Shoesmith has been sacked, and there have been 2 further resignations!!
About blo ody time!
About blo ody time!
beginning to read like an outraged brasseye episode this.
do we really know all the facts to make statements that people should be done for aiding and abeting?
Just because something happened on their watch does not mean that they allowed it. To allow about it would be to know.
No one says that some incompetent people havent been involved & that a failing system contributed to this.
However I doubt very much that the social services individuals involved acted in anything but good faith, despite all their obvious failings.
Some people end up working in all sorts of professions, making mistakes & never getting put on the cover of the sun. I really think we should all get the report & read it in full before making sun like statements.
the timeline of this case is here
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7729045.stm
from December 2006 the baby was found to have bruises etc and mother arrested
over 60 visits
on the protection register
she even smeared him in chocolate to hide wounds - the examiner thought not to wipe it off despite her history with the baby
its not about "Sun Sensationalism" - this case came after the Climbe tragedy as well - same council
this is about repeated failures on the part of several sectors of child care
and how the f uck do they produce a report into something so deep as this case in the time it has taken? politics schmolitics. it needs a root and branch.
if its resources & training - this can be traced all the way to the cabinet. What does the sunds petition say?
I believe that ALL the social workers involved in the case of Baby P, including Sharon Shoesmith, Maria Ward and Gillie Christou should be
sacked - and never allowed to work with vulnerable children again.
I call on Beverley Hughes, the Children's Minister, and Ed Balls, the Education Secretary, to ensure that those responsible are removed from their positions immediately.
I also demand that the doctor and health visitor involved with Baby P, Dr Sabah Al-Zayyat and Paulette Thomas, should also lose their jobs.
Pathetic. Makes me sick. If we are going for accountability, you go for the top if you have any principles. Hughes, Balls et al.
it would be nice if all the social workers doing good jobs made the front pages instead the one tragic incident that does
it's media sensationalism - and as usual, the mob, calling the shots
thousands of babies are being brutally slaughtered around the world every day - in Darfur, the congo, burma, china, sudan and elsewhere - but hey those places are far away and they're not pretty, blue eyed-babies, that we can identify with are they...![]()
it's a witch hunt now, none of it is going to bring the little guy back, or reverse the harrowing experience that was his short life. Im all for a complete review and overhaul of the system on a national level, but for christ sake do it quickly, do it decisively and lets stop it happening again and lets get those in current danger into safety asap!!!!
Everyone is jumping on the "this is an outrage" bandwagon
i hear what youre saying here,but if you read/listen to the interview given by the 'whistleblower',she states that she made the department,councillors & ofsted aware of haringeys' failures and short comings dating back to 2004!..she sent emails to top level officials also,but all the info provided fell on deaf ears...and as a result of her efforts she was ostracised and gagged by the department!..so to (me) the aforementioned,together with the incompetency of the workers involved in effect was allowing baby p to suffer the cruelty that he did..beginning to read like an outraged brasseye episode this.

It all reminds me of the Buffy Episode "Gingerbread"
I haven't seen that one yet !
. But I'm getting lynch-mob texts about it from people who I know probably wouldn't give a t0ss if it wasn't a blue eyed, gorgeous little boy. Infact they probably wouldn't even know who Victoria Climbie was. It's a tragedy, and the people responsible should be held accountable for it. But let the little lad rest in peace for pity's sake!
