this is going to sound like an excuse , which it isn't , there aren't any for this type of failure of the system , but , (always a but ) S.S just simply don't have the budget etc to stop these things from happening all the time , they are absolutely swamped by all the things they are supposed to be responsible for , i've seen just some of the things they are obliged to do under law for various sections of the community and even i ,with my negative attitude and my 'don't make excuses just get it done ' approach to most things regarding social care etc have to say that there is no way on this earth with the current resources available to them that they can be half as effective as they themselves would like to be .

Sorry .. but the only way your argument would stand would be if there had been no visits because of a lack of resources....

There were plenty of resources ..... because 17  yes [size=16]17[/size] visits were made by SS ... who then did nothing. Sorry , I'm wrong .. they did do something .. they believed a drunk..... probably because that was the "easy option" in their little tick boxes.[/quote



i can only assume that like most alcoholics the mother was a very very good liar in order to fool the social workers , i don't think it was as obvious as it is being made out , we dont play that way in manchester , if you see someone abusing a child you drop em on the spot , or at least you make your feelings known , wythenshaw doesn't have the best reputation but the people dont generally allow that sort of thing to pass by ,

Cant bear to read stuff like this, I am still haunted by the image on poor Peter Connolly from a couple of years back.

Anyone that can hurt a child deserves the death penalty, nothing less.

Agree totally. Being a new parent it made me sick reading that. More so the fact she got a little over 2 years in prison?

The phrase 'getting away with murder' seems to be a common one in the judicial system.
