Baby P
I first saw this story when Eliza posted it at BabyLune and then again when reader Rosa sent me an e-mail.
Baby P is the name of toddler from England who died from abuse at the hands of his FBO, her boyfriend, and just some guy who hung around with them. Baby P, the 27-year-old ‘mother’ and her 32-year-old boyfriend can not be named for legal reasons. However there is no such protection for ‘the guy’ so he’s 36-year-old Jason Owen.
baby P was abused at the hands of the three for a period of at least 8-months before he died. In that time he was visited 60 times by social services. The doctor who examined Baby P post-mortem stated the child had at least 50 injuries.
No one from social services has been fired over the incident but they’ve been given written warnings? That’ll teach ‘em.
It seems that social services in the UK are just as corrupt and inept as they are here in The States.

The problem here in England is that child protection is failing for the protectors are dammed if they remove children from parents and dammed if they leave them. Much to the amazement of your Paediatricians, we have hounded out our two most distinguished experts in child protection, Sir Roy Meadow who described Munchausen’s by Proxy and David Southall who gave us covert video surveillance. This has aroused the hatred of all those whose malign take on life is the support of those who hurt children

I think it’s the same council who fucked up the Victoria Climbie case . They said it wouldn’t happen again .

Julie you are right, its the same Council. Interesting as an example of the methods used to discredit paediatricians or release Victoria’s abusers from prison is the suggestion made by a doctor who always comments in these cases and offers himself to those convicted as able to come up with some implausible disease to account for the damaged child’s injuries and fool the Judge and Jury.He is on record as saying she died of Kawasaki disease. Other women who have killed their children have been released by the Court’s acceptance of medially ludicrous alternative diagnoses.
It will always happen again because man is
vile.

I think I remember a doctor called Roy Meadow who gave questionable expert advice and caused cases to be reinvestigated . A solicitor was jailed for killing her baby based on his evidence . I think her name was Sally , can’t remember for sure . She was later released and there was a lot of doubt over the reliability of his evidence in other cases . I always thought Sally was innocent , but I’m sure he hindered the guilty cases too .

Julie, you’re right again.Sally Clark was the solicitor and she was jailed for the murder of her sons Christopher and Harry. Harry was extensively damaged with brain lung and spinal injuries and Christopher had lung changes of suffocation.Some of us like you are of the opinion that Sally was innocent but we are also certain that the boys were killed. You will have to ponder on that conclusion.

Of course, now that they’ve been caught with their pants down (again), they will need to find an “easy” case to justify their continued existence - just like here in the US. They will find a family to destroy for no legitimate reason, fabricate “evidence,” destroy any evidence that exists contrary to their case, and have something delicious to dangle and say “Look, see? We saved the children!”
Every day, another notch in the belt to prove their overwhelming uselessness.
