Abstract

This chapter highlights the myriad of issues Dr Langley faced with the Australian state police officers and departments when she finally opened up and reported Rob. From being given incorrect information that impacted upon her case to being lied to and placed in harm’s way (and nearly losing her and Cayden’s lives) by unprofessional police officers, Dr Langley soon discovered that the law enforcement departments she once worked with and respected were full of corrupt, unethical, indifferent and negligent officers, many of whom were bribed by Rob’s criminal family to “turn the other way”. Still having faith in her country’s justice system, Dr Langley refused to give up and took her complaints all the way up to the State Police Commissioner. However, her complaints were never addressed and she was faced with further indifference. Despite these setbacks, Dr Langley kept fighting on to keep Cayden safe. They were told that they were being placed in witness protection due to continued threats on their lives made my Rob and his henchmen. After delivering her granddaughter herself at the local hospital, Dr Langley and Cayden were forced to relocate to another state in Australia, cutting off their ties with everyone and everything they once knew.
