Paul was admitted into hospital seriously ill. The hospital staff said it would be necessary for Paul to go into a care home. Robert and Diane refused to allow him to do so and insisted Barbara should look after him at home. This was because they did not want to depreciate the estate with care costs. |

Peter heard his father Paul is seriously ill and had been taken to hospital and drives to York. When he arrives there from his home in Austria, he is shocked to find his mother Barbara’s minor leg injury has become very serious due to neglect by Robert.
It is clear to Peter that Robert and his family have abandoned his parents so he stays for a month until Barbara is well enough to be left alone, then returns home. |

Peter returns from Austria, as Paul is due to be sent home from hospital the next day after 7 weeks of serious illness.
Barbara contacts Robert and his family and asks them to come around to discuss how Paul is now going to be cared for. Robert, his wife Shirley and daughter Diane attend meeting in Rosedale Avenue. They refused to discuss the subject and their only offer of help was to tell Barbara she should not run around after her bed-ridden incontinent 87 year old husband of sixty years. The family were unable to come to an agreement on how to care for Paul. Barbara told them to leave. On her way out, Diane called Barbara a “stupid old bitch”.
At this point, it was clear that Robert and his family were not going to look after Paul and Barbara and Peter knows Barbara cannot cope, so he became their full-time carer. |

Robert’s demand for his Mother (who was a confused and frightened 79 year old) to hand over her life savings to him under threat of legal action was a serious criminal offence of Making an Unwarranted Demand with Menaces. In this context, it is very significant that Robert, Diane and Martin Hofschröer have never given any justification as to what claim he has against his mother’s savings, or why she should hand them over to him, or what he wants to do with them when he gets them. |

It is clear to Peter that his parents home 74 Rosedale Avenue, which has only one toilet upstairs is completely unsuitable for the needs of his parents, who are both incontinent and they need to move. Peter finds suitable sheltered accommodation for his parents at Fairfax Court and after discussion wit his parents, puts 74 Rosedale Avenue on the market to finance the purchase of the flat. The flat is half way between Robert’s house and Diane’s house and Peter is still hoping they will play a role in the care of Paul and Barbara. Robert contacts Halifax estate agents without reference to his parents to block the sale of house, thereby preventing the financing of suitable sheltered accommodation for Peter and Barbara. |

Copies of this e-mail correspondence were sent to Anne Bygrave, Ralph Edwards and Anne Tidd by Mark Bednarski. These matters had nothing to do with York Council or improving the care of Barbara and Paul. Robert Hofschröer is closely associated with York Council because he is runs the York Deaf Society, which is a Council funded organisation for deaf people in York. In this respect, York Social Services have exceeded their authority and appear to be trying to assist Robert in forcing out Peter, so that he can continue his campaign to obtain his parents’ savings.

Diane shouts abuse through the letter box and rings the doorbell repeatedly. The 999 call operator remarks on the noise she is causing. Robert bangs on window. Police are called to remove them. Only when a Police officer shows them a request to leave signed by Barbara in the Police officer’s notebook would they go. The Police later claim that Peter ran out of the house and caused a breach of the peace and that they interviewed his neighbours, who supported their claim. The neighbours are willing to go to court to refute this claim.

Paul dies. Peter and Barbara have been up all night at his bedside. Peter and Barbara are exhausted having had many nights of lost sleep tending to him and emotional stress from his obvious terminal decline.
Robert, Diane and Martin arrive with a Police escort. [Police have no reason to be there, given that Peter invited Robert to see his father.] Robert forces his way in and pushes Barbara, who was just walking out of the living room. Peter stands between them to prevent him from injuring her. PC Brocken pushes Peter out of the way and threatens to arrest him. On the female Police officer’s signal, Diane and Martin charge into the house against Peter’s expressed wishes. WPC Lowery takes Barbara into the living room, but returns to the dining room on hearing Diane, Martin and Robert shouting. Robert leaves the house, brandishes his fist at Barbara and Peter, saying “I’ll get you”, being a threat to do violence to Barbara and Peter which Peter believes could have been fatal to is mother. Diane and Martin follow him out, having called Barbara a “wicked woman” and a “wicked witch”. They did not let Barbara explain what had happened to Paul, did not enquire, did not express any condolences or sympathies to Barbara on Paul’s death and other than make threats and bawl abuse, said nothing else.
Both Constables subsequently allege that Robert and Martin abused Barbara in written evidence to the IPCC
As a result of this, Barbara no longer wishes to have anything further to do with Diane and Martin.

Robert first agrees, Peter obtains an estimate for the works to put install a ground floor toilet where the kitchen is currently, then build an extension for a new kitchen and a conservatory which came to £80,000. Robert then drags out discussion then refuses to go ahead with it. Peter e-mailed Robert on 28 January. Robert’s response was to have his solicitor send Peter a threatening letter, to which Barbara’s solicitor replied. Robert agreed to let the alterations go ahead on 5 March. He then failed to respond to requests to meet to discuss this (see 55). |

CYC agree to hold a joint safeguarding conference with NYP to determine if Mrs Hofschröer is being abused by their colleague Robert Hofschröer.
Mike Hodgkiss of CYC writes to Peter refusing to allow Barbara or Peter to give evidence in person to the conference or to put their written evidence in the form of a Harassment Diary before the Safeguarding Conference because he alleged that it covered ground covered in a previous conference. This is contrary to CYC policy which states that all information relating to the case should be considered to have a complete picture (P32) and “The alleged victims views should be heard” (P40) Subsequently, Mr Hodgkiss admitted that there had been no previous safeguarding conference.
The meeting then concluded that:
1. There was no evidence to support the allegations of abuse, because the Harassment Diary was not put before the meeting, nor was the evidence of the Registrar, 999 operators or the two constables that attended the 3 January 2009 incident above.
2. That Robert Hofschröer owned 74 Rosedale Avenue, which is factually incorrect and contrary to law.
3. The transfer of the house was a civil matter, which is factually incorrect and contrary to law joint CYC and NYC safeguarding policy.
4. The allegations of harassment were not commented on which is contrary to joint CYC and NYC safeguarding policy.
5. The allegations of demanding money with menaces were not commented on which is contrary to joint CYC and NYC safeguarding policy. |

Moreton issues Harassment Warning to Peter for allegedly harassing the discredited martial arts expert and former employee of CYC Mark Bednarski, by distributing e-mails and “literature”. The warning is not valid, as it has not been signed or dated and Inspector Moreton cannot produce:
1. A witness statement,
2. Signed complaint,
3. e-mails or “literature”
Neither is it warranted, as there are no grounds for issuing it. Mark Bednarski left the employment of CYC in September 2009 and so any e-mails or literature used by Bednarski to support his complaint are stolen property. Further, his complaint is malicious because all correspondence related to his job at CYC, he had left CYC two or three months earlier and is no longer receiving any e-mails from Peter Hofschröer |

Robert sends Barbara a mother’s day card in which he taunts her about not being able to come home again. He includes two photos showing work he has done on the house – the kitchen and the outside wall, but does not send photos of the rest of the house, as this would show that he has stolen or disposed of all her and her late husband’s possessions. |

Strausz issues a report declaring Peter to be “paranoid” without ever having examined him. This report contains numerous errors of fact. For instance, one of the original reasons for declaring Peter to lack capacity was that he was “aggressive”. He is now being declared to be “paranoid” because he is a placid person. |
