Grieving mum speaks out after teen falls from NCP car park

A grieving mum has spoken out about how her teenager was "let down" before he died, as she fights for change.

Tom Hollman fell from the top of the NCP car park in Pepper Street on September 4, 2017 in Chester. He died from his injuries in his mum's arms in hospital just five days later.

Now, mum Sharon said he was let down when he was alive after he was "failed" following mental health struggles, and is continuing to be let down in death due to "long delays" for an inquest, CheshireLive reports. She said: "Basically, Tom was failed in that not one person would ever step up and say 'why is he behaving like this'. There were just lots of missed opportunities."
