[00:00:03]A killer with a history of attacking her own mother with an iron. Previously arrested for threatening neighbors with a knife and constantly hearing voices in her head urging her to kill.

[00:00:14]>> What's in your backpack?

[00:00:15]>> ID and everything.

[00:00:16]>> ID.

[00:00:17]>> Yes. And the knife.

[00:00:18]>> Yet Eltonion Scana was allowed to roam free for 3 months without any supervision. And when she was arrested, she laughed hysterically and admitted. I waited and chose my victim.

[00:00:32]Hey guys, welcome back. My name is Luca and I hope everyone is having a good day. Today we're looking at a haunting true crime documentary episode about the Emily Jones case, the 7-year-old girl from Bolton, Greater Manchester, who lost her life on a Mother's Day morning at Queens Park. What makes this case so heartbreaking is not only how quickly the tragedy unfolded [music] in broad daylight, so close to Emily's parents, but also the questions that remained afterward. Were the warning signs related to mental health risk properly assessed and monitored before it [music] was too late? And that's the part that stays with me. How Emily was simply enjoying a normal day out with her family. A day that should have become a beautiful memory, but in the end, it became the day her family could never forget. Dear friends, let's get started.

[00:01:43]Emily Grace Jones was born on January 18th, 2013 [music] in Bolton.

[00:01:49]She was the only daughter of Mark Jones, a credit manager, and Sarah Barnes, a lawyer.

[00:01:57]Their family lived in Doofcocker, a quiet neighborhood where [music] most parents believed their children could grow up safely.

[00:02:05]Emily's [music] parents said, "Emily is 7 years old, our only daughter, and the light of our lives. She was always full of joy, love, and [music] laughter.

[00:02:17]Emily loved being active. She especially enjoyed swimming, playing tennis, and often rode her scooter.

[00:02:25]Emily was a student at Markland Hill Primary School in Bolton. At school, she was remembered as a bright, [music] energetic, and determined girl. Always involved, always friendly, always bringing a kind of energy that made [music] others smile, too. A child truly living her childhood to the fullest.

[00:02:48]Sunday afternoon, March 22nd, 2020, Mother's Day in the UK, Queens Park in the city of Bolton. [music] Around 200 p.m., Mark Jones and his daughter Emily entered the park. Emily had her pink scooter with her, the familiar item she always brought whenever she went out.

[00:03:12]Just like any [music] child enjoying a free afternoon in another area of the park, Sarah Barnes, Emily's mother, was out for a run.

[00:03:22]Around 2:30 p.m., Emily suddenly spotted her mother from a distance. She immediately shouted, "Mom, dad, dad, I want to go to mom." Without hesitation, Emily turned the handlebars and started pushing her scooter straight toward her mother. But in the next [music] few seconds, everything would spiral out of control.

[00:03:48]Emily sped forward on her scooter, [music] heading toward her mother. The distance between them was now just a few meters. From behind, Mark kept his eyes on his daughter. Then he saw a woman stand up from a bench and quickly move toward Emily. Emily fell to the ground.

[00:04:07]It happened too fast for Mark to understand what was going on.

[00:04:12]He thought his daughter had simply fallen because he could still hear her crying. The woman bent down, appearing to help her back up. But then screams and panic erupted [music] around them.

[00:04:24]She's been attacked.

[00:04:27]The woman suddenly stood up [music] and walked away, still holding a knife in her hand.

[00:04:33]Mark ran [music] toward her. Emily was lying on the ground, struggling to breathe. He held his daughter tightly and kept saying, "Stay with me, Emily.

[00:04:44]Don't leave me." But Emily's condition deteriorated very quickly.

[00:04:51]In moments like that, most people would freeze, panic, not knowing what to do.

[00:04:57]But Tony Kanty, who was at the park with his wife and young daughter, reacted differently.

[00:05:04]When he saw the woman leaving the scene right after, he immediately turned and chased after her.

