Police are in attendance at Culver Down this afternoon (Sunday) due to concerns for the welfare of an individual.
The constabulary were alerted at just before 15:28 with 2 units responding to the East Wight beauty spot.
It comes less than 24 hours after another concern for welfare call out to Culver Down, which is situated between Bembridge and Sandown.
UPDATE @ 15:55 – HM Coastguard have arrived on scene in the past few minutes to assist Hampshire Constabulary with the ongoing incident.
UPDATE @ 16:15 – The woman at the centre of the response is now safely with Police. As a result, Coastguard teams are standing down.
If you are experiencing feelings of distress or despair, you can call The Samaritans in confidence on 116 123. Help is at hand when you need it - you don’t have to be suicidal to get in touch.
People are struggling at the moment, so think before you comment
Something is wrong somewhere. This shouldn’t be happening 🙁 as you say, people are struggling but it seems there is little to no alternative for the desperate. We must find an answer and help them.
Locking down people for weeks on end has a significant psychological impact which the government seem to be totally ignoring.
I’m afraid unless something changes soon we are going to see a lot more of this.
Very true bob emergency services are busy so people shouldn’t be wasting there time ?
Another selfish act !!
Yes i totally agree. It is selfish. Even if you are a vulnerable person. What give’s you the right to put other people at risk.
Phone one of the helplines like Samaritans. That’s what there there for to help.
Wow said anon,
If they want to jump then let them! waste of everyone’s time and effort.
Join the discussion…
Mental health isn’t a waste of time.. ignorant to think so, let’s hope she gets the help she needs and doesn’t waste anyones time.. ever thought the mental health system on the island is appalling and when you ask for help it’s very rarely there
God bless anyone who is really feeling bad at the moment I urge all of us to check on friends family etc through these strange and testing times
Glad it’s all worked out in the end and for those that say these people are wasting emergency services time I’m sure have never been in that desperate situation I can comment on it because I was in that exact situation a few years ago but luckily the emergency services help me without any judgement. So thank you to all out emergency services that are doing a great job at this difficult time.
So sad, these times are hard for everyone but if you struggle with mental illness the low days are much more lower, i hope she gets the help she needs x
Vote me down whinging wighters face the truth and grow up
you sound like a bitter,horrible old man,all you ever do is post nasty cruel negative comments. iv never posted on here before but to be honest your getting right on my tits!!
Or he could be someone who has faced hard times himself and never had any help from anyone, while seeing some get all the sympathy and all the help even though they have been less deserving.
Okay, I don’t know his situation, but I know my own, and been through such bad times, but never selfishly put others at risk, when you hear the ‘reasons’ why some of these ‘vulnerable’ people are the way they are, you have to shake your head and wonder why, when you have been through so much worse and still not behaved like them, that they are the ones who get all the sympathy, so many snowflakes around today, going into meltdown at the slightest thing.
I really hope you never feel so desperate as this poor lady felt you come across as a complete sociopath devoid of all feeling
stop winging, its pathetic, just read the news, no one is interested in the warped opinions expressed here by the regular wingers , get a life, your only happy when your moaning, so boring
