Freed babysitter's jail torment (BBC News)

From the moment she was convicted of child murder babysitter Suzanne Holdsworth was mentally abused and taunted in jail. But the 38-year-old does not blame her fellow inmates for their treatment of her during the three years she was locked up for the killing of two-year-old Kyle Fisher. Speaking to the BBC by telephone from prison, she said: "When I went in I was abused and called a 'nonce'. "I would go back to my cell and cry and cry and cry. "But I can't fault people, I would have been exactly the same. They thought I was a murderer. "But I was innocent and had done nothing wrong." Ms Holdsworth's nightmare began in 2004 when she was looking after Kyle, the son of her teenage neighbour Clare Fisher. Ms Holdsworth was caring for him at her home in Hartlepool when he suffered a fit.During her 999 call she said the youngster's eyes were rolling and he had gone floppy. But the police insisted the former supermarket worker had battered Kyle's head against the banister in her home in Millpool Close in a bout of rage. In March 2005, a jury agreed with the prosecution case and Ms Holdsworth was given a life sentence and told she would spend at least 10 years behind bars.

Mistakes that convicted innocent babysitter (BBC Newsnight)

Look at Kyle Fisher's right eye. Behind his drooping eye was a damaged brain. Look at his head. It was abnormally big. Babysitter Suzanne Holdsworth - free today after a retrial - spent three years in prison after she was convicted in 2005 of murdering Kyle because of this simple logic: Kyle was essentially healthy, then he was killed. The simple logic was wrong - Kyle's brain had five separate disorders - and that mistake led to a terrible miscarriage of justice. That miscarriage only became clear when Newsnight reported on it a year ago when Ms Holdsworth was still in prison, and was only righted when a jury at Teesside Crown Court found her not guilty. After Ms Holdsworth, 38, was convicted in 2005, Cleveland Police boasted of "a relentless investigation" led by Det Supt Tony Hutchinson, the now retired "super cop" who nailed "canoe man" John Darwin. Far from being relentless, too many things that should have been investigated properly were not investigated. Ms Holdsworth was alleged to have smashed Kyle's head against the banister at her home. But there was no visible blood, no hair, no skin on the banister, and no DNA test was carried out. The accused's partner, Lee Spencer, who has stuck by her throughout, told me: "They didn't do a DNA test on the alleged murder weapon. "I'm no Sherlock Holmes, I drive a cement mixer, but what kind of investigation was that?" Earlier injury The babysitter said in her frantic 999 call that Kyle was suffering from a fit - and never changed her story. Home Office pathologist James Sunter, now dead, reported after the toddler's death in July 2004 that Kyle's brain was essentially normal - one of eight findings he got wrong.

A babysitter who spent three years in prison for the murder of a neighbour's two-year-old son has been found not guilty at a retrial.
Suzanne Holdsworth had been accused of banging Kyle Fisher's head against a banister in Hartlepool in July 2004.
Ms Holdsworth, 38, now of Boggart Hill Drive, Leeds, was convicted in 2005.
However, doubts were raised about her conviction by journalist John Sweeney in a report for BBC Newsnight and the conviction was quashed in May.
The jury at the retrial at Teesside Crown Court deliberated for two days before returning the not guilty verdict.
The mother-of-two was originally convicted of the murder in March 2005 and jailed for life.
She was released from prison earlier this year after serving three years.
During Ms Holdsworth's original trial she was accused of repeatedly banging Kyle's head against a wooden banister with as much force as a 60mph crash after losing her temper.
The Newsnight programme interviewed leading neuro-pathologist Dr Wainey Squier who later gave evidence for the defence in the retrial.
She said it was "unlikely" Kyle had suffered a massive blow to the head.
'Terrible experience'
Standing next to Ms Holdsworth outside the court on Thursday, her partner Lee Spencer said: "This case has always been about Kyle, who was a loving child, a little boy, who Suzanne's always loved and helped look after.
"We know his family deeply loved him and miss him.
"Sadly we now know that he had some bad medical features that led to his sudden collapse and death.
"We hope that this knowledge will help his family come to terms with his death. "This has been a terrible experience for Suzanne and our family and we now just want to try and pick up the pieces of our lives together."

