IAN BORN AT BLACKPOOL VICTORIA HOSPITAL, (ironically the same hospital that deprived Ian of life)... IAN JAMES FOSTER ON 10TH NOVEMBER 1977... HE WENT TO HEAVEN ON 8TH SEPTEMBER 2006

My so loved and adored, loving, kind and beautiful son Ian on the 6th September 2006 went to Blackpool Promenade with a can of petrol and poured it over himself. Then set himself alight. On the 8th September 2006 he died as a result of his injuries.

Fireball man in critical condition
By Citizen reporter
A man is in a critical condition after he set himself on fire on Blackpool's North Pier yesterday at about 2pm.

Hundreds of onlookers saw the man, believed to be in his twenties and from Lytham, jump into the water before being pulled to shore by officers from Blackpool's beach patrol.

He was taken to Blackpool Victoria Hospital by the North West Air Ambulance and later transferred to the Royal Preston Hospital, where his condition is critical.


A spokesman for Lancashire Constabulary, said witness statements had been taken. "We are investigating the incident and are in the process of trying to notify the gentleman's next of kin," he said.

Fireball man still fighting for life (Blackpool Gazette)


A MAN who turned himself into a human fireball on Blackpool beach continues to fight for life.
The 28-year-old was seen by horrified onlookers on Wednesday afternoon dousing himself with a liquid, believed to be petrol, before becoming engulfed in flames.
Witnesses on the Promenade close to North Pier have told police they shouted to the man to head for the sea to extinguish himself.
Blackpool Beach Patrol, paramedics and members of the fire service helped get the man to the air ambulance, which took him to the Royal Preston Hospital.
He was transferred to the specialist burns unit at Wythenshaw Hospital in Manchester and is said to be suffering from 80 per cent burns.
His condition was today described as critical.

###############################################
The day before I had spent the day on the internet reading my rights on the mental health act and armed with this I rang the hospital where my son Ian was a patient and begged them to section my Ian. Then I rang his psychiatrist (unbeknown to me he had never set eyes on Ian) and begged him to to section Ian for his own safety as I KNEW Ian was going to harm himself. THE HOSPITAL AND THE PSYCHIATRIST COMPLETELY IGNORED ME AND SAID 'Ian is fine'

I wasnt informed this last time that Ian went into hospital he had been in a few days and then on the monday he rang us and told us he was there. Because of his behavior the week prior to his admittance this is why I knew that he was at risk. He appeared to be doing so well but it became quite apparent to me and Trev that he was getting really sick. We wernt informed why he had gone in this time but because of the way he had been to us this is why I made a desperate plea to the hospital and his psychiatrist to be sectioned. We were only informed after Ians death that he had gone in as he had rung the police and told them he was going to do something serious to make them kill him.....now if this is not a sign that he was extremely unwell I do not know what is...he was at risk to not only himself but others too.....and yet the hospital knew this and they still did not section him they said 'he was fine'. Well he may have been fine for that moment but he was probably sedated up to the eyes anyway.

On the 6th September my husband and I had arranged with Ian to meet with him at 2pm there was to be a meeting to discuss his care. When we arrived at the hospital he wasnt there. The hospital informed us that he had gone out. Anway we had the meeting with out him, unbeknown to us while the meeting was being held Ian my precious son was being airlifted to hospital.

I didnt know about this until about 6pm when a policeman knocked on our door and told us that Ian had had an accident and that he was in Wythenshaw burns unit. We went almost immediately. I was there until the 8th September sitting by his bed. He wasnt concsious or in pain. Ian was bandaged from head to toe. Just a slight hole for his mouth and eyes but you couldnt recognise him in anyway except by his height he was a strapping 6 foot two.

Me Trev Julie and the kids were all devastated. We had the funeral at Poulton new cemetary where he is buried. My ex husband at the time would not ALLOW me to have my Ian cremated and he was prepared to take me to court or have Ian left in the funeral home. After a month I relented and had Ian buried. It just goes to show what a wicked man Ian's real dad is he not only did a serious rape to a family member but had to have his own way even in Ian's death. The service though was beautiful, the music by Freddie Mercury, Don Maclean and Enya was all so fitting...and afterwards we sent 50 balloons into the sky with messages on from us all. Ian loved John Lennon singing 'Imagine' and that was played too at his funeral along with puff daddy.

We still havnt had the inquest yet I think it will be sometime this year. Rethink the mental health charity are providing me with a barrister for that time.


