The death of Sara Sharif

[Mups]

This whole sad story is appalling.

Right from birth this beautiful little girl suffered abuse but this woke world we now live in,  did nothing to protect her from her evil family.

All this need never have happened if it had been dealt with properly from the beginning.
Shame on the Social Workers, Police, Neighbours, and everyone else who could have saved her a lifetime of  fear, pain, and abuse.

'Lessons will be learned'

The poor little girl will have died in vain.

[muddy]

How can people be so cruel ?

[muddy]

Apparently the little girl was being " home schooled " which means very little .

[GrannyMac]

Appalling, horrific case. Life for both I hope.  They should never have a child in their care again. Why were the authorities so reluctant to intervene?  No doubt we'll hear 'lessons will be learned', but that's not good enough.

[muddy]

They ought to be euthanised not fit to be alive on this planet .

[Mups]

Apparently the little girl was being " home schooled " which means very little .

The parents did that because teachers had noticed bruising on the child.   
If they kept her off school they could knock her about all they wanted and no one would know.

Another cock-up allowed by the authorities.

'Lessons  will be learned'... 

Same old crap... No lessons have been learned ...They have been saying this for years..
Social workers are scared to go too far should they upset these feckin goody goodies..
'The rights of the parents'... 

Cruel parents/guardians can hoodwink the social workers.. 
Social workers 'Pop in'.. to see what is happening.. Have a cup of tea , sit and chat to a 'pleasant' parent whilst little Billy/Annie is cuddling a dolly or teddy.. 
Nice little family scene .. all ok then.. 
Sometimes they don't even step over the front door..  

Then there are the social workers who pass the job to someone else.. A bit like passing the buck... It goes from person to person until there is no person left to get the job done ..

This wouldn't have gone on years back.. Children were swiftly taken into care.. Many times unnecessarily.. But children didn't die at the hands of the parents..

The poor love.. Such a miserable short life she had..

Killing of Peter Connelly - Wikipedia

Baby P was protected by local MP, David Lammy, and Sec of State Ed Balls. 

That went well.

Scrumpy,  when you say   . . . . .   " Then there are the social workers who pass the job to someone else.. A bit like passing the buck... It goes from person to person until there is no person left to get the job done" ..  


I agree with you.   I think all those who didn't do their job should be sacked.
Why on earth are they allowed to keep their jobs when they obviously can't do them!

Pass the buck can mean refer onto someone else.  Eventually, someone up that ladder has to liaise with relevant teams, make a decision and coordinate and ensure that action is taken.  

Seems to me that this works for the vast majority of cases but very sadly, some inevitably slip through the net with tragic consequences .

The question is then...who is best placed and knowledgeable enough to examine what went wrong and close that hole in the safeguarding fence?

It sound easy in hindsight to say what seems to be the bleeding obvious, but I suspect that in reality things are far from simple given that there so many "agencies" with their own systems and constraints in place.

I have just read a report saying that over 480  children in the UK have died in 12 months,  all from neglect and/or abuse.

It is way past time this was looked into more.

[1955vintage]

How many of those came from immigrant families?

Seems to be a trend 

[Scrumpy]

The appropriate council should be heavily fined when this sort of thing happens.. When their Social Workers do not follow a case through .. satisfactory...
Social Workers who (ignore) signs of cruelty/ negligence towards any vulnerable person should be instantly dismissed..  Without any BIG pay offs.

I was reading about another one today, Tai and Naiyahmi Yasharahyalah starved their three year old to death and buried him in the garden !  Both seem to be nutters.