Social services shake-up proposed (ITV News)

Watch The News Broadcast At The End Of The Article:

Social services are set to be shaken up in the wake of the Baby P and Shannon Matthews cases.
Schools Secretary Ed Balls said £200 million is being pumped into a new fund to bring education, health and children's services under one roof.
The fund will allow children and families to access the services they need simply, and encourage agencies to work closer together.
Mr Balls and Health Secretary Alan Johnson will also formally announce the creation of a new task force to look at every aspect of social work, including leadership.
Ministers want to see future chiefs of local authority children's services gain experience in both schools and social work before they are appointed.
Training schemes will be changed, with more emphasis on "on-the-job" learning and the introduction of a new "qualifying year" in which new staff will get hands-on experience before they qualify fully.
The proposals come after Haringey social services in north London was severely criticised in a damning report into the death of 17-month-old Baby P, who suffered appalling abuse at the hands of his mother, her boyfriend and their lodger.
The council's leader and cabinet member for children resigned while the director of children's services, Sharon Shoesmith, was sacked on Monday.

Calls for review of children's care (ITV News)

Watch The News Broadcast At The End Of The Article:

Children's services look set to be closely monitored following the failings over the Baby P scandal.
Ofsted inspectors have called for changes to the way most serious incidents of abuse are investigated, after reporting a third of serious case reviews were inadequate.
Chief inspector Christine Gilbert said: "Too many opportunities are missed and too many vulnerable children are still being let down by the system designed to protect them.
"Action is needed to stop children falling through the gaps between agencies. This is not a new message - but one which must be heard and acted upon with real urgency."
Three senior staff at Haringey Council have been suspended after an inspectors' report into the sufferings of Baby P, including Sharon Shoesmith, the director of children's services.
Children's Secretary Ed Balls said an independent report has painted a "devastating and damning" picture of failings by the north London local authority over the horrific death of the 17-month-old boy in August last year.
Earlier, the council's head, George Meehan, and its Cabinet member for children and young people, Liz Santry, both quit their jobs in light of "devastating" findings by inspectors into the council.
The removal of Ms Shoesmith and both resignations come three weeks after a trial found 17-month-old Baby P died at the hands of his mother, 27, her lover, 32, and their 36-year-old lodger, Jason Owen.
The tot died in his blood-spattered cot after suffering more than 50 injuries. He had a broken back, eight fractured ribs and had swallowed one of his teeth after being hit in the face.
This was despite being on the child protection register and having been seen more than 60 times by heath and social workers during his short life.
Mr Balls said people who deal with children's safety must be "accountable". He said he had ordered a new serious case review into Baby P's death, with an executive summary to be published by the end of March.

Damning verdict over Baby P case (BBC News)

Watch The News (Updtae) Broadcast At The End Of The Article:


Six people have been suspended on full pay from Haringey Council after a damning inspectors' report into the case of Baby P.
Sharon Shoesmith, head of children's services at Haringey Council in London, was removed from her post.
Council leader George Meehan and the cabinet member for children and young people, Liz Santry have also resigned.
The 17-month-old boy died despite being on the child protection register and being seen by professionals 60 times.
The boy's mother has pleaded guilty and her boyfriend and a lodger have been convicted of charges relating to the baby's death.
Councillor Lorna Reith, deputy leader of Haringey Council, confirmed a director, a deputy director, a senior team manager and three social workers had been suspended on full pay.
Children's Secretary Ed Balls said the findings of the independent inquiry into the failings of the local authority over Baby P were "devastating".
He announced new leadership in Haringey children's services and said a new serious case review would be carried out into Baby P's death.
The inspectors' report delivered a "damning verdict on the current management of safeguarding in Haringey", he said.
One of the factors that was most troubling, Mr Balls added, was the "failure to talk directly to children at risk".
The key failings highlighted include:
· Agencies acting in isolation from one another without effective co-ordination
· Poor gathering, recording and sharing of information
· Insufficient supervision by senior management
Action to be taken includes:
· A new serious case review to be undertaken into the death of Baby P, with an executive summary to be published by the end of March
· Education watchdog Ofsted to carry out unannounced annual inspections of children's services across the country
· More action to be taken at those authorities in England which have had "inadequate" serious case reviews, to see if they have made improvements.
Mr Balls announced new leadership would be introduced in Haringey's social services, with Hampshire County Council's John Coughlan immediately replacing Ms Shoesmith.
He added if he was not satisfied that there was significant progress in improving the department he would not hesitate to step in again.
Mr Meehan and Ms Santry expressed deep sadness at the death of Baby P acknowledging their responsibility in the case.
Mr Meehan said: "The reasons for my resignation are matters of personal honour and local responsibility.
"I am acutely aware of my accountability to people in Haringey.
Ms Santry said: "I am the accountable lead member and I accept that accountability and take my full share of responsibility.
"We have a hard task ahead to rebuild confidence in Haringey's child protection services."
Ms Reith said the change in leadership was necessary and it showed how seriously the council was taking the report's recommendations.
'Very worrying'
The Metropolitan Police welcomed the report.
In a statement, they said although their management was good: "We are not complacent and will fully support the new serious case review.
"Police in Haringey and across the Met want children to be safe."
The chief inspector of Ofsted - one of the agencies involved in the report - said the findings were "very worrying".
Christine Gilbert told the BBC: "You had very committed hard-working people working in different services, social care, health police and so on but working in parallel not really talking well enough to one another."
The report looked into the roles of health service, social workers and the police in the case.
Mr Balls ordered the investigation two weeks ago, after saying it was clear mistakes had been made and that those responsible would be held accountable.
The inspectors have been examining why the toddler was not taken into care despite numerous injuries including broken ribs and eventually a broken back.If Your an Adult or Child and Have Problems with Social Services, Please Visit http://www.stopinjusticenow.com/help/

