What right does the family have to blame hard working St John staff and volunteers for their child's death, when they themselves failed to protect the child from being bashed so viciously that she could die from those injuries? More importantly, why are the media taking the family's side on this issue?

761711 2009-04-01 23:44:00 +1 -- Its a tragic case, but still not the fault of St Johns IMHO Chilling_Silence (9)
761712 2009-04-02 00:38:00 Quite right.
Every time I bash one of my kids to death, they arrive in minutes.

I'd sue.

761713 2009-04-02 02:58:00 "Cherish died after St John delay ", indeed, that is typical Dom Post sensational crap headline, rather it should read "Cherish died after vicious domestic beating".

But anyway, it is a national disgrace that a so-called 'first world country' does not have a National Ambulance Service such as in the UK run by the NHS.

Instead we rely on various poorly subsidised, undermanned, volunteer local services dependent mainly on charity and fund raising to keep going.

In the UK St John Ambulance does not run a frontline ambulance service as such, it provides services at public events, sports events etc, and is the main first aid training organisation. It does get called out in emergency situations like floods, disasters, and accidents etc, and as it says they play a crucial role in supporting emergency services, but the national service is the front line.

Wonder why people volunteer to do this work if this is the crap they get.
It sure aint for the pay and low stress levels at work.
