1945
Dennis O'Neil, 13, was beaten to death by his foster father, Reginald Gough, at Bank Farm, Shropshire. A post-mortem examination revealed he had been starved for months and weighed just four stone. The murder trial revealed that he had sucked the farm cows' udders in a desperate attempt to get some sustenance. The case shook a war weary Britain and there was a national outcry when Gough was jailed for six years for manslaughter. An appeal court ruling changed the verdict to murder and his sentence was extended to 10 years. A Home Office inquiry identified a string of failures by the staff and agencies involved in the case. There had been confusion between the two local authorities responsible for the boy's foster placement, conflicting reports by childcare staff about his wellbeing, staff shortages and miscommunication.

1973

Maria Colwell, seven, died in Brighton after being starved and beaten by her stepfather, William Kepple. She had suffered brain damage, a fractured rib, black eyes, extensive external bruising and internal injuries. Maria had been fostered by her aunt and uncle because her mother, Pauline, could not cope with bringing up five children on her own. Five years later Pauline decided she wanted her daughter back. But an inquiry by the Department of Health found that East Sussex county council had insufficient evidence to return the girl. There were 50 official visits to the family, including from social workers, health visitors, police and housing officers. All agencies involved in the case were criticised.

1984

Jasmine Beckford was starved and battered to death by her stepfather, Maurice Beckford. He was found guilty of the four-year-old's manslaughter and jailed for 10 years. Her mother, Beverley Lorrington, was jailed for 18 months for neglect. Jasmine had been in the care of Brent social services for two-and-a-half years before she died, after Beckford was convicted of assaulting her younger sister. She was seen by a social worker only once in 10 months.

1984

Tyra Henry died after being battered and bitten by her father, Andrew Neil, while in local authority care. Neil was subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment for the 21-month-old baby's murder. A report on the case found that the white social workers from Lambeth council tended to be too trusting of the family because they were black. John Patten, then a junior social services minister, published new guidelines on child abuse cases for social workers soon after.

1984

Heidi Koseda starved to death in a locked room in Hillingdon, west London. Her stepfather, Nicholas Price, was jailed for life for her murder while her mother, Rosemary Koseda, was found guilty of manslaughter and detained in a high security psychiatric hospital. A private inquiry into her death found that the senior National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children inspector allocated to her case failed to investigate a complaint of child abuse made by a neighbour. He also tried to cover this up with a fictitious account of a visit to see the child.

1986

Kimberley Carlile, four, was starved and beaten to death in Greenwich. Her stepfather, Nigel Hall, received a life sentence for her murder while her mother was given 12 years' imprisonment for assault and cruelty. Hall frustrated attempts by social workers and health visitors to investigate. But an inquiry found that her death was avoidable and concluded that four key social work and health staff in Greenwich failed to apply the necessary skill, judgement and care in her case.

1987

Doreen Mason (aka Aysha Kuddissi my angel) died of neglect after her mother and her boyfriend bruised, burnt and broke the 16-month-old's leg then failed to have her injuries treated. Christine Mason and Roy Aston were convicted of manslaughter and cruelty and each jailed for 12 years. Doreen was on the "at risk" register of Southwark council . She slept on the floor where the couple put junk food for her to eat. A report said her social worker was inexperienced and given no proper training or supervision, and that Southwark social services department suffered from a "siege mentality" and "destructive mistrust" between senior managers.

1992

Leanne White, three, was beaten to death by her stepfather, Colin Sleate, who made her sleep on the floor. The girl suffered 107 external injuries and died of internal bleeding and repeated blows to the stomach. Sleate was jailed for life for the girl's murder while her mother, Tina, received 10 years for manslaughter. An inquiry concluded that her death could have been prevented if Nottinghamshire social services had responded properly to reports from her grandmother and neighbours that she was at risk.

1994

Rikki Neave, six, was found strangled by his coat zipper in a wood near Peterborough. His drug addict mother, Ruth, was jailed after admitting cruelty towards Rikki and two of his three sisters. She hit them, burned them, threw them across the room and locked them outside. Neave had asked a succession of social workers to take the boy off her hands and told one she would kill Rikki if they did not do something. A report by the social services inspectorate three years later said fault primarily lay with senior management in Cambridgeshire social services department.

1999

Chelsea Brown, two, was battered to death by her father. Robert Brown, who was jailed for life for her murder, had a criminal record for violence against children. Her mother, Maria Brown, was jailed for 18 months for child cruelty. The girl's social worker, Norma McDevitt, visited the family 27 times in the 10 weeks before her death. She took Chelsea to a paediatrician who said that six out of nine areas of bruising "had no plausible explanation" and at least one was deliberately inflicted. These findings should have triggered police involvement and a multi-agency case conference under Derbyshire county council's procedures, but neither happened.

2000

Victoria Climbié, eight, died from hypothermia in a tiny flat in Tottenham, north London, after suffering months of horrific abuse and neglect. Her aunt, Marie Thérèse Kouao, and her boyfriend, Carl Manning, were both jailed for life for the girl's murder in January 2001. A public inquiry into her death began in September 2001, which is expected to lead to sweeping reform of Britain's child protection services. It has heard that there were at least 12 chances for the agencies involved in her protection to have saved her. Two social workers from the London borough of Haringey have been suspended and face disciplinary proceedings.

2000

Lauren Wright, six, was found dead after suffering a fatal punch or kick from her stepmother, Tracey Wright, which caused her digestive system to collapse. The woman was found guilty of manslaughter, as was the girl's father, Craig Wright, who had turned a blind eye to her abuse. Norfolk social services department has admitted it made serious mistakes and missed chances to save Lauren. An inquiry found that inter-agency coordination was "ineffective" and social workers had not acted with "due urgency".