Report delivered on Baby P death (ITV News)

Watch The News Broadcast At The End Of The Article:

Inspectors have handed ministers their report into the council criticised over Baby P's death.
Social workers at Haringey Council in north London are under pressure after the little boy was killed while on the child protection register.
Children's Secretary Ed Balls ordered an urgent review of the local authority's child welfare services at the end of the trial of those responsible last month.
Mr Balls and Children's Minister Beverley Hughes will make a statement responding to the report at 2pm, the Department for Children, Schools and Families said.
Mr Balls asked the inspectors to provide him with a first report on their findings by the beginning of December.
He has pledged to publish the document, although he will consider its contents before deciding whether to do so now or at a later date.
Mr Balls may ask the inspectors - from Ofsted, the Commission for Healthcare Audit and Inspection and the Chief Inspector of Constabulary - to investigate particular issues at Haringey in more detail.
Sharon Shoesmith, the council head of children's services, has faced public anger over her department's handling of the Baby P case.
While refusing to criticise any individual professionals involved in the tragedy, Mr Balls has emphasised the need for "accountability" where there are failures.
He said an independent serious case review had raised "serious concerns" about the wider management of child protection services in Haringey.
Baby P was 17 months old when he died in a blood-splattered cot in August last year.
He had suffered more than 50 injuries at the hands of his mother, 27, her boyfriend, 32, and their lodger, Jason Owen, 36, despite 60 contacts with the authorities over eight months.

Baby P doctor suspended by GMC (BBC News)

Watch The News Broadcast At The End Of The Article:

A doctor who failed to spot Baby P's broken ribs and back during an examination has been suspended by the General Medical Council (GMC).
Dr Sabah Al-Zayyat missed the injuries days before the 17-month-old boy died in a blood-splattered cot following abuse from his mother, her boyfriend and their lodger Jason Owen.
The GMC said its Interim Orders Panel had decided to suspend Dr Al-Zayyat's registration.
"Investigations are ongoing and it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage," it said.
Baby P died in a blood-spattered cot in Haringey, north London, in August last year despite 60 visits from the authorities over eight months.
His mother, her boyfriend and Owen, 36, will be sentenced at the Old Bailey on December 15 for causing or allowing the child's death.
Earlier, Barnardo's chief executive Martin Narey warned that child poverty was linked to offending and had to be tackled.
The former Prison Service boss suggested Baby P could have become "feral, a parasite, a yob, helping to infest our streets" if he had lived.
Mr Narey used Baby P as an example of a disadvantaged child who may have gone on to offend and be locked up as a result of his background.
"It is very significant that last week, I, along with the whole country, was shocked by the tragic events surrounding Baby P," he said.
"It saddens me that the probability is that, had Baby P survived, given his own deprivation, he might have been unruly by the time he had reached the age of 13 or 14.
"At which point he'd have become feral, a parasite, a yob, helping to infest our streets. The response to his criminal behaviour would have been to lock him up - but we believe these children deserve better."