[00:05:11]Behind him, his wife went back to Mark.

[00:05:14]She handed him a small [music] cloth to press against Emily's wound, trying to limit the blood loss while others called emergency services.

[00:05:22]Just minutes later, paramedics arrived.

[00:05:25]The first responder on scene saw Emily lying on the ground, held from behind by her father.

[00:05:32]She was unconscious, [music] unresponsive.

[00:05:36]Her condition at that moment was extremely critical.

[00:05:40]The paramedics immediately began CPR.

[00:05:43]performing chest compressions and administering emergency medication in an attempt to restore her heartbeat.

[00:05:52]After that, Emily was airlifted by helicopter, leaving the park in critical [music] condition.

[00:06:00]As Tony gave chase, [music] his wife shouted from behind that the woman had a knife.

[00:06:06]Tony heard her and he kept going.

[00:06:10]He rushed forward and tackled the woman to the ground.

[00:06:14]Right after that, he held her down, sitting on top of her to stop her from getting up or running away.

[00:06:21]While restraining her, Tony called 999.

[00:06:26]There's an [music] incident at Queens Park in Bolton and a child is bleeding.

[00:06:31]He also described the woman's condition clearly.

[00:06:35]I don't understand what she's saying.

[00:06:38]She's very agitated.

[00:06:40]At that moment, the woman was speaking in disjointed, illogical statements. She said [music] she didn't need any more injections.

[00:06:48]She accused Tony of killing her family and claimed that he was trying to kill her. He [music] kept her pinned to the ground and said, "You're not well. The police will come and help you." The woman immediately responded, "I don't need you to tell me to calm down."

[00:07:07]The woman was then restrained and arrested [music] by police at the scene.

[00:07:11]At the time of her arrest, she was carrying identification and the knife used in the attack.

[00:07:21]>> Hands over.

[00:07:22]>> Put your take the bag down.

[00:07:23]>> Let me take your bag off. Stay still.

[00:07:25]>> Okay.

[00:07:26]>> Hands behind your back.

[00:07:26]>> Thank you.

[00:07:29]>> I think she's from the blue.

[00:07:33]>> Have you seen a child anywhere?

[00:07:35]Is she on her own?

[00:07:38]>> Right.

[00:07:39]>> A child down there.

[00:07:40]>> Get down there quick.

[00:07:50]>> The ID from >> Yes, it's in my bag.

[00:07:54]>> What is >> in my bag? ID. Everything.

[00:07:58]>> 2:45 p.m. She was arrested for a knife attack and attempted murder.

[00:08:08]Go ahead.

[00:08:09]>> This female is knowing what she has said ID in her.

[00:08:16]>> What's in your backpack?

[00:08:17]>> ID and everything.

[00:08:18]>> ID.

[00:08:19]>> Yes. And the knife >> and a knife.

[00:08:23]>> And a knife.

[00:08:31]>> Yeah. Turn off.

[00:08:36]Right. The time now is uh 14:45. At this point in time, you're under arrest on suspicion of attempted murder. Uh you didn't have say anything, but it may be defense. You do not mention something when questioned that you later rely in court. And if you do, say maybe giving evidence.

[00:08:49]>> Okay.

[00:08:50]>> Your arrest is necessary to protect vulnerable people and to ensure a prompt and effective investigation to this offense.

[00:08:55]>> Yeah.

[00:08:56]>> Okay.

[00:08:58]>> What's your name?

[00:08:59]>> Elonas Conor.

[00:09:01]>> Elon Connor.

[00:09:02]>> Okay. Where do you live?

[00:09:04]>> Uh 19 Turnstone Road.

[00:09:07]>> 19 Turnstone.

[00:09:08]>> Yes.

[00:09:11]>> Sweat there.

[00:09:15]>> Just confirm what's in what's inside your bag.

