Two men have been found guilty of causing the death of a 17-month-old boy in Haringey in north London.

Jason Owen, 36, from Bromley, and a 32-year-old had denied killing the child in August 2007. He suffered a series of injuries, including a broken back.

The boy´s mother had pleaded guilty to causing the death of the boy, who was seen about 60 times by social workers, doctors and welfare and family groups.

Two social workers and a lawyer have been given warnings over the case. 

 

The rest of the article with a picture of the dead baby is not for the faint hearted...

I´d call these people animals - except it would be an insult to animals.  And as for the social services involved.........I hope they can live with themselves.

 This story is just heartbreaking......It is just incomprehendible how anyone could abuse and torture are little innocent child... I have been working in child proctection for over 10 years, but not in England.... If this child have been under my umbrella or care when this happened, I know I certainly could not live with myself........{#lang_emotions_cry}

 More on this.

What is even more tragic is that the police investigation was hindered by the Social Services and red tape, not allowing essential  paperwork being provided.  You will notice that the main perpertrator was the sadistic, pain loving boyfriend 32 and not Owen 36.  Not that it excuses anthing.  None of this three should ever be allowed to see daylight again, after having some of the injuries inflicked on them first.

 Warnings!?!?!  OMG!  They are given warnings so they can go on with their job of turning the other way while abuse is going on right under their noses?????  {#lang_emotions_rant}{#lang_emotions_rant}{#lang_emotions_rant}{#lang_emotions_rant}

 

There was a similar case in the US several years back.....Child Protective Services visited the child´s home numerous times and then the child "disappeared".  The social worker went on filing reports as if she had seen the child.......who was later found dead.  I never heard the outcome of what happened to the social worker but I know she was facing charges.

 

 

 

 

And on a side note I can´t help but notice that this was an article about abuse that occured in the UK and was reported by the news in the UK.........what a concept.