PM 'outrage at unspeakable abuse' Latest Update (BBC News)

The Latest Up Dates To This Article!


The prime minister has said any necessary changes will be made to the system in the wake of the abuse by a father who raped his two daughters.
Gordon Brown said people were "outraged" by the "unspeakable" abuse perpetrated against the women.
His comments follow demands by MPs in Sheffield to know how the father's actions went undetected by agencies.
The 56-year-old Sheffield man was jailed for life after fathering nine children by his daughters.
An independent review is investigating the contact health professionals, police and social services had with the victims.
During Prime Minister's Questions at the House of Commons, Gordon Brown said: "People will want to know how such abuse could go on for so long without the authorities and the wider public services discovering it and taking action.
"If there is a change to be made in the system and the system has failed, we will change the system."
Meanwhile, Sheffield MPs Nick Clegg and David Blunkett have called for the inquiry to uncover any failings in the system.
The father, who admitted 25 rapes, was sentenced to a minimum term of 19-and-a-half years by judge Alan Goldsack QC, who said the case was the worst he had seen in 40 years.
The attacks led to 19 pregnancies. Nine of the children were born, two of whom died on the day of their birth.
The other 10 pregnancies were miscarried or aborted.
'Big questions'
Nick Clegg, Lib Dem leader and Sheffield Hallam MP, said: "I can't imagine a better definition of being evil than torturing your own children in this abusive way."
Asked by BBC News "Where were the medical professionals? Where were the social workers?", Mr Clegg answered: "Yes, we don't know. Those are the big questions that need to be asked.
"The other questions are for people at school. The girls went to school. Did they not notice anything?
"The girls were in and out of hospital - did they not notice anything?
"They've got someone from outside to look at it independently and make sure that we know if there have been any major failings in the system that those are brought to light."
Labour's Sheffield Brightside MP and former Home Secretary David Blunkett said: "Those who at least made an effort to do something should not be the ones who are pinpointed - it is those who did not who should examine their conscience."
Sheffield Crown Court heard the abuse started when the women were pre-pubescent.
The father moved the family around, including Sheffield and Lincolnshire, to keep them isolated and to avoid detection.
The court heard that none of the doctors, nurses or social workers the victims saw looked into why they kept getting pregnant.
Social services criticised
The case ended two weeks after Haringey Council in London came under fire over the death of Baby P.
The 17-month-old boy died in August last year in a blood-stained cot after months of abuse, despite 60 visits from authorities over eight months.
Children's Secretary Ed Balls has ordered an inquiry into Haringey's child welfare services.
Baby P's mother, her boyfriend and her lodger are due to be sentenced on 15 December after being convicted of causing or allowing the child's death.
James Baird, representing the father in the Sheffield abuse case, criticised social services in both Sheffield and Lincolnshire, where the family had lived.
He said there had been many hospital appointments where staff had "accepted the complainants' case that the father of their children was not their father".
Jayne Ludlam, director of young people's services Sheffield City Council, confirmed a Serious Case Review had been launched, to be led by former civil servant Professor Pat Cantrill.
Peter Duxbury, director of children's services at Lincolnshire County Council and chairman of the Lincolnshire Safeguarding Children Board, said since the events child protection systems had been improved.