[00:09:17]>> You can control. It's just >> No. No bumps, no nothing. It's just my ID card.

[00:09:22]>> ID card.

[00:09:22]>> In my mom's ID card.

[00:09:24]>> Yeah.

[00:09:24]>> There's a knife, some water, some juice.

[00:09:27]>> Okay.

[00:09:28]>> Nothing.

[00:09:28]>> Okay. That's it. So there's nothing Nothing that's going to hurt me. No.

[00:09:31]>> No.

[00:09:34]3:27 p.m. The helicopter landed at Salulford Royal Hospital.

[00:09:41]She was [music] taken straight into the emergency room, placed on a ventilator, given blood transfusions.

[00:09:49]Doctors performed CPR and administered adrenaline in an attempt to restore her heartbeat, but her body did not respond and her heart stopped. At 3:56 p.m., Emily was pronounced dead. [music] Emily Jones will forever be the light of her parents' lives, a bright and energetic little girl.

[00:10:15]To honor a young soul taken far too soon, and to show support for Mark Jones's family in their fight to change [music] the system, please leave a white flower or a pink heart in the comments.

[00:10:28]Let's come together to light up our prayers so Emily can rest in peace and so no other family has to endure the same pain.

[00:10:37]The following day, Sarah Barnes was asked to come in to identify her daughter's body. It was a required [music] procedure, but nothing could prepare a mother for that moment.

[00:10:49]An autopsy was later conducted. The conclusion was clear.

[00:10:54]Emily died from a deep cut wound to the neck causing severe [music] blood loss and cardiac arrest.

[00:11:03]In an official statement, the family said, "We are absolutely devastated that this random act of violence means we will never see our beautiful daughter grow up into the wonderful young woman she was destined to become.

[00:11:20]It is truly heartbreaking to wake up in a world without Emily and we cannot understand why this has happened.

[00:11:28]We would like to thank members of the public who helped us in the park and express our gratitude [music] to the emergency services for doing everything they could to save Emily's life.

[00:11:41]After the incident was confirmed as a murder, police began building [music] a suspect profile. The woman arrested at the scene was identified as Eltoniona Scana, 30 years old.

[00:11:54]She was detained under the Mental Health Act. Dr. Santina Frell was the attending physician when Scana was admitted. Not very well. Sconna stated that [music] she did not remember what happened in the park.

[00:12:08]However, Dr. Frell assessed that this was not memory loss. She believed Ska was avoiding [music] talking about the incident. She also described Sconna as showing almost no emotion [music] throughout the evaluation.

[00:12:22]During examination, police discovered [music] a piece of wire tightly wrapped around Scana's toe.

[00:12:29]When asked, she said it was a way to control her emotions. She then continued trying to tighten the wire around her toe.

[00:12:38]A doctor later assessed this [music] behavior as being related to a psychotic state.

[00:12:44]In March 2015, Eltonion Scana was assessed by doctors [music] as having mental health issues and was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress [music] disorder.

[00:12:55]She was referred for treatment, but Sconna did not attend her scheduled therapy sessions. Her treatment record was later closed.

[00:13:04]Just a few months later, the situation escalated.

[00:13:09]In July [music] 2015, Ska was holding a knife and said she was about to be attacked. Her family reported the incident.

[00:13:18]Ska was involuntarily admitted to Royal [music] Bolton. There, doctors recorded psychotic symptoms.

[00:13:26]Ska believed her neighbors were trying to harm her. She claimed they were using electricity in the house to attack her.

[00:13:34]During treatment, Scana repeatedly left the hospital when given permission to go out. She refused to take oral medication.

[00:13:44]Doctors later [music] switched to injectable antiscychotic medication.

[00:13:49]Scana opposed the forced treatment and filed an appeal.

[00:13:54]On August 20th, 2018, [music] doctors assessed that her condition had become more stable. The delusional symptoms had decreased. A decision was made. She was discharged.

