agree with the recent australian action to state that suicide is often not a mental health issue, but is related to financial emotional and other reasons'

I was a computer expert and became involved with the research in to artificial intelligence use in suicide prevention, but there is a great awareness that there is no artificial intelligence use for treating suicidal thinking. So I started researching this and felt that scam websites may be a useful way of throwing a away bad thoughts as per Dr James Pennebaker.

Police arrested me for this despite the fact that I never placed any order, the website is clearly  a fake, scam and I was using it to research throwing away ideas.

They also added in a charge for implied threat of suicide as I felt my life was in danger after a serious cycle accident with MRI brain damage, unable to walk, unable to work but no mention or threat of suicide. It was my doctor that told them about that.

I have run out of options for help I think, but these people are good

Any ideas/ know any media people?

As those on the autistic spectrum are high risk for suicide, this is not right to convict people for trying to get help,  is it?

  • I'm sorry to hear this happened to you. I'm a little confused as to why the police convicted you for 'implied threat of suicide'... I didn't know this was something people could be convicted for (I know people can sometimes be detained under the Mental Health Act for the safety of themselves or others, but I didn't think this would lead to a criminal conviction).

  • Well they did and ignored  the NICE guidance from 2018. 

    1.2 Suicide prevention strategies

    1.2.1 Develop a multi-agency strategy based on the principles of the Department of Health and Social Care's suicide prevention strategy for England and other relevant strategies. It should emphasise that suicide is preventable, and it is safe to talk about it.

    I feel the police have been criminal! But they seem above the law

  • I wonder if the Independent Office for Police Conduct might be worth a try:

  • very true - say nothing