He said: "I can't imagine a better definition of being evil than torturing your own children in this abusive way. Some of the details are just heart-rending.
"Of course the question is how on earth did something like this happen without someone noticing?"
Asked by BBC News "Where were the medical professionals? Where were the social workers?", Mr Clegg answered: "Yes, we don't know. Those are the big questions that need to be asked.
"The other questions are for people at school. The girls went to school. Did they not notice anything?
"The girls were in and out of hospital - did they not notice anything?
"That's why I spoke last night to the leader of Sheffield City Council, to the Chief Constable of South Yorkshire Police and this all needs to be looked at completely independently.
"That's the crucial thing. They've got someone from outside to look at it independently and make sure that we know if there have been any major failings in the system that those are brought to light."
'Avoid detection'
Labour's Sheffield Brightside MP and former Home Secretary David Blunkett said the inquiry needed to focus on agencies that could have intervened but did not.
He said: "Those who at least made an effort to do something should not be the ones who are pinpointed - it is those who did not who should examine their conscience."
Sheffield Crown Court heard the abuse started when the women were pre-pubescent.
The father moved the family from village to village in rural locations, including Sheffield and Lincolnshire, to keep them isolated and to avoid detection.
The court heard that none of the doctors, nurses or social workers the victims saw looked into why they kept getting pregnant.
'Significant changes'
James Baird, representing the defendant, criticised social services in both Sheffield and Lincolnshire, where the family had lived.
He said: "What is clear from the case is that the complainants and the children have attended many, many hospital appointments, but none of the medical experts have sought to probe these circumstances, and accepted the complainants' case that the father of their children was not their father."
Jayne Ludlam, director of young people's services at Sheffield City Council, confirmed a Serious Case Review had been launched, to be led by former civil servant Professor Pat Cantrill.
Peter Duxby, director of children's services at Lincolnshire County Council and chairman of the Lincolnshire Safeguarding Children Board, said since the events, child protection systems had been improved.
"Significant improvements have been made to ensure the safety of children in Lincolnshire," he said.
"In line with Lord Laming's recommendations in 2003, there has been a wholesale reorganisation of children's services and the establishment of a Lincolnshire Safeguarding Children Board which provides effective management and ensures proper standards for the safety of children are maintained.
"We will be co-operating with Sheffield in the completion of an independent review."

Haringey Social Services, Guilty of assisting in the Murder of Baby 'P'

Sign The Baby 'P' Petition See http://www.stopinjusticenow.com/index2.htm

The fact that Baby P was allowed to die despite 60 visits from Haringey Social Services is a national disgrace.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.I call on the General Medical Council to ensure that they do.

Life for father who raped daughters (ITV News)

Watch The News Broadcast At The End Of The Article:

A father who got his two daughters pregnant 19 times in a 25-year campaign of sexual abuse has been jailed for life.
The 56-year-old man "took pleasure" in knowing the harm he was doing to his two daughters and threatened them with a "real hiding" if they refused to have sex with him, Sheffield Crown Court heard.
The Recorder of Sheffield, Judge Alan Goldsack, ordered the rapist to serve a minimum of 19 and a half years before being considered for parole.
The defendant made his elder daughter pregnant seven times, fathering two children by her. She bore two other babies but they died the day they were born.
He made his younger daughter pregnant 12 times and she has five surviving children. The man also had a son, who lived with them until his teenage years.
Prosecutor Nicholas Campbell QC said: "All the defendant's children spoke of his domination over their family life."
He added: "All the family were frightened of him. When they heard his car pulling up outside the house, the children and their mother ran to their respective rooms.
"His son described him as having a Jekyll and Hyde personality and that his dad had a one-second fuse and that he could flip and turn just with the click of his fingers."
Mr Campbell said the daughters were raped every three days at times, adding: "One sister would babysit the other children while the other was being raped.
"One of them did try to offer him £100 a month to stop and paid it from her child benefit. That went on for two to three months."
The daughters gave their father as much whisky as he wanted in the hope he would drink himself to death.
But it was not until last summer that the younger daughter managed to flee her father's grasp.
The defendant, from Sheffield, who cannot be named for legal reasons, admitted 25 rapes and four indecent assaults last month.
He has been compared with the Austrian rapist Josef Fritzl, who kept his daughter locked in a dungeon for 24 years as he fathered seven children with her.

Father gets life sentence for raping his own Daughters (BBC News)

Watch The News Broadcast At The End Of The Article:


