Lessons will be learned

Everyone must have read in the papers the story of the little boy who was tortured,then beaten to death.Although he was seen on sixty different occasions,by Social workers and Doctors,he was still sent back to his mother,stepfather and their lodger,who were all abusing him.This is the same team of Social Workers who failed to notice another little girl some years ago,who was also being abused and was beaten to death.
It would appear \"Lessons were not learned\".Yet again they have closed ranks,no one will lose their jobs.I just hope they can sleep at night,I could'nt after reading about this poor little soul.They were there to protect him,but yet again they failed in their duty of care.

I havent read it or anything but I have been told of it ...
I think its sick and horrid that they can do that to such a innocent child that doesnt even no how to protect them self or even know the right from wrong unlike his carers. It also wrong and unacceptable that after so many times noone did anything about it. Its about time they got they back sides and did their job, to protect the children that need them.

You are so right Cheeky,under the new animal welfare bill,if he had been a cat or dog he would have been removed from their care and rehomed, it is a great pity that we dont offer the same care to our young children.

this is so sad....

not only let down by social services, but also by the health service... .........how can this sort of miscommunication and bad judgements still be happenning?....

It appears that an investigation is to be carried out...Sack everyone connected with the case and take them to court for voluntary manslaughter xxxx :evil:

If they cant sack them, give them a job cleaning the loo's, it would appear that is all they are fit for.
They could take Gordon Brown with them.<br><br>Post edited by: Dorrie, at: 2008/11/13 16:11

All want the overtime I guess.
It's a pity no one was prepared to do any extra to save a little boy's life:angry:
Heads must roll for this,or there is no justice in this country anymore:angry:

i agree dorrie.

but am worried that all will not get any better......they sacked ppl before when that little girl died after much abuse....this is not so long ago....and yet, here it is happenning again.......i have very little confidence in this councils ability to change....

i would be happier and feel safer if local council not overseeing social services here

I agree Gordon Brown is between a rock and a hard place, I think he has to be seen as taking some sort of action,David Cameron will not let this go.How many more youngsters are there at risk, with nothing being done to help them,it gives me nightmares thinking about it. :