2002

Ainlee Labonte, two, was starved and tortured to death by her vicious parents, Leanne Labonte and Dennis Henry. The couple, from Plaidstow, east London, were jailed for manslaughter for deliberately punching, scalding and burning the toddler, who had 64 scars and bruises on her body when she died. She weighed just 9.5kg (21lbs), about half the normal weight of a child that age. An inquiry into her death found that the health and social workers who should have protected her failed to do so because they were paralysed with fear of Leanne and Dennis. It criticised the staff and agencies involved for poor communication and for failing to carry out a proper assessment of the risks facing Ainlee.

Chloe Thomas was 14 weeks old when she died in 2003 with 40 broken bones.

A coroner returned an unlawful killing verdict on Friday. Chloe's parents, from Bridgend, had both previously been convicted of cruelty.

Ukleigha Batten-Froggatt

A 30-year-old unemployed man received two life sentences today for murdering his girlfriend and her six-year-old daughter.

Mark Nicholas, 30, admitted stabbing to death 33-year-old Nicole Batten and suffocating her daughter Ukleigha Batten-Froggatt. The bodies were discovered at their home in a flat in Ossulston Street, Camden, north London, after police forced their way in. Concerns had been raised by social services because Ukleigha, who was on an at-risk register, had not been seen at school for a week.

John Smith

foster couple have been jailed for eight years for inflicting cruelty on a four-year-old boy they were hoping to adopt.
John Smith died on Christmas Eve 1999 while being cared for by Simon and Michelle McWilliam.
A post mortem revealed 54 external injuries on the toddler.
The couple were found guilty at Lewes Crown Court, East Sussex on Monday.

Deraye Lewis

It has now been confirmed that social workers in neighbouring Bedfordshire were tipped off that Halling was abusing the
little mixed-race boy some six months before the murder.

Mistake number one came when they failed to pick up the signs of Halling's racist attacks, which included stubbing out cigarettes on the little boy's body and calling him racist names.

Instead they believed the cover-up stories from terrified mum Donna, even when, according to sources, she presented herself "black and blue" with bruises from Halling's attacks on her. Three months before Deraye's death, Donna finally admitted Halling was beating her and fled to safety in Milton Keynes.

Kennedy McFarlane

An independent inquiry has concluded that the death of a three-year-old girl "could have been prevented". But it refused to apportion blame to health and social work officers saying that "her violent death could not have been accurately predicted".

Kennedy McFarlane died on 17 May last year after a blow from her mother's boyfriend sent her crashing into the leg of a bed. Thomas Duncan, 33, was sentenced to life for the child's murder at the High Court in Edinburgh in November.

The independent inquiry, which was carried out by consultant paediatrician Dr Helen Hammond, said the child's life could have been saved if Dumfries and Galloway Council implemented its full child protection procedures.

But it refused to blame any one individual or agency for her death.

Perrin Barlow

Plymouth avoids child death inquiry
02 June 2005

Plymouth Council has won a High Court battle to prevent an inquiry into its role in the death of a baby whose mother was jailed for cruelty.
A judge quashed a coroner's call for an investigation into the role of "systems neglect" in the death of nine-month-old Perrin Barlow.

Mr Justice Wilson said that, while taking Perrin into care would have saved him, the council and other agencies had no reason to suspect there was a "real and immediate" threat to his life.

Perrin died from bronchopneumonia, which may have been triggered by dehydration and malnutrition, while on the child protection register and under an interim supervision order.

His mother, Stephanie Horrocks, and her partner, Mark McAndrew, were jailed last February after pleading guilty to child cruelty. Horrocks later died in custody.

South Devon Coroner Nigel Meadows had said the inquest should cover the possible role of child protection agencies, citing his right to life under the European Convention of Human Rights.

But Mr Justice Wilson said such an investigation could only be triggered if agencies had tangible grounds for believing Perrin was in immediate danger.

He said that, apart from Perrin's low weight, there was "no history which gave rise to significant alarm about Perrin's health or safety, let alone in terms of a threat to his life".

Jasmine Galyer 3 years

The stepfather of a three-year-old girl has been jailed for eight years after shaking her to death.
Stuart Pirie, 32, of Ripon Close, Scunthorpe, pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Jasmine Galyer after abusing her over a 13-month period.
Hull Crown Court heard how Pirie shook Jasmine after she wet the bed, causing brain injuries equivalent to a child being involved in a car crash.
Mother Melissa Galyer, 21, was jailed for two-and-a-half years for cruelty.
The court heard that Jasmine was taken to Scunthorpe General Hospital on 5 February.
Pirie had told paramedics that Jasmine had fallen in the bathroom, though doctors immediately recognised she had suffered critical injuries.
The youngster died during surgery after being transferred to Sheffield Children's Hospital.
Doctors found 51 bruises on her body more than 24 hours old and eight recently inflicted.

Ashley Chadburn

Social workers have been criticised for failing to prevent the death of a two-year-old boy who drank his heroin addict mother's substitute drug.

Ashley Chadburn sipped from a bottle of methadone as Rachel Hipkiss smoked heroin in her home in December 2001. When he fell ill, she left him in the care of a 16-year-old addict and went Christmas shopping.

Hipkiss, 23, was jailed for six years after admitting to manslaughter at Sheffield Crown Court last year. An independent report into the case has accused social services of being "too tolerant of such serious drugs misuse".

In his report Roger Thompson, a former director of the NSPCC, makes 26 recommendations aimed at preventing a repeat. "There was not, in my view, a full and proper assessment of the mother's parenting capacity," he said.

The chairman of the Area Child Protection Committee, which commissioned the report, said that the committee had already implemented half of the recommendations.
An inquiry into the death of a two-year-old boy who swallowed a bottle of his mother's methadone found a "tolerance of drug misuse" among social services staff.

But the independent report concluded the tragic death of Ashley Chadburn, from Frechville, Sheffield, could not have been avoided.

The toddler died in December 2001 after finding an open bottle of the heroin substitute methadone

Caleb Ness

Five social workers involved in the case of an 11-week-old baby who was killed by his father learnt yesterday that they will not face disciplinary action.

Caleb Ness from Edinburgh was known to be at risk when his father, Alexander, killed him by shaking him violently.