[00:14:08]On paper, Elton Scana was not abandoned after her discharge. She remained within the monitoring system. Staff conducted weekly check-ins.

[00:14:18]But in reality, her treatment began to [music] slip out of control. Scana refused medication.

[00:14:25]She complained about side effects. The injections were stopped and soon after the symptoms returned.

[00:14:34]She said she was hearing voices every day, not just once, but repeatedly.

[00:14:40]At the same time, within her own family, there was no agreement about her treatment.

[00:14:46]Scana's mother did not believe her daughter needed medication. That meant even the most basic level of control was not consistently maintained.

[00:14:58]By 2017, Scana began completely cutting off contact with the support system. She refused [music] to let staff into her home, did not attend appointments, did not cooperate.

[00:15:12]Sconna's mother came to visit. She found her daughter attempting to harm herself.

[00:15:18]Sconna led her upstairs, locked the door, then said something very clearly.

[00:15:24]if she killed her mother, everything would be okay.

[00:15:30]After that, Scana attacked using an iron to strike her, using a sharp object to cause injuries. The attack only stopped when someone intervened.

[00:15:45]After being placed back into [music] treatment, Scana began showing specific behaviors inside her own home.

[00:15:53]She turned off the boiler system, leaving the house without hot water.

[00:15:58]She removed all the light bulbs, leaving the house in complete darkness. She took the television outside and threw it away. These actions did not happen just once. They repeated, and no practical [music] reason was ever given.

[00:16:15]Not long after, Scana left the hospital without permission. At 5:00 a.m., she showed up at the home of an acquaintance.

[00:16:23]She asked to see their 13-year-old daughter. She had a knife on her. The mother refused to [music] open the door.

[00:16:31]When questioned, Sconna said she had cut her own hair instead of cutting off someone else's head.

[00:16:38]Police were called. Scana was taken back to the hospital, and on May 4th, she was considered fit [music] for discharge.

[00:16:50]The last time she met with a mental health worker was on March 11th, 2020 after 3 months without monitoring.

[00:17:00]The meeting ended with no notes, no risk assessment, [music] no warning. 11 days later, she left her home, went into Central Bolton, walked into a discount store, and bought a set of three utility knives. Later, she clearly told doctors that she bought those knives to kill someone. After that, she went to Queen's Park.

[00:17:28]Just minutes later, Emily ran past heading toward her mother. She passed directly by the bench where Sconna [music] was sitting.

[00:17:37]Sconna stood up, approached from behind, grabbed Emily by the neck, and used a knife to attack, stabbing into her neck and cutting her throat.

[00:17:47]Police later carried out a search of Scana's apartment. Inside, they found a large quantity of unused antiscychotic medication, nearly enough for a full month of treatment. That meant she had [music] stopped taking her medication for a significant period before the attack. A doctor later confirmed that suddenly stopping medication can cause a rapid mental decline within just a few days.

[00:18:13]Scana was charged with murder and possession of [music] a weapon. She was held in custody and appeared before Manchester and Salford Magistrate's Court on May 26th.

[00:18:24]During a preliminary hearing at Manchester Crown Court, Judge Richard Manel addressed the victim's family directly. I cannot imagine the level of pain that you and your wife are experiencing at this time and you have my deepest sympathy as well as the sympathy of everyone involved in the court proceedings.

[00:18:44]Initially, Scana pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

[00:18:50]Prosecutors were given 7 days to [music] consider the plea. After review, they rejected it. The decision was made to proceed with a charge of murder. A person who had not taken medication for weeks. A person who bought knives with the intent to carry out an attack. A person who attacked a child in broad daylight. And now the question is no longer what happened, but why all of those warning signs did not lead to any action to [music] stop it before it was too late.

[00:19:25]The trial of Eltonion Scana on a charge of murder officially began in court.

[00:19:31][music] The prosecution presented the central question to the jury. Was this manslaughter due to a loss of control or a deliberate [music] act carried out with intent.

