The End of Dead Dollz — When “Support” Turns Into Sabotage:

The End of Dead Dollz — When “Support” Turns Into Sabotage: I’m going to be clear and factual about my involvement with Dead Dollz, as there has been a shift in narrative that doesn’t reflect what actually took place. I did not become involved casually. I paid to step in and support the group at a time when the girls were experiencing abuse and the situation required stabilising. Alongside that financial investment, I contributed my time, energy, and professional experience to support, promote, and help develop the brand in a constructive way. This included behind-the-scenes work such as promotion, interviews, written content, and actively working to reduce the level of external negativity the group was receiving. My involvement was based on good faith and a clear intention to support growth and protect those within the group. However, the response I received did not reflect that. Communication became unprofessional, including voice messages delivered in a tone that was dismissive and ...

Compassion Not Guaranteed:

Image
  Something I’ve learned from both sides of the system — as a disabled person and as a carer — is that compassion isn’t guaranteed. Genuine carers exist, and they are incredible people. But they are also rare, and pretending otherwise doesn’t help anyone. When we talk about abuse, neglect, or systemic failures in care, healthcare, or support services, people often react defensively instead of listening. But here’s the truth: We cannot change what we refuse to acknowledge. Calling out harm isn’t “negative”. It’s accountability. It’s advocacy. And it’s the first step toward building systems where compassion is the norm, not the exception. If we want real change for disabled people and vulnerable communities, we have to be willing to face uncomfortable truths. — Sarah Wingfield #abuse #compassion #change #support #disabilityadvocacy Alt Text: Kawaii pastel quote graphic branded with “Sarah Wingfield – Actress | Author | Advocate” and “KawaiiDollDecora.uk”.

Always speak UP against abuse:

Image
In a world filled with abusers, I would rather whistleblow and safeguard than stay silent and allow harm to continue. You’re not always believed. You’re not always listened to. Often, people only understand once it happens to them too. That’s why abusers hide behind good deeds, reputations, and performative “helping.” Genuine, authentic people take accountability. They correct their behaviour. Apologies come with changed actions. Abusers don’t do that. Instead, they surround themselves with people shouting about the “amazing work” they do — not to protect others, but to silence victims. Some of those people don’t even realise they’re enabling abuse. They think they’re defending someone they admire. But if someone were truly good, there wouldn’t be victims trying to hold them to account. Period. When this behaviour exists inside organisations, support groups, or positions of power, they are not there to help people — they are there to help themselves. Abuse is hidden behind an army. Pow...

Vulnerable Disabled Woman Silenced by Police After False Allegations, Caught on Film: Contemporaneous Account – Police Attendance re Community Protection Notice Date: 25 November 2024 Recording: An audio and video recording of this interaction exists and is retained by me. On 25 November 2024, a police officer attended my address and sought to issue a Community Protection Notice (CPN) based on allegations relating to my online activity. The CPN was NOT signed or Dated, no officer details were provided and it did not state the start date or the end date. The officer stated that the justification for issuing the notice was that I had made “shares” online and that “there was more than one comment.”   No specific content was identified, no evidence was presented to me, and no explanation was provided as to how this activity met the statutory threshold required for a Community Protection Notice. I was not informed of my rights, including: my right to challenge the allegations, my right ...