After his birth Caleb was released from hospital into the care of his mother, who was a drug addict, and his father by Edinburgh City Council. He was the subject of two child protection orders when he died on October 11, 2001.

Alexander Ness was jailed for 11 years after admitting culpable homicide

Chloe Fahey aged 5

Chloe Fahey, the five-year-old girl found stabbed to death in her home in Stretford.

As social services bosses began an investigation, her distraught father spoke of the joy his daughter had brought her family in her short life.

David Fahey, 31, said: "Chloe was a wonderful, happy, carefree child. She will always be in our hearts."

Residents saw Mr Fahey sobbing uncontrollably outside his home following the discovery of Chloe's blood-soaked body in the bedroom of an end-terrace home in Bradshaw Lane at 4am yesterday (Friday).

Officers arrested her mother at the scene.

It was the second police visit to the home in 24 hours, the Manchester Evening News understands.

The previous morning, officers arrested Chloe's mother for an alleged breach of the peace and she was taken to the Manchester Royal Infirmary with minor injuries. Police then handed her case to the "appropriate authorities" - believed to be social services.

It is understood Chloe's two-year-old baby sister was staying with her family at another address when the incident happened.

After the discovery of Chloe's body, officers also arrested her father and another man outside the property but they were released without charge within hours.

Det Supt Simon Barraclough said: "Our investigation is centred around establishing exactly what happened in the house that night and finding out how Chloe died.

"However, further independent investigations will be carried out into all associated agencies to establish the chain of events at Bradshaw Lane in the previous 36 hours.

"We also called at the house in the early hours of Thursday morning and arrested a 23-year-old woman to prevent a breach of the peace. We then took her to the Manchester Royal Infirmary for treatment to a minor injury to her hand.

Victoria Climbie aged 8

A SOCIAL worker who failed to halt the abuse and murder of eight-year-old Victoria Climbie won back the right to work with children yesterday. Lisa Arthurworrey, who repeatedly failed to notice that Victoria was being tortured, was said by a tribunal to be 'another victim' in the Climbie tragedy.

The decision to overturn her ban on working in childcare means that every social worker, manager and police officer responsible for failures in the Climbie case is now free to work again protecting children. Miss Arthurworrey said yesterday that she felt vindicated by the ruling of the Care Standards Tribunal, which reversed a ban imposed by former education secretary Charles Clarke

The tribunal panel blamed not the social worker but leaders and managers at Haringey Council in north London for their 'chaotic' supervision.


Victoria, who died in February 2000, had been sent from the Ivory Coast by her parents to live with 'aunt' Marie Therese Kouao in the hope of a better education. Her body carried 128 injuries, and she spent her final weeks lying in a bath, freezing and bound head and foot inside a bin bag. Kouao and her boyfriend Carl Manning are serving life for her murder.

Courtney Crockett aged 3

Courtney Crockett was beaten black and blue by Gareth Rees during a sustained bout of violence after he moved in with her mother last Christmas.

Courtney’s natural father Paul phoned social services days before she died after noticing extensive bruising on the child’s face and bottom.

But the social worker was on holiday and never returned his call – and Courtney died the following week.
Mr Crockett, 24, said: ‘The bruises were black and blue. They looked awful.

Carla-Nicole Bone 13 months old

THE family of murdered infant Carla-Nicole Bone last night condemned as a "whitewash" a report clearing care workers of any blame for her death.

The grandparents of the 13-month-old girl said they were "appalled" by the findings of an independent investigation into her death at the hands of her mother’s boyfriend.

Although the report said that care workers should learn lessons from the case, it concluded they could not have predicted, nor prevented, Carla-Nicole’s murder.

Carla-Nicole died after a frenzied attack by Alexander McClure, 27, a labourer, at a remote cottage which he shared with the child’s mother near Huntly, Aberdeenshire, in May last year.

He picked up the child by the legs and repeatedly "swung her like a pendulum" against a wall, crushing her skull.

McClure was jailed for life last September. Carla-Nicole’s mother, Andrea, 20, was jailed for three years for failing to protect her daughter from him.

Chelsea Brown 2 years old

The death of Chelsea Brown has again called into question the intervention of social services in cases where children are known to be at risk.

'Evil' father Robert Brown was given a life sentence on Tuesday for what police have described as one of the "worst cases of child abuse they have ever seen".

The two-year-old had been tortured and shaken to death by a father who had a history of violence towards children.

Balthous Galtricia 2 years old

Mental disorder: Ntsimbi Galtricia is in hospital with knife wounds
A mother is suspected of stabbing her daughter to death four days after being cleared to keep the child by a mental health team.
The girl, two-year-old Balthous, was found dead just after midnight by paramedics who were called to her flat in Barking.
The mother, named locally as Ntsimbi Galtricia, 23, was suffering from serious stab wounds and detectives are waiting to question her in hospital. Police say they are not looking for anyone else.
Social workers assessed Ms Galtricia last Thursday but allowed her to keep the child. They stepped in after residents voiced concerns about the woman's strange behaviour. She was arrested on Wednesday for harassment of local shopkeepers and police visited her again following another complaint on Saturday.
Law House, the block of flats where French- speaking Ms Galtricia, believed to be from West Africa, had lived with her daughter for around eight months, was cordoned off today. She was well known by shopkeepers close to the nine-storey block, particularly those at the Thames Superstore.
Manager Huseyin Alacayir, 26, said he had called police to remove her a number of times. She was eventually banned from entering the premises after failing to heed their warnings.

Aliyah Ismail 13 years old

A London council has been criticised for "significant shortcomings" over the death of a 13-year-old girl who was working as a prostitute when she was in its care.
Aliyah Ismail was found dead in her boyfriend's rundown basement flat in London on 18 October last year after taking an overdose of the heroin substitute, methadone.
just a few days earlier the authorities had lost track of her after she ran away from a children's home.

