The parents of Harry Parker have been left feeling 'angry, let down and neglected' as the case into their son's death has derailed. 

Harry died just days before his 15th birthday on the morning of November 25, 2022, when he was struck by a car while on the way to school that did not stop at the scene. 

Ivy Mwangi, a carer from Redhouse, was arrested in November 2022 shortly after the incident and was later charged in March 2024, leading to several court hearings. 

The pair were bracing themselves for a further court hearing on December 6 that would've seen Crown Court Judge Jason Tyler KC hear evidence on whether or not the case should be continued after objections were raised by Mwangi's defence counsel, ahead of a trial booked in for next year.

But proceedings didn't even make it to that point as they were called a surprise meeting at Gablecross Police Station on November 13 where they were told by Wiltshire Police and the Crown Prosecution Service that there was not enough evidence to proceed.

"We thought we were going there to discuss the upcoming hearing," Kelly said, "But then someone we didn't even know told us they were dropping the case and I was speechless, I had to leave the room."

Adam described having a strong reaction and added: "I couldn't believe what I was hearing."

Adam and Kelly Parker say that the possibility of them getting justice for their son was what was keeping them going, but now neither of them knows what to do next. 

Ms Mwangi had been charged with causing death with careless driving, causing death while driving without a licence and causing death while driving without insurance. 

But in a statement, the CPS said “It has become clear that there is not enough evidence to demonstrate that this collision could reasonably have been avoided, and therefore that the driving was careless."

The Parkers understand that this is because Harry is believed to have stepped out onto the road and accept there may be insufficient evidence to prove careless driving. 

But when they asked about the possibility of continuing with the other charges including being unlicensed and uninsured to drive they were told that there was a time limit to bring those charges and that had expired.

This effectively means any current legal proceedings have ended.

"There's no justice for Harry at all," Kelly said, "It's like they are done with him now and he doesn't matter anymore.

"This whole time we were promised that the case was good and it was strong and we would get to trial and now there will be nothing."

Adam said: "The police and the CPS have failed us, we trusted them to do their job and they haven't 

"They might as well say to people, it’s alright, you can drive with no licence, drive as you wish, go and do whatever you want to do, what is the point of any of it?

"Our 14-year-old boy lost his life because she wanted to drive her car, it’s unfair we’re doing time for the rest of our lives and we’ve lost our boy, but nothing will happen to her."

The pair, who launched the Harry's Get Home Safely Campaign shortly after Harry's death, are now considering what their next steps will be.
