HSE has failed my daughter after rape, says mum

THE mother of a 10-year-old girl who was allegedly raped over a one-year period has claimed the HSE failed to properly handle her daughter’s case.

The girl, who is now 14, claims she was raped by a neighbour.

Her mother maintains delays and mistakes made by the HSE during the investigation may have prevented the DPP from prosecuting and has called for an urgent review of the case.