Failure to listen

An independent report into the case by childcare expert Maddie Blackburn found childcare bodies responsible for Aliyah did not provide "a sufficiently effective response".
In particular, the report, published on Monday by the Harrow Area Child Protection Committee, highlights the agencies' failure to listen to Aliyah.

She is reported to have suggested as early as March that she was involved in prostitution and alleged that she had been abused by friends and relatives, although she later withdrew some of these allegations.

The report says: "More attention appeared to be given to the needs of the adult family members rather than to Aliyah."

The report also raises "fundamental questions" about how social workers should deal with cases of children who fall into prostitution and drug addiction. The council has been criticised for failing to impose a secure accommodation order on Aliyah which was obtained in the month prior to her death, but not acted upon until 16 October when she had disappeared.

The council accepts criticism that it failed to listen to Aliyah and did not follow its "fast-track" procedure to get her into secure accommodation.

Leticia Wright aged 3

The details of Letitia Wright's last agonised weeks of her life, before she finally died, were revealed to Bradford Crown Court where her mother, Sharon Wright, 23, and her boyfriend Peter Seaton, 22, are standing trial accused of her murder.
Leticia Wright was covered in bruises from head to toe, and had been burned by cigarettes, which had been held against her young flesh for at least ten seconds each time - her hair had been torn out in clumps - she had bruises on top of bruises - her scalp was covered in oozing, infected sores - she had swelling and bleeding to her bowel and pancreas which would have caused her pain until her death - she had been "branded" by a lighter - her blood was found throughout the house, even on a pair of "furry handcuffs" - her left eye was blackened and closed - and she finally died from kicks and punches to her stomach and skull which turned her head into a "boggy mass"!

Tahla Ikram aged 17 months

Sumairia Parveen, 24, burnt 17-month-old Tahla Ikram with a cigarette and sliced open his leg repeatedly until his tendons and veins were exposed.
Today (Friday, September 7), at Southwark Crown Court she was sentenced to nine years in prison for causing or allowing the child's death.
Tahla's father, Abid Ikram, 30, was also sentenced to nine years for the same offence.
During sentencing, the judge said both must serve at least half before they are eligible for parole.

Neo Graig aged 10 months

Baby death pair 'will be jailed'
Parents of a 10-month-old boy who died from massive internal injuries on Christmas Eve have been warned that a jail term is "inevitable".


Despite being on the "at risk" register, social workers failed to detect any bruising or injuries on a visit two months before Neo's death because he was covered in baby powder.

A post-mortem examination also showed that as well as his fatal injury he had suffered rib fractures and bruising and his head hair tested positive for cocaine

Ryan Hawkins Aged 4

The mother of a four year old boy who was stabbed to death during a weekend visit to his father's home has been left "absolutely devastated" by his killing, friends have said.
The frenzied attack on Ryan Hawkins came a week to the day after he celebrated his fourth birthday. His sister Donna, 14, who had called to collect him, survived the attack despite having more than 20 wounds inflicted.

Ryan was stabbed to death at a house in Royd Street, Hill Top, Slaithwaite, on September 23.
Donna survived despite suffering 23 stab wounds.
Their father, Christopher Hawkins, 47, has been charged with murder and attempted murder and is in custody awaiting trial next year.

Elijah Simpson 2003-2007 Aged 4

Police say Courtney Simpson stood by and watched as her boyfriend beat her four-year-old son to death inside an east side motel room Friday.
Montgomery was arrested on murder charges and Simpson was arrested on A felony neglect of a dependent charges after the death of Simpson's four-year-old son Elijah. The prosecutor's office has filed a 72-hour motion. No formal charges have been filed. Prosecutors are meeting with the detectives assigned to the case and reviewing evidence.
Doctors say Elijah Simpson was already dead upon arrival from a skull fracture Friday. Metro homicide detectives found restraint marks on Elijah's wrists and ankles. Detective Markus Kennedy says Simpson eventually admitted her boyfriend hog-tied Elijah for sucking his thumb.
Simpson now says she's sorry and says her son wasn't the only victim.
Indianapolis Metro Police say Simpson watched Montgomery pick up and threw Elijah to floor. The little boy suffered a fractured skull, went into seizures and later died.

Carly Townsend 16 years old

An expert has asked why a teenager who died of a heroin overdose was permitted to live with her drug-abusing family.

The mother and half-sister of Carly Townsend, 16, were convicted of manslaughter through gross negligence after failing to call help for her.

Martin Blakebrough, chief executive of drugs charity Kaleidoscope, questioned the role of social services in the case of the Llanelli family.

Swansea Local Safeguarding Children's Board said it was conducting a review.

A Swansea Crown Court jury found both Andrea Townsend, 46, and Gemma Evans, 25, guilty after hearing that they knew Carly had taken heroin, but put her to bed instead of calling an ambulance, thinking she would "sleep it off".

Evans helped her half-sister buy the drugs which killed her and Carly had been hospitalised twice for heroin overdoses.

The jury also heard how Carly's father had died through drug misuse alongside about 20 of her family's friends.

Trae-Bleu Layne aged 3yrs

Social Services criticised for failing to protect toddler

Girl, 3, killed by methadone overdose after junkie mother gives her drug 'to make her sleep'

14/10/2008

The tragic death of toddler Trae-Bleu Layne who died of methadone poisoning has forced an overhaul of practices by the council’s child protection service.
The department came under fire following the double tragedy in which the three-year-old died of methadone poisoning in October 2006 and her mother Donna Gill, of Rembrandt Way, Coley Park, died of an overdose just seven months later.
But representatives from Reading Borough Council’s children’s services department reported on the improvements they have made since the tragedy at the Education and Children’s Services Scrutiny Panel on Thursday.
Before the incident there had been 84 attempted visits to Miss Gill as Trae-Bleu was under the council’s child protection plan (CPP), but only 25 of the visits were successful.

Alisha Allen (5 Months)
January 2007

Judge David Hodson said Alisha Allen's death might have been avoided if her parents had received the proper help.