[00:19:42]Prosecutors did not rely on assumptions.

[00:19:45]They presented evidence. The court heard a recorded conversation between Scana and a nurse while she was in the hospital.

[00:19:53]The content of that conversation showed that this was not a spontaneous act. It was a decision formed in advance, a planned act. That [music] placed the entire argument of diminished responsibility in a very weak position.

[00:20:10]The court was also given a critical timeline.

[00:20:13]From mid December 2019 to March 11th, 2020, SCANA had no direct [music] contact with mental health staff.

[00:20:22]a gap of nearly 3 months, long enough for warning signs to [music] appear, but not enough for any action to be taken.

[00:20:30]In a professional report presented in court, a doctor concluded clearly.

[00:20:36]Scana posed a very high risk to others with the potential to cause serious harm that could lead to death.

[00:20:45]The court also heard another detail.

[00:20:48]While in the hospital, Scana was watching a children's television program.

[00:20:53]When a child who looked like Emily appeared on the screen, she laughed in a disturbing and uncontrolled way. She told a nurse at the hospital, "Like I said, it's been 3 months, "What do you want me to do? Cry all the time?"

[00:21:10]This was not a normal reaction. It was not confusion. It was not unconscious behavior.

[00:21:17]It was a conscious response [music] to the image of a child.

[00:21:21]And while the defense argument focused on the issue of behavioral control, the evidence pointed in the opposite [music] direction.

[00:21:30]A person who had time to prepare, who took steps to acquire the means, who selected a target, and who carried out the act decisively.

[00:21:42]So the question was no longer whether she had mental health issues but whether she had control over her actions and chose to [music] act. She later told that same nurse.

[00:21:55]It was premeditated. I waited in the park and chose my victim. I did what I did and then tried to run away.

[00:22:05]On July 30th, hospital staff recorded a specific behavior.

[00:22:10]Sconna told a nurse that her body had entered her soul and that everyone was going to die.

[00:22:18]Dr. John Crosby, a consultant psychiatrist, testified in court. He confirmed that Scana was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, a condition that can cause hallucinations and disrupt a person's ability to perceive reality. According to his assessment, there was no evidence that Emily was chosen for any personal reason, no conflict, no connection. His conclusion was clear.

[00:22:46]At the time of the attack, Scana was experiencing a psychotic episode.

[00:22:52]He described the incident as a random, rare, and horrifying attack. and he stated directly he could not identify any other rational motive. But that also raised another issue.

[00:23:07]A person identified as having hallucinations, losing touch with reality, not taking medication, and clearly expressing signs of their mental state.

[00:23:19]So the question was no longer whether she had a mental illness, but why such a high-risisk condition still did not lead to any effective control measures before the act occurred.

[00:23:32]In a statement read before the jury, Mark stood in court and said something no one could answer. Mark said, "I don't know why this happened. Emily was simply riding her scooter toward her mother. I just cannot explain it." He described his daughter as an innocent, vulnerable child just beginning her life. A future that had not yet taken shape was cut short.

[00:24:00]And according to him, it was not only Emily's future that was taken.

[00:24:06]His family's life would never be the same again.

[00:24:09]The court then heard further testimony from a forensic psychiatrist.

[00:24:14]The conclusion was clear.

[00:24:17]A murder conviction against Scana was not realistic. The prosecution reviewed all the medical evidence and made a critical decision.

[00:24:27]They withdrew the murder charge. The jury was formally directed, not guilty of murder.

[00:24:35]Scana was then convicted of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. [music] What do you think about the manslaughter verdict for Elton Scana? Should paranoid schizophrenia be considered a mitigating factor when the offender had deliberately stopped taking medication and prepared a weapon in advance?

