The stepmother Eileen punched her gravely ill husband Jack in the face while he was recovering in a hospital bed, after he declined to sign a new will that she had presented against his wishes.
Eileen traveled over 280 kilometers to Station X, where her nephew's colleagues were on duty. According to her sworn affidavit for Family Court she wanted to verify whether there was an ADVO placed against her. Whilst she was at Station X she found out personal details in the police system regarding her stepson Mark. The officer breached the stepson's privacy and gave the confidential information to her to use against him in legal proceedings and to attempt to tarnish Mark's character.
The stepmother, facing legal repercussions, fled to her daughter's residence in Queensland to evade being served an Apprehended Domestic Violence Order (ADVO) by New South Wales Police, aimed at protecting her critically ill husband whom she had assaulted.
​
The stepson, accompanied by his wife, his gravely ill father, and two police officers from the Ram Station, visited the property in an attempt to retrieve the gravely ill father's personal belongings from his home, from which he had been locked out of.
The Ram Station served an Apprehended Domestic Violence Order (ADVO) for Eileen through her family lawyer, as she had fled to Queensland. This order was established to ensure the safety of Jack, her gravely ill husband, whom she had assaulted by punching him in the face while he was in his hospital bed.
​
The Ram Station did not conduct an interview at all with Eileen and neglected to investigate the ADVO matter entirely.