Ian's dad Trevor died since on the 22nd May 2007 http://trevor-herbert-rothwell.gonetoosoon.co.uk/..Ian thought the world of Trev and Trev thought the world of Ian. They often went for games of snooker and to watch the football at City. Ian was really into his music ..everytime we saw him he had his earphones in! listening to his latest ...he loved listening to Enya and Queen amongst many others

Ian has a daughter Ellie Mae a sister Julie and two nephews Louie and Charlie he loved them all. He also had me his mum and Trevor his dad

Ian loved Mancity and fishing and betting at the bookies, he loved going to Cornwall especially Mousehole where we spent a family holiday.
Ian had great interest in all the galaxy and sometimes you would see him gazing at the stars, we even went to the lakes especially to see the stars in the sky once on a cloudless night.

In september 2005 exactly a year before Ians death Trev and I took Ian away on holiday to Devon for a week. We had the most fantastic time in fact this picture of Ian was taken on the way home at Symonds Yat.

We still havnt had the inquest I expect it to be sometime this year.

One of the reasons I suspect that Ian took his own life was partly due to the fact that his ex wouldnt allow Ian to see his daughter Ellie Mae, he was heartbroken over this as he was a brilliant father. We did go via the court at one stage but Ian gave up as he found the process too upsetting. Another thing was Ian's real father did a serious sexual assault on a family member and Ian could never really cope or get over it.

I hope my darling son that you get the peace now in heaven that you didnt get here on earth. I love you darling. mum

Christmas Angel xx

For our Angel who’s missing at Christmas this year
Excitement fails to stop the tears

We miss you, as always, you know that we do
To say that we’re heartbroken is nothing new.

It happened so soon, we weren’t ready to part
Now that you’re gone we have an incomplete heart.

There’s a ‘You’ sized hole to never be repaired
For you are unique and should have been spared.

The days may come and the days may go
What’s certain sweet Angel is the love we know.

For even in Heaven our love goes on
Amongst clouds of Angels and bursts of song

Our love for you will always remain
Until we’re together, complete once again.

For you Sheila, and your Angel Ian, at Christmas.
Love Deb & Kit
xx xx

A Christmas Wish

How very much you're missed
Isn't easy to explain
For, words never could convey
The sadness and the pain.

Although gone now from this life
You've left memories to treasure
That are the sweetest kind
And will softly stay forever.

At Christmastime especially
You're missed throughout each day
And all those lovely memories
Are with us, here to stay.

Merry Christmas Sheila love Barbara xXx

Snowflakes from Heaven as white as can be!
Can build a Snowman for

He's cute and cuddly and full of good wishes!
And wants to give you a bunch of his kisses!

♥♥Christmas in Heaven♥♥


♥'This Christmas in Heaven
What a beautiful sight!♥
♥It's wonderful here;
Everything is all right.♥

♥The crib is adorned
With the brilliance of stars,♥
♥Wisemen have come
From Venus and Mars.♥

♥I've met all our dear ones
Who preceded us here;♥
♥The reunion was lovely,
An event full of cheer.♥

♥And tonight we'll all gather,
In reverence we'll kneel,♥
♥For the Babe in the cradle
Up in Heaven is Real.♥

♥I think of my family
that I left behind♥
♥And I pray that your Christmas
Is as blessed as mine♥

♥Please shed no more tears,
For my soul is at rest,♥
♥Just love one another;
Live life to its best.♥

♥Yes, It's Christmas In Heaven,
So I've heard them say,♥
♥Yet, Christmas In Heaven
Happens every day.♥

I gave him eyes

I gave him ears

And humble cares

And delicate fears

A heart the fountain of sweet tears

And all the love and joy i could give my precious boy




Now i ask you god

YOU ARE MY ONLY HOPE


Or even ask the blessed mother

TO FIND IAN FOR ME

Give him the biggest hug
and make sure you tell him

I LOVED HIM MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF!

IM A BROKEN HEARTED MOTHER, AND I'LL BE SO LONELY THIS CHRISTMAS WITHOUT HIM HERE

My Christmas wish for you, my friend
Is not a simple one
For I wish you hope and joy and peace
Days filled with warmth and sun

I wish you love and friendship too
Throughout the coming year
Lots of laughter and happiness
To fill your world with cheer

May you count your blessings, one by one
And when totaled by the lot
May you find all you've been given
To be more than what you sought

May your journeys be short, your burdens light
May your spirit never grow old
May all your clouds have silver linings
And your rainbows pots of gold

I wish this all and so much more
May all your dreams come true
May you have a Merry Christmas friend
And a happy New Year, too ..

Thank you so much Sheila for all kind words,Pictures and for thinking of Richard. God bless love Barbara xxxxx

God doesn't give you the people you want, He gives you the people you NEED - To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you were meant to be. Dear God: The lady reading this is beautiful, classy and strong, and I love her. Help her live her life to the fullest. Please promote her and cause her to excel above her expectations. Help her shine in the darkest places where it is impossible to love. Protect her at all times, lift her up when she needs you the most, and let her know when she walks with you, She will always be safe. Now you're on the clock!!!! In 9 minutes something will make you happy. But you have to tell 9 sisters you love them, including me. Go!!!!