[00:24:56]Prosecutor Michael Brady QC [music] told the court, "This is not a decision that has been taken lightly by the crown. It is a decision made carefully and with full regard to the sensitivity of this case. After reviewing all the evidence in this case, [music] the crown has concluded that there is no longer a realistic prospect of conviction.

[00:25:20]A child lost her life, a premeditated act, a chain of warning signs that existed beforehand.

[00:25:28]But in the end, the verdict was not murder. The law has given its [music] answer, but the family's question remains unanswered.

[00:25:40]Breaking news in a woman who killed seven-year-old Emily Jones in a park in Bolton in March has been sentenced to life in prison. Gerard Tubs outside the court in Manchester and she's going to be held in a a secure hospital. Gerard and the judge um sentenced her as you say to be detained under uh section 45A of the mental health act. She has been imprisoned for life with a minimum of 8 years. Uh but she will initially be treated at Rampton High Security Hospital. If she's deemed well enough to leave there, she will go on to serve the rest of her sentence in hospital. The judge said she had to be punished because she had made the decision uh to buy the knife. She had made the decision to kill someone. There was an element of culpability uh in her actions.

[00:26:32]>> This was the heartbreaking statement from Mr. Justice Wall.

[00:26:37]The devastating effects of what you did will live with Emily's parents [music] and doubtless others who knew Emily forever. It is obvious that nothing I can do or say can restore Emily to her family or offer any real comfort to them involving their immense loss.

[00:26:56]After the trial, another issue emerged.

[00:27:00]The minimum term in Scana's sentence was initially set at 8 years. It was later reviewed. The result, the minimum term was increased to 10 years and 8 months.

[00:27:12]The judge confirmed in court that the original sentence had been miscalculated.

[00:27:18]He made it clear that the responsibility was his. After the sentence was increased, Mark spoke out.

[00:27:27]I will continue to fight in every way possible to keep her there for life.

[00:27:32]Whether it's 10 years or 20 years, it will never be enough for me.

[00:27:38]In my view, she is a danger to the public for the rest of her life. She will do it again to any child. I would bet my last penny on that.

[00:27:49]At the inquest into Emily's death, senior coroner Alan Walsh said, "In my 20 years as a coroner, this is one of the most tragic deaths I have ever dealt with. And the loss of a beautiful, innocent, lively, intelligent, and loving 7-year-old girl in these circumstances is an unimaginable tragedy.

[00:28:12]It is deeply ironic that experts concluded the attack was unpredictable while the perpetrator herself, Eltoniona Scana, openly admitted that she had waited and chosen her victim.

[00:28:27]So the question remains, is the life of an innocent child valued at a manslaughter conviction with a minimum term of just over 10 years simply because the offender claimed to be driven by voices in her head after deliberately stopping her medication?

[00:28:46]Now, a coroner has said the father of a seven-year-old girl killed by an asylum seeker is entitled to feel her killer should never have been allowed into the country. Emily Jones was attacked as she scooted through a Bolton Park on Mother's Day in 2020. Her killer was Albanian asylum seeker Eltoniona Scarnner, who had a long history of poor mental health. From the inquest into Emily's death, here's our North of England reporter, Kelly Forun. Despite Scarnner being well known to mental health services, the coroner today said that the local community teams could not have predicted or prevented Emily's death. He added though that if nothing changes nationally, there is a risk to future lives.

[00:29:32]>> The whole profession of psychiatry needs to come under the spotlight at some point. I think it's a real worry. It's just shocking. So, we're just gonna >> try and do our best and, you know, and in in Emily's so Emily's death doesn't go in vain. So, uh yeah, we'll we'll just keep plugging away, right?

[00:29:50]>> Just try to promote mental health awareness and the dangers of relapse and not monitoring mental health.

[00:29:56]>> I've met with other families in the Greater Manchester area that have been affected by uh you know, by homicides and lack of funding in in mental health.