He spoke out after hearing how she was removed from the at risk register by social workers only weeks before she was shaken 'like a rag doll' by her father Gary Allen, 26.

Alisha was classified as a ' vulnerable' child even before she was born in August 2006.
But when her parents moved home a month later their new local authority decided instead to treat her as 'a child in need'.

Although they were still visited by social workers and a health visitor, Alisha's progress would have been monitored more closely had she remained on the at risk register.

In January 2007, Allen picked the crying toddler out of her cot and in a fit of rage shook her with such force that she never recovered from her brain injuries.


She died three days later in hospital.

Naomi Hill (age 4)

Joanne Hill, 32, drowned Naomi, who had mild cerebral palsy, in a bath but denied murder on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
During a two-week trial at Chester Crown Court a jury heard that hard-drinking Hill was ashamed of Naomi's condition, which meant the little girl had to use calipers to help her walk.
Judge Elgan Edwards sentenced Hill to life in prison - to serve a minimum term of 15 years.
Mr Edwards told her there was no excuse for what she did.
"You killed your own daughter because you could not cope with her disability," he said.
"You had other pressures upon you, a disintegrating marriage and you decided to kill your own daughter by drowning her.
"This has been a very sad case. Sad for you, for your husband, for the child you killed."
Hill was taken straight to prison, rather than returned to a secure unit, because of her murder conviction.
But the judge commented on her "sad" history of mental health problems and said he hoped she would be transferred back to hospital very soon.

Khyra Ishaq (aged 7)
May 2008

An educational social worker went to the home of seven-year-old Khyra Ishaq and her five brothers and sisters in Handsworth, Birmingham, shortly after they were removed from school but got no reply.
Khalid Mahmood, the MP for the area, claims that no follow-up call was made over the next two months and no one went round again.
Yesterday he demanded an inquiry into the alleged failings in the lead-up to Khyra being taken to hospital in a severely emaciated state.
Khyra, her two sisters and three brothers, were discovered at their two-bedroom terrace in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Ambulance crews tried to resuscitate her but it is believed she was already dead when they arrived.
The other children, aged between four and 12, were lying on mattresses on the floor next to their sister and were taken to hospital. Birmingham City Council said yesterday that they had been placed in foster care.
The children's mother, Angela Gordon, 33, and her boyfriend, Junaid Abuhamza, have been charged with neglect and remanded in custody.

Brandon Davis (age 2)
March 2008

Arrests after toddler dies and his brothers are hospitalised after taking parents' methadone

Two men have been arrested after a two-year-old boy died after overdosing on his parents' methadone.

West Midlands Police said the men had been freed on bail pending further inquiries into the death of Brandon Davis, who died at Birmingham children's hospital, last Thursday.

Brandon's two brothers, who also swallowed the heroin substitute, were in hospital yesterday – one is seriously ill.

Detectives have refused to specify whether the arrested men are related to the children.

A 30-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of neglect and a 33-year-old on suspicion of possession of a controlled drug.

It is thought the children took the drug after it was mistaken for cough mixture.

Neo Craig Aged 10 months
Thu Nov 08 2007

A drug addicted couple have been jailed for five years each for causing the death of their baby son.
The Old Bailey heard ten-month-old Neo Craig died from a punch to the stomach and had been dead for hours before an ambulance was called last Christmas Eve. His blood and hair roots showed a cocaine contamination from birth.
Judge Richard Hone, QC, said they claimed they loved Neo "but the bitter truth is that you loved crack cocaine more."
Judge Richard Hone, QC, said Neo was on the local authority child protection register at Havering, East London, following "unexplained" scratches and bruises.
The judge listed the catalogue of severe injuries Neo sustained later, including fractures to ribs and his right thigh.
His parents were spending £250 a day on their crack cocaine habit, funded by a £60,000 inheritance which Neo's mother, qualified nurse Sharma Dookhooha, received.
Scrap dealer James Craig, 26, and Dookhooha, 25, admitted causing or allowing the death of their son. The prosecution dropped a murder charge.

Dylan Lockerbie (5 Months) and Kyle (aged 10 weeks)

Social services have admitted to failings in their care of a baby who was killed by his father in south west Scotland.
Dumfries and Galloway Council said a mistake was made in not placing Dylan Lockerbie on the child protection register.
Ian Metcalfe was found guilty on Tuesday of the culpable homicide of Dylan, who died when he was five months old in March 1996.
Metcalfe, 34, was also convicted of assaulting and killing another son, Kyle, aged 10 weeks, in 1988.
Social services were involved with the family after Dylan's birth but did not consider him specifically "at risk", it has emerged.
Since then, a review of the case judged that a mistake was caused by weaknesses in service arrangements and an error of judgement.
However, the review did not conclude that Dylan's death would necessarily have been avoidable.

Alexander Gallon (4 Months)

A review has begun into the care given to a four-month-old baby, who was killed in a fire started by his mother.
Danielle Wails, 21, admitted starting a blaze, which killed Alexander Gallon at a house in Newcastle last year.
Wails initially clamed masked intruders who tied her up were responsible. She admitted infanticide at Newcastle Crown Court and will be sentenced later.
An independent expert has now been commissioned to review the role played by council and health officials.
The Local Safeguarding Children's Board (LSCB) is to conduct a "serious case review" into the child's death.
It will examine the role played by agencies including the city council's social services department and primary care trust.

Melissa Strickson aged 13
October 2002

FATHER has gone to the High Court to gain the right to sue local authorities after his daughter died of a drugs overdose.

Melissa Strickson, 13, died in October 2001 after running away from home with three other girls and taking refuge at the home of self-confessed white witch Sally Corkhill, of Sudell Road, Darwen.

Her father, Victor Strickson, who has started legal action against the police and Blackburn with Darwen Council, claims the authorities failed to give them help in controlling Melissa, who ran away from home 27 times.

Victor and his wife Sue, of of Tockholes Road, Darwen, say their requests for Melissa to be placed in a children's home were denied.

