Fleetwood: It’s just so tragic to hear about Kiena Dawes and the missed chances to help her. She was only 23 and had been through so much with her boyfriend, Ryan Welling, who was really abusive.
Kiena’s mom, Angela, shared how devastating it is to lose her daughter. She described Kiena as a beautiful, kind soul who brought joy to everyone around her. It’s heartbreaking to think about the pain she went through.
Before her death, Kiena reached out to the police multiple times, reporting the abuse. But despite visible injuries, nothing seemed to change. It’s frustrating to see how the system failed her.
Just 11 days before she took her life, Kiena finally decided to support the prosecution against Welling after a brutal attack in front of their baby. But even then, he was granted bail, which is just mind-boggling.
Kiena had struggled with mental health issues for years, and it’s clear that Welling took advantage of her vulnerabilities. Their relationship started off like a fairytale, but it quickly turned into a nightmare.
She faced emotional abuse daily, and even when she tried to leave, Welling would threaten her. It’s so sad to think about how trapped she felt, especially with a baby to care for.
In her final note, Kiena expressed her love for her daughter and her wish for her to be safe. It’s a heartbreaking reminder of how much she wanted to protect her child from the pain she experienced.