A man who fathered nine children by raping his two daughters over many years has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 19-and-a half years.
The 56-year-old from Sheffield was sentenced to a life term for each of the 25 rapes he had admitted.
The attacks led to 19 pregnancies, Sheffield Crown Court heard.
Judge Alan Goldsack QC said the case was the worst he had come across in nearly 40 years of dealing with criminal cases.
Nine of the children were born, two of whom died on the day of their birth. The other 10 pregnancies were miscarried or aborted.
Ian Keates, for the Crown Prosecution Service in South Yorkshire, said: "The abuse to which the women have been subjected is beyond comprehension."
"In his treatment of his victims the defendant sank to the most profound depths of depravity."
Jayne Ludlam, director of children's and young people's services at Sheffield City Council, said the abuse was revealed to social workers in June.
Ms Ludlam said: "This is one of the most harrowing cases we have had to deal with and to say we are shocked to find this level of abuse being perpetrated by this person is an understatement.
"Due to the seriousness of this case an independent review has already been launched which will look into the circumstances surrounding the case and the contact the agencies had with the victims."
'Russian roulette'
Sheffield Crown Court was told that the father, who also pleaded guilty to four indecent assaults, "took pleasure" in knowing the harm he was doing to his daughters.
He refused to leave his prison cell to come to court to hear the sentencing.
The court heard that the sexual abuse started when the two sisters reached the age of eight but that they only realised the other was being abused when they became pregnant some years later.
The father moved the family from village to village in rural locations to keep them isolated.
The court heard that on a number of occasions doctors advised the women to stop having children by the same father.
On one occasion a doctor asked one of the women whether her father was also the father of her child. She flatly denied the accusation.
Nicholas Campbell QC said: "The defendant played Russian roulette as to whether there would be complications in the pregnancies and with the health of his daughters."
Their father, who cannot be named for legal reasons, threatened them with a "real hiding" if they refused to have sex with him.
Mr Campbell said: "All the defendant's children spoke of his domination over their family life. He was tall and strongly built."
"All the family were frightened of him. When they heard his car pulling up outside the house, the children and their mother ran to their respective rooms.
"His younger daughter told of the frightening habit her father had of putting her head next to the flames of their gas fire and that when she struggled to get away on certain occasions she burnt her eyes."
Childline plea
On one occasion, the women called Childline and asked for a guarantee that they could keep their children, but when one was not offered they ended the call.
Mr Campbell said: "When either one of his victims tried to end the sexual abuse, he threatened to kill them and their children, and when they threatened to tell police, he said they would not be believed.
"He said that if they went public then the children would be taken away from them.
"All the time, when the sisters were challenged about the paternity of their children, they would cover it up.
"They started taking the pill. He said they should not be taking it and, just as they felt unable to avoid his sexual abuse, they obeyed.
"They spoke of his pleasure at fathering their children whilst at the same time they had fears for the welfare of these children and how they would cope."

Man found guilty of Hannah Foster's murder (BBC News)

Watch The News Broadcast At The End Of The Article:

A man has been jailed for life for the "appalling" murder, rape and kidnap of 17-year-old Hannah Foster.
Maninder Pal Singh Kohli, 41, was convicted by a jury at Winchester Crown Court more than five years after Hannah was found strangled.
She had been walking a short distance home after a night out in Southampton when she went missing on 14 March 2003. Her body was found two days later.
Kohli had denied false imprisonment, kidnap, rape and murder.
He snatched the teenager from a street yards from her home in Southampton after she had spent an evening with friends.
The A-level student called 999 in the hope an operator would hear what was happening, but the call was terminated when she did not speak.
Kohli dumped her body next to a road in Allington Lane, West End, and went back home to his wife and two sons.
Four days later, he fled to India, where he led a life on the run for 16 months before being arrested.
In Indian custody he gave a television confession which he later retracted.
After more than four years of campaigning by Hannah's parents Hilary and Trevor Foster, Kohli was finally extradited back to Britain last year to stand trial.
In a victim impact statement read to the court by Hannah's aunt Gill Lewis, Hannah's mother Hilary said she would feel guilt for the rest of her life that she was not there to protect her daughter when she was murdered.
"Kohli ripped out my heart and stamped on it," she said.
"When Trevor and I saw Hannah in the mortuary, I couldn't believe what I was seeing, there must be some mistake.
"The cold, battered and bruised body certainly looked like her, but where was the sparkle in her eyes?"
Speaking earlier to the BBC, Mr and Mrs Foster said: "I remember talking to her and saying, 'We'll find who did this to you'. And that's what we've been focused on doing since."
Mr and Mrs Foster said it was only now after Kohli was convicted that they could properly start to grieve for their daughter.
"The focus has been on her killer, not on Hannah," Mrs Foster said.
Her husband added: "I don't think there is such a thing as closure.
"It doesn't go away, the grief and the pain, they're going to be there until the day we die."
Sentencing Kohli, judge Mr Justice Keith said his crime was aggravated by "Hannah's vulnerability as a young slip of a girl, the terrible and appalling ordeal which Hannah must have gone through before you killed her.
"The wanton way you disposed of her body and the unimaginable grief to which you have subjected her family".
The verdicts were a final victory for Hannah's parents, who had travelled to India four times to keep up the pressure on Indian authorities and get Kohli back to face justice.
DNA match
Their first trip in July 2004 managed to find Kohli after a national appeal for help across India, but the sandwich delivery driver fought his extradition for a further three years.
Kohli spent 16 months on the run, even marrying another woman before he was arrested.
It was not until much later in March that a BBC Crimewatch appeal led his work colleague at Hazelwood Foods, James Dennis, to spot similarities between Kohli and the person police were searching for.
He called police and the jigsaw rapidly fell into place.
DNA belonging to Kohli was found on Hannah with a billion to one match probability and Hannah's DNA and blood was found in Kohli's van when it was seized.
Kohli shook his head only slightly but showed no other emotion as the four unanimous verdicts were delivered on Tuesday.
Hearing the guilty verdict on the first count of murder, Hannah's sister Sarah and her mother sobbed and hugged each other while Hannah's father helped comfort them.
The jury took five-and-a-half hours to reach its decision.
The judge jailed Kohli for life with a minimum tariff of 24 years.
Kohli, dressed in a grey suit and blue shirt and flanked by three security guards, was taken from the court.