Melissa had a massive overdose of coproximol tablets and was pronounced dead on arrival at Blackburn Royal Infirmary.

Corkhill, 41, was sentenced to two years in jail after pleading guilty to four abduction charges and two of administering a controlled drug.

She was cleared of manslaughter.

Her lover, Lee Harrison, 31, also of Sudell Road, received nine months on four charges of child abduction.

Mr Strickson issued proceedings in Blackburn County Court in October 2002 alleging that his daughter's death had been caused by serious failures on the part of the local police and social services.

But in March last year his claim for damages was struck out by District Judge Law, sitting at Preston County Court.

Lauren creed age 5

Overworked care staff fear another tragedy
By Sally Pook Telegraph
12 December 1998

SOCIAL services in Norfolk admitted yesterday they had failed in their duty to protect Lauren Creed, the five-year-old child murdered by her mother's violent boyfriend.

Other agencies involved with the child in the three months before her death said they had made mistakes, too, and police admitted a series of fatal errors.

Director of Norfolk social services, David Wright, said that the same mistakes could be made again because of the immense number of domestic violence cases his department had to deal with.

"We failed in our duty, and for that I am deeply sorry," he said. "This could happen again because our workload now is even worse."

Graham Sate, 25, a merchant seaman, was jailed for life yesterday for the murder of Lauren, with a recommendation that he serve at least 25 years.

Sate, who battered the little girl to death, had been out of prison for less than a year, following a sentence for attempted murder, when he killed Lauren.

The child's mother, Sharon Creed, 25, was jailed for five years after admitting two charges of cruelty, one for failing for 90 minutes to call an ambulance to assist her dying daughter.

Following the sentencing at Norwich Crown Court, chief officers from Norfolk social services and the area child protection committee, the civilan police and the RAF police all admitted mistakes had been made after police and social workers failed to act on signs that Lauren was at risk.

Norfolk constabulary was criticised after two officers called to deal with a domestic incident at the child's home at RAF Coltishall, Norfolk, three months before her death, failed to examine her although they were told she was covered in bruises. They also failed to inform the probation service of Sate's convictions for attempted murder and actual bodily harm. At the time Sate was still on licence to Humberside probation service and could have been recalled to prison.

BABY P AGED 17 MONTHS DIED AUGUST 2007

Two men have been found guilty at the Old Bailey of causing or allowing the death of a 17-month old baby in a case which highlighted one of the most severe child protection failures since the murder of Victoria Climbié.

The abuse of the child, known as Baby P, was said to have taken place over eight months, during which time the boy was on the child protection register of Haringey – the same local authority that was found to have failed seriously in its duty of care to Victoria, who died eight years ago.
The 27-year-old mother of the boy pleaded guilty to causing or allowing his death at the beginning of the trial in September.
One of the men was the 32-year-old boyfriend of the baby's mother. The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was cleared of murder. The other man was Jason Owen, 37, who lodged in the same house.
Both men have been remanded in custody to be sentenced on December 15.

At 11.35am on August 3 2007, an ambulance was called to the house. Its crew found Baby P already stiff and blue in his cot. He was taken to North Middlesex hospital where he was pronounced dead at 12.20pm.
The Old Bailey heard he should have been protected by social workers, police and health professionals, but his mother manipulated them with lies and even got away with smearing him with chocolate to hide bruises.
In the 48 hours before the boy was found dead in his blood-spattered cot, it is claimed that a doctor failed to spot his spine was broken.

Baby Jack age 6 months

Couple jailed after baby's death
A couple have been jailed for three years for child cruelty following the death of their six-month-old baby.
Stacey Taylor and Mark Harrison's son, Jack, died of pneumonia at Tameside General Hospital in November 2006.
Examinations later found that he had suffered a number of fractures to his limbs and the Tameside safeguarding children board launched an inquiry.
Small bruises caused up to 48 hours before he died were also found on his face and head which the pathologist said was most likely caused by poking or prodding.
Speaking after the hearing, Det Con Kath McKenzie, of Greater Manchester Police, said Harrison and Taylor had deliberately harmed their defenceless baby.
Jack would have clearly been very ill in the lead up to his death but Taylor and Harrison did not take him to hospital or to a doctor, presumably because they were aware that the child's injuries would be discovered," she said.
"Throughout this investigation they have been unable to explain how he got his serious injuries, insisting they were either accidental or they did not realise he was injured.
"The court has found this is not the case. Maybe one day Jack's parents will take responsibility for their son's tragic and preventable death."

Ruby Spink age 11 months

A teenager who killed a baby when he spun her around and slammed her head against a wall had been banned from seeing her, it has emerged.

The youth, now 17, was found guilty at Norwich Crown Court of murdering 11-month-old Ruby Spink.

He had been barred from visiting Ruby, who was placed on the child protection register days before her death.

Ruby, who lived with her mother Laura Spink, 18, at a hostel in Great Yarmouth, died in September 2007.

Spink admitted cruelty and the judge said her care was "inadequate".

The boyfriend, not named because of his age, and Spink will be sentenced on 28 August.

The jury of eight women and four men took five hours of deliberation to reach their verdict.

Ruby Spink was being cared for by her mother at a hostel for women in Great Yarmouth

Amaraye Bryan age 11 weeks

Social services and police have been condemned for failing to stop a violent father who went on to murder his 11-week-old baby boy.
Courtney Bryan was well known to the authorities in Nottingham where he was involved in four families in which young children were seriously injured.
But a review of his case revealed there was a disastrous failure by social workers, police and health staff to communicate with each other.
Police were accused of making slow and inadequate inquiries into his attacks on two babies while social workers under-estimated the overall threat he posed. Had he been charged and punished for the Nottingham attacks, the authorities would have been legally obliged to track where he was living and the murder 35 miles away in Sheffield of his son Amaraye last year may have been prevented.
In fact, he was only charged for the earlier offences after he murdered Amaraye - a delay of seven years.
The case is the latest to reveal agency failings and follows the death, after months of abuse, of Baby P in Haringey, North London.
The serious case review, conducted by Sheffield and Nottingham's Safeguarding Children Boards, which referred to Bryan as Adult A, said: 'There was no coordinated analysis of the risks posed by Adult A and no strategic plans to address those risks.
The significant information that Adult A posed a danger to children existed but was not recognised or utilised. In particular, the investigations of several of the injuries were not completed quickly enough to charge him at the time.

