Look I’m just a bit shaken up, I’m just going through, uh, my husband and I are going through a bit of a separation at the moment.
Yep.
…
Um, and I’ve left him with the children and I’ve come home and he, um, he was supposed to have left when I arrived home and I repeatedly told him I didn’t want to see him, so he has threatened and abused my father, who is the children’s grandfather who was supervising the visit (begins to cry).
Yeah, OK, alrighty, what’s your husband’s name?
It’s Sam Burgess, so it can’t be made public but I just need to report it cause he’s still in the area and he’s really angry (crying).
Yeah, OK, is there any weapons on him?
Oh, I don’t imagine so.
OK, and is your dad or the kids, or no ones injured?
No, everyone’s OK.
We don’t need an ambulance?
No, no, no, no.
And have you guys got AVOs?
No, I didn’t want to do that, but his just um…
OK, and how many kids have you got there?
He’s done this to me, too, he’s done this to me.
OK, and are the kids with you or with him?
No, they were with him.
Where are the kids now?
Yep, yeah, my mums putting my son now and my daughter is with my sister.
OK, is he likely to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol?
Uh, well…
Normally, or?
Yeah, normally, that’s what we’ve been going through (crying).
Yeah, OK, alrighty.
I trusted him!
What was your name?
My name’s Phoebe Burgess, I trusted him… (crying).
Yeah.
And I have to report this because he is not supposed to behave like this on someone else’s property (crying).
Yeah, Phoebe, it definitely sounds like a hard situation for everyone, what I’m going to do, I’m going to send the police to see you.
Oh, is it necessary, do you reckon?
Yeah, look, it is.
OK.
We just have a duty of care, we want to make sure that you’re OK and just help you work out the best way we are going to deal with this, what was your date of birth?
Um, 18th of April, 1989, I promise we’re all fine, I just know that, I got, I got lawyers for this exact reason, um, and I…
Yeah that’s OK, so Phoebe, we want to come and check on you because we do have a duty of care, I know you say you’re fine, but we’ll come down just to have a chat and then we’ll go from there. What time was it that he abused, um verbally abused his dad?
Hm, he’s only just left and I blocked his calls.
Alrighty and what sort of car does he drive?
Um, his in a white BMW and obviously, and I’m just saying this, I don’t want this to be public for him, I just, he’s in a white BMW, I just know he’s angry, and I know he’s alone and he’s just acting like a f***ing idiot.
Yeah, alrighty. what we’ll do Phoebe, we’ll get someone down there to help you at (address suppressed).
Yep
…if he comes back and there’s any further drama before we get there, call Triple Zero immediately, ok?
I don’t think he will, I think he’s gone now.
Do you know his date of birth at all?
His date of birth?
Yep.
Yeah, it’s the 14th of December ’88.
Mkay, alrighty, no problem and your dad is definitely not injured?
No, no, he’s 60 years old and it’s just, he’s just shaken up (Phoebe starts crying).
Yeah.
He’s a great man, I just can’t believe he’d do that to my 60-year-old father (Crying).
Yeah, for sure I totally understand, we’ll come down and have a chat and help you out. Any mental health conditions for him or anyone in the house?
No we’re all fine, Sam’s not fine, he’s going through a lot of things.
Is it Sam or Dan?
Sam, Sam Burgess.
Sam, alright sorry, it’s a bit of a bad line Phoebe.
Sorry.
That’s ok, and your best phone number?
(Phone number suppressed)
…
No worries, alright Phoebe I’m really sorry everyone’s been through that, we will come down and have a chat to you.
I appreciate you being so understanding, thank you.
Yeah, look’s it’s definitely a tough situation, but we will come down and have a chat to you, OK? Like I said…
He’s just, he’s just done it to me so many times, and I didn’t ever realise it was bad and, and my dad said that’s just horrific.
Yeah, I, uh, imagine that it probably is, if he turns up, Like I said Phoebe before we get there, just call us.
Alright thank you. Bye.
No problems Phoebe, we will be there as soon as we can.
We’re OK, yep, we’re all right.
