Desperate dad is forced to call major radio station to beg for help over fears his daughter will be MURDERED by her ex-partner
A desperate father has begged a major radio station for help because he fears his stepdaughter will be murdered by her abusive ex-partner.
2GB radio presenter Ben Fordham told listeners on Thursday that he had been contacted by a father who feared his stepdaughter Sarah* was in ‘grave danger’.
Father Mark* said Sarah is constantly harassed and intimidated by her ex-partner who has been found guilty of crimes related to domestic abuse.
“He has since breached the ADVO and two police stations have prepared charges for the breaches, but each time Port Macquarie officers and prosecutors have backed down and refused to hear the case,” Mark wrote.

“The other police stations, Fairfield and Granville, were outraged that Port Macquarie would not take action against what they believed were clear offences.
‘This man is just laughing at the police and his criminal record proves that he is only escalating his violence.
‘I’m convinced he’ll kill her. We are pleading for help to expose this and prevent my stepdaughter from being murdered.”
Mark called into 2GB radio to discuss the ‘consistent inaction of the police’.
“She’s at the point now where she really believes he’s going to show up and hurt her and possibly her children,” he told Fordham.
“She’s almost resigned to the fact that he’s going to show up and kill her.”

Mark said his father and brother-in-law had been police officers for a combined 55 years and he worked as a prison guard.
“I deal with these people every day I go to work,” he said.
“I let these people out every morning and lock them up at night and I know how they behave, that’s how this person behaves.
“Yet the NSW Police don’t seem too interested in that.”
Mark said several women who had dated his stepdaughter’s ex-partner told him the relationship had ended in physical violence.
“There has been choking, breaking into a house to physically assault his partner, that was in Victoria where the system is an absolute joke,” he said.
‘He was fined and had to attend a counseling program on respecting women. I’m not sure how he managed to pass that one.
“The justice system in Victoria is such that he could easily get away with a fine for breaking into a house and strangling his ex-partner.”
Ben Fordham said he would forward Mark’s letter to the office of NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb (pictured at a press conference earlier this year)
He said his stepdaughter was terrified every time her phone rang.
‘She’s terrified in her own home. This guy got her address through means we don’t understand, so he knows where she lives,” Mark said.
‘He could get up there at any moment. I reported it to the police, but no one investigated it. No one. She knows the police won’t act.
‘What’s the point of the Prime Minister and all those people jumping up and down at press conferences and getting themselves on TV if no one takes action.’
Fordham said he would forward the message to NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb’s office and bring it to the attention of NSW Police.