Luigi Askew aged 2 Months

Earlier this month 32-year-old Duncan Mills was found guilty of murdering his month-old son Luigi on May 26 last year as well as battering the baby's mother Samantha Askew the same day.
Following little Luigi's death a statutory report on how the issue was dealt with - a Serious Case Review - has been drafted by Suffolk's Safeguarding Children Board and a meeting to discuss the findings was due to take place today.
As revealed previously in The Evening Star, Suffolk County Council would not release the findings of the public document until after the board had met to discuss it.
Back in 2002 killer Duncan Mills received a two-year prison sentence at Ipswich Crown Court after admitting viciously assaulting his then girlfriend on Valentine's Day.
During the assault he tried to force a mobile phone into her mouth and punched her in the face.
One of the questions hanging over Suffolk County Council social workers before the publication of today's report was whether social services were aware of Mills' violent past and if this was taken into account when assessing baby Luigi's safety.
During this month's murder trial it emerged Suffolk County Council social workers had been in contact with Miss Askew over concerns she was a victim of domestic abuse at the hand of former rapper Mills, who lived in London Road.
However Luigi was deemed to be “well cared” for and no action was taken.

There were shouts of "yes" from family members sitting in the court as Lord Brailsford jailed Kalyanjee for life and told him he would have to serve a minimum period of 21 years behind bars.

Kalyanjee lured the reluctant boys into spending the day with him and drove them to a secluded spot and cut their throats last May.

He then poured petrol over his sons and himself and tried to set the silver Mercedes on fire.

Daniel Muir aged 23 months

ORE than 30 injuries were found on the body of a toddler whose mother is on trial accused of killing him, a court heard today.
One juror cried as details were read out of bruises, abrasions and scratches found on 23-month-old Brandon Muir by medical staff.

The High Court in Glasgow also heard that the toddler had a ruptured intestine and fractured ribs.
Brandon's mother, Heather Boyd, 23, is accused of the culpable homicide of her son by allegedly failing to get him medical help - a charge she denies.
Co-accused Robert Cunningham, also 23, who was her partner at the time of the toddler's death, denies murdering Brandon by assaulting him in a flat in Balunie Crescent, Dundee, in March last year.
On day 11 of the trial, consultant paediatric pathologist Dr Alan Howatson told the court Brandon's ruptured intestine may have been caused by "a single trauma".
The jury was then shown photographs of Brandon's injuries, which were described by Dr Howatson, who read out 36 paragraphs from his notes - some of which described more than one injury.
The court heard that Brandon had bruises on his head and abrasions on the inside of his eye.
He also had bruised arms and circular groups of bruises on his abdomen.

Rhys Biggs ~ aged 2 months

Evil Paul Husband, the boyfriend of Rhys’s crack addict mum Claire Biggs, was found guilty in Scotland in 1993. But his past was NEVER checked by social workers.
And even if it had been, Scottish cops had not put the conviction on the Police National Computer.
It was only AFTER Rhys died with a string of horrific injuries that the truth came out.
A Scotland Yard source said an initial check on Husband on the national computer drew a blank.
An officer then ran a second check covering Scotland.
The source said: “When he did that it sprung up there was a rape against a minor.
“That should have been on the computer from the start.”
Rhys died in May 2006. During his short life he came under the care of two London boroughs — Camden and Newham.
After the breakdown of Biggs’s relationship with Rhys’s biological father, she became involved with Husband.

Rilee Saunders~ aged 5 weeks

Exeter Crown Court has been told Rilee Saunders died from serious head injuries at his home in Quarry Street, Torpoint, last March.

Leeya Akinrele~ aged 7 weeks

A SEVEN-week-old baby died after suffering a fractured skull, 20 broken ribs — and human bites to her face and fingers which turned septic, a court heard yesterday.
Leeya Akinrele had “catastrophic brain damage”. Her fingers had been bitten so hard the bones fractured.
Prosecutor Yvonne Coen said: “The injuries were inflicted by one or both of her parents.”
Jobless Kelly Inman and Olusola Akinrele, 33, from Whittlesey, Cambs, denied murder at Cambridge Crown Court.
Inman, 21, admitted allowing the death of a child. Trial continues.

Viloet Mullen Aged 15 months

A jury at Manchester Court had cleared his ex-partner, Claire Flanagan, 22, - the child's mother - of murder. Last month she was instead found guilty of causing or allowing the death of Violet by ignoring the obvious signs of abuse.
The court heard Flanagan put her desperate need for a man in her life ahead of her daughter. She was jailed for five years.
An ambulance was called to Flanagan's home on January 12 after Alcock told emergency services the child seemed "spaced out" and her lips were blue and cold.
Paramedics entered the house in Huddersfield Road, Oldham, and found Violet was not breathing and covered in bruises. They tried to revive her in the ambulance en route to Royal Oldham Hospital but she died 45 minutes after arrival.
The youngster died from internal bleeding after suffering 35 separate injuries including multiple bruises, rib fractures and brain damage, which were comparable to injuries suffered in a car crash. Alcock had moved in with Flanagan just weeks after they started dating. Sentencing the pair, Judge Clement Goldstone QC, said: "In the three weeks before her death you, Gary Alcock, subjected her to repeated violence... This was the way you chose to cope with a demanding little girl who demanded your attention and interrupted your time-consuming hobby of playing computer games."

We'll Never Say Goodbye

I cannot see you with my eyes
Or hear you with my ears,
But thoughts of you are with me still
And often dry my tears.

