00:00 On April 2nd, my mother and I were given a police escort to our home to collect some
00:08 belongings.
00:09 This was the third occasion we warned police about my father's guns.
00:15 An officer said, "Oh, don't worry, we know all about the guns."
00:19 And when he called for backup, he warned his fellow officers to wear bulletproof vests.
00:25 We were ignored by five different male officers across three occasions of reporting.
00:31 By that point, we felt completely helpless and I had to focus on getting mum to safety.
00:37 I have asked that our internal investigations unit conduct an investigation into the three
00:43 interactions that Ariel speaks of with our police officers.
00:48 I'm not going to lie, I was a little bit scared.