[00:30:06]It's everybody knows this. You know, >> in the light of Emily's killing and the issues around Scarnner's care in the community, Bolton coroner Timothy Brennan said he'd be writing a Regulation 28 prevention of future death report to the Secretary of State. He said it will make clear my profound concerns about morale, workload, training, staff shortages, and inability to deliver continuity of care. He said the case showed a sector of health care provision that is challenging and riven with operational stress and tension. I sense a health care sector in crisis.

[00:30:45]But he didn't believe Scarnner's behavior could have been predicted by her mental health team. Emily's father, however, said those tasked with monitoring Scarnner failed to realize just how dangerous she was.

[00:30:58]>> It's just shocking and um it's it's a real it's been a real just most distressing part of everything is listened to these so-called experts that just completely different opinions on and no one really understood as far as I'm concerned the threat that the perpetrator posed.

[00:31:23]>> When speaking about Elton Scana, investigator Timothy Brennan made an important observation. We heard today from Elton Scana's sister who said that she was very unwell in the days and weeks leading up to the attack on seven-year-old Emily. She'd been complaining of hearing voices in her head. Now, her sister told the inquest that there had been previous incidents of violence where she'd tried to attack her and her mother, and there'd also been times where she'd been found with a knife outside screaming. She'd also displayed other concerning behavior including cutting pipes to a boiler. And her sister Clora said it was like living uh like a horror movie living with her.

[00:32:05]Now she disagreed with evidence given by Scarnner's consultant psychiatrist earlier today who told the inquest that she was stable and hadn't displayed any relapse symptoms of fid psychotic behavior in the weeks and months before the attack.

[00:32:24]Emily's father, Mark, said that although he was glad the investigation had concluded, [music] he did not agree with its findings.

[00:32:32]I can't believe he came to that conclusion. [music] He said they didn't recognize the threat she posed, but it was their job to know.

[00:32:41]They may be underresourced and overwhelmed, [music] but these are dangerous individuals.

[00:32:48]I don't think there is enough funding going into mental health services, but that is not an excuse, especially when you are dealing with dangerous [music] people. I don't feel any sense of closure. I want to change the system.

[00:33:02]That was my daughter. And I have a responsibility [music] to make this right. In May 2023, a coroner's inquest at Bolton Coroner's Court officially concluded the case.

[00:33:16]This inquest was not meant to reassess criminal charges. Instead, it focused on a different question. What role health services and the immigration system had played before the incident occurred.

[00:33:29]Findings were made, but the criminal outcome did not change.

[00:33:34]Elton Scana is currently being held at Rampton, a highsecurity psychiatric hospital. Under the court order, she will not be transferred to a standard [music] prison system until her mental condition is assessed as stable and no longer requiring compulsory treatment.

[00:33:52]In other words, she is not being held under a typical sentence. She is being held because of her condition, a case that has been closed on paper. Reports [music] completed, conclusions reached.

[00:34:06]But the original question still remains.

[00:34:09]A child lost her life in broad daylight.

[00:34:12]A chain of warning signs existed beforehand.

[00:34:16]A system had the information and the final conclusion did nothing to change what had already happened.

[00:34:23]The case of Emily Jones is not just a tragedy for the Jones family, but a powerful indictment of the social management system.

[00:34:32]What do we see behind the innocent smile of a 7-year-old girl on her pink scooter? It is a cruel irony. A health care system that had full records of a schizophrenic individual with a history of violence, yet allowed her to freely walk around with a set of knives in her hand. Emily Jones completed her short journey at Queens Park, but the pain of her father, Mark Jones, remains. A reminder of the systems indifference in mental health care. We call it diminished [music] responsibility. But to Emily's family, it is a permanent injustice.

[00:35:11]Hopefully, [music] this story will not end as dry numbers in legal records, but serve as a wake-up call so that no child ever becomes a victim of failures in immigration [music] and healthcare management again.

[00:35:26]Because true [music] justice is not about explaining why a tragedy happened, but about making sure it never [music] happens again.