You whisper in the rustling leaves
That linger in the fall,
And in the gentle evening breeze,
I'm sure I hear you call.

A part of you remains with me
That none can take away;
It gives me strength to carry on
At dawning of each day.

I think of happy times we shared
And then I softly sigh,
But this I know--we'll meet again
And never say good-bye.

Larry Howland

The lighthouse breaks the haze,
In an eerie nightly mist,
Sat alone upon the harbor,
A ghostly child awaits his ship,



Dressed in shorts and cap,
A teddybear in his embrace,
Gazing blankly over oceans,
Sat upon an old suitcase,



His cries haunt the darkness,
Echoing beyond the afterlife,
He awaits the ship of souls,
To carry him to heavens light,



And there upon horizon’s,
A ghostly vessel rides the sky,
Sounding horns played by angels,
Sent to take the souls on high,



Shining bright amidst the black,
Slowly descending into fall,
Drops anchor by the harbor,
“All aboard” the Captain calls,



The touching hands of angels,
Gently lift him in there grip,
He says farewell to the world,
Then sails away into the mist.

The Gift of Someone Who Listens

♥ღೋ═══♥ღೋ══♥ღೋ═══♥ღೋ══♥

Those of us who have traveled awhile
Along this path called grief
Need to stop and remember that mile,
The first mile of no relief.
It wasn't the person with answers,
Who told us the ways to deal.
It wasn't the one who talked and talked
That helped us start to heal.
Think of friends who quietly sat
And held our hands in theirs,
The ones who let us talk and talk
And hugged away our tears.
We need to always remember
That, more than the words we speak,
It's the gift of someone who listens
That most of us desperately seek


LOVE LINDA XXX

Oh most beautiful star
In the sky tonight
You are most bright
I watch and wait
With hand raised up
Open and waiting
Slowly, oh so slowly
You move through
The night sky
You come closer
As I watch and wait
Hand outstretched
Then ever so softly
You come to rest
In the palm of my hand
You shine like a diamond
Your brilliance
Holds me in awe
I could almost wish
To hold you tight
To keep you safe just for me
In time, your light
Would fade from sight
You would die
To me and to all
So I let you stay
As long as you wish
With palm open
So you may leave at will
You will travel back
To the night sky
To shine brightly
For all to see
I will cherish
The moments you gifted me
With your light
Specially for me
For a little while…

Ring out the old
Cheer in the new,
As I raise my glass
All I think of is you.
Another year passes
More memories to store,
But, None are as sweet
As the ones befor.
A new year begins
No one knows
Just what it brings,
Still..... In my heart
Is for you a longing.
So, Ring out the old
Cheer in the new
I will raise my glass,
And Always want you.

GODBLESS AT CHRISTMAS DEAR ANGELS AND YOUR LOVED ONES.LOVE ALWAYS FROM HALINA AND HER ANGELS

A LETTER FROM YOUR ANGELS

Since we parted, you have been sharing so much of us with those around you. The memories are so fresh and real. You hold on to us so tightly in your hearts - where we shall always be.Your concern has always been for us, but we wonder how you are doing. You will never know all of the prayers that have been prayed for you, the tears that have been shed over your grief and the concern that has been shown for you in a multitude of ways, but we find it so comforting to know you haven't been left alone.Please know that we are not alone, either. The death that hurt you the most has given me the gift of eternal life. God's promises have been fulfilled in us. When we left you, God was there, waiting, just as He promised. We're surrounded by perfect love. Never let anyone tell you God doesn't exist. If you need to be mad at Him for awhile, that's okay; He can handle it. But never let hate, anger or bitterness fuel you emotions. Talk to Him and let him talk to you. Listen for Him in the voices of the people who love and care about you, and let His Word reassure you that we are doing just fine.
unknown



LOVE FROM HALINA



Merry Christmas From Heaven


I still hear the songs, I still see the lights
I still feel the love, on cold wintry nights

I still share your hopes, and all of your cares
I'll even remind you, to please say your prayers

I just want to tell you, you still make me proud
You stand head and shoulders, above all the crowd

Keep trying each moment, to stay in His grace
I came here before you, to help set your place

You don't have to be perfect all of the time
He forgives you the slip, if you continue the climb

To my family and friends, please be thankful today
I'm still close beside you, in a new special way

I love you all dearly, now don't shed a tear
Cause I'm spending my Christmas with Jesus this year

We pray that in this time of loss
You’ll feel God’s love much more
And that you’ll find your comfort
In the presence of the Lord
We pray God pours upon you
His sweet amazing grace
And overflow your heart with peace
As you live in His embrace

� By M.S.Lowndes


God is there
Reaching out to you
At this time of loss
He wants so much
To hold you close
And let the hurting stop

He sheds a tear
Each time you do
And feels your silent grief
Just know God’s love
Can reach right down
To the hurt buried deep.

� By M.S.Lowndes

There’ll be one missing Christmas,
one place at table---bare,
one smiling face we’ll yearn for
just knowing you’re not there

One present left beneath the tree
after all have been passed out,
with pretty ribbon posed atop---
a heartfelt gift, no doubt

Voices soft, diminished,
we’ll sing a Christmas song,
hoping next year’s easier
for you haven’t been gone long

The joy of your great laughter
as the children gathered ‘round---
your spirit more like ‘Peter Pan’
in revelry and sound

The snow outside---light falling,
of which you were so fond,
swift on skis and snowboard,
and skating on the pond

Cozy by a crackling fire
we’ll surely quiet sit,
recalling times your lengthy frame
would stretch in front of it

We’ll have to gather all our faith
and be of one accord,
knowing you are safe with Him---
spending Christmas with our Lord…

Missing you at Christmas poem by Tamara Hillman.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO FOR MY ANGELS X

You care about people
and it shows.
You are generous with your time,
giving of your energy,
lavish with your unselfish deeds.
I will remember your kindness to me.
Thank you for brightening my world
with your thoughtfulness.
It really meant a lot.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
