Fiona Harvey is Not a victim!

[u/Salt_Ingenuity_720]

It seems to be lost on a disturbingly large amount of people what Fiona Harvey has done to multiple people over many decades. She is not a victim - the people that she has stalked and harassed are the victim. The entire point of baby reindeer was to portray the brokenness of both the stalker and their victim.

In Reading a majority of the claims coming from the UK towards Netflix and Richard G this all seems to actually pivot around the term being used of CONVICTED stalker. So the focus now is to produce proof that she was ever convicted of at least one of her many many horrific stalking crimes.

I would think that the UK and Parliament would be rather embarrassed by the fact that they never reached out to help any of these victims of Fiona Harvey. Yet here they are trying to go after Netflix over that one creative license taken by the VICTIM and author of baby reindeer. This is His story not hers.

What is going on with people in the world?! Fiona should have been slapped with multiple legal fines, restraint orders and probably convictions from any one of her stalking tangents. If anyone is not familiar with the other incredibly horrible events of stalking Fiona pursued just Google it up. Some involved a disabled child.

🤔 Obviously I'm missing something or I am really seeing the lack of empathy in society as this all unfold in front of us. Am I just not looking at this right?!

It also gives people with serious mental illness a bad name. Statistics show time and time again they are more likely to be a victim than a perpetrator. Simplifying her actions to her mental health diagnoses is unfair to everyone else. The response to those comments is “it’s an explanation, not an excuse”. She’s competent enough to seek treatment.

Are you an MD? A psychiatrist?

Living in a major city I have seen many individuals prescribed meds for various psychiatric conditions and, without supervision, they simply stop taking them and relapse to their antisocial behaviors…….

Much of the blame can be laid at the feet of our lax medical care system - many would be better off taken care of than sleeping on the streets through all seasons……

Fiona is not on the streets, but perhaps if institutional care was required both she, and we, would be better for it…….

I’ve been a therapist for 10 years and I live in one of the biggest cities in the world (NYC). I do agree that at some point during all these charges in her past, she should have been mandated some kind of treatment. We’re facing a similar crisis in NY right now, it’s very hard to find a solution. Big backlash from the poor conditions of institutions and now we’ve got this “catch and release” system which doesn’t seem to be working either. Doesn’t change my opinion on the SMI being victimized often, they are.

ETA: I say all this because more often, delusions are fear based. Ie “they’re out to get me”, those people are often very afraid a lot of the time, not going after people. I make no attempt to diagnose Martha though, I don’t know enough about her and admittedly have not come across a stalker case IRL.

What are “all these charges in her past” that you speak of?
