Death of Baby P


My Reactions
Baby P, age a year and a half, died on Aug. 3, 2007, after many months of shocking abuse by the three, ending up with a broken back and 50 other wounds and injuries; upon autopsy, a tooth that had been knocked out of his mouth by a blow was found in his colon. The little baby had 8 broken ribs a broken back his left ear lobe was ripped from the side of the head his was missing 6 finger nails and the tip of his left middle finger was cut off. The fatal injury was a blow to the head. What has made the reaction even worse is that this all took place despite 60 visits to his home by social workers, police and other authorities. One social worker on a home visit only a week before the child's death was fooled by the chocolate the mother had hurriedly smeared all over his wounds, to hide them during the visit.

I am horrified and feel deeply saddened by this tragedy that baby P suffered. This precious baby was repeatedly tortured by a group of monsters for 17 months of his short life then left to die in agony. How could these three monsters, his mother, his step father and the lodger, have done such cruel abuse! Such a thing is not allowed to happen at all! Little baby P should have been shown lots of love in his short life instead of all these inhumane, vicious, malicious, evil deeds!

Imaging a scene that a little baby being tortured crying but still opening his big eyes, asking for hugs and comfort, at the end, being tortured to death, alone, I feel totally saddened and distraught at the thought baby P going through such pain.

Little baby P reminds me of my little adorable cousin, Eric. If such a thing ever would happen around my life, say, Eric being abused by his parents, I would definitely call the police whoever his parents are! I would definitely protect my cousin and try my best to separate his parents from him.

Back to where we were. Justice ought to be served and I hope all 3 murderers are tortured in the most horrific manner imaginable in jail everyday. As for the mother, she does not deserve to have children. She is completely mentally ill. Also, the social workers, doctors and other responsible parties should be punished as well. I cannot believe what this poor baby went through while the people who were paid, and so called highly trained, argued over what to do with him. They totally failed in the job that they were well paid to do. The authorities where meant to protect him and they failed him terribly. Everyone on the Harringey Social Services team involved should be sacked. They must feel the pain that the pure innocent little angel suffered throughout his short life.

May little baby P rest in peace. (330)