Baby P councillors told to resign (BBC London)

Watch The News Broadcast At The End Of The Article:


Fresh calls are to be made for the resignation of two Haringey councillors over the death of Baby P in London.
The 17-month-old boy died in a blood-stained cot in August 2007 after months of abuse, despite 60 visits from authorities over eight months.
Haringey Council's Liberal Democrat opposition is tabling a motion demanding the leader and another councillor step down.
It will be tabled during a full council meeting on Monday evening.
The toddler's mother, her boyfriend and their lodger, Jason Owen, 36, will be sentenced at the Old Bailey on 15 December for causing or allowing his death.
Previously apologised
The Liberal Democrats are calling for council leader George Meehan and councillor Liz Santry, cabinet member for Children and Young People, to resign.
The council has previously apologised for not doing more to protect Baby P.
Ms Santry said: "This is a really tragic occurrence and the circumstances of his death are really dreadful.
"Our duty is to protect our children. We did not do so in this instance and I would like to say how truly sorry we are."
Last week Mr Meehan was urged to stand down at a highly-charged council meeting.
He ignored calls for his resignation and issued a "heartfelt and unreserved" apology on behalf of the council and himself personally.
He expressed sorrow for "the suffering he endured" and the "failure of all the child protection agencies" to save Baby P's life.
Children's Secretary Ed Balls has ordered an urgent inquiry into Haringey's child welfare services.
Haringey Council was previously severely criticised after the murder of eight-year-old Victoria Climbie in 2000.

The Little Boy No One Wants To Name, His Name Is 'Peter', No One Should Forget His Name!
Last Tuesday (November 11 2008) a young mother and two men were found guilty of causing or allowing the death of a 17-month-old boy known only as Baby P.
He suffered horrific abuse, but Haringey Council in North London, which was criticised in the Victoria Climbie case, never took him into care.
This was despite the fact that he had been put on the "at-risk" register and had 60 contacts with health and social work professionals and police over eight months.
Following Baby P's death, three separate inspections have been ordered and a national review by Lord Laming.
In What Happened to Baby P?, Panorama reporter Alison Holt reveals the findings of a six-month investigation into the mistakes and missed opportunities that led to this little boy's death.

Officials 'split' over Baby P care (ITV NEWS)

Watch The News Broadcast At The End Of The Article:

Officials were split over how to care for tragic Baby P in the weeks before his death, it has emerged.
Police apparently disagreed with Haringey social services over how the 17-month-old boy was being looked after.
The toddler was admitted to hospital in June last year with non-accidental injuries and according to a documentary, police wanted the child put in care.
Senior social worker Sylvia Henry, a team manager at the Tottenham social services office, had reportedly wanted to place the child into care from as early as December 2006.
Ms Henry had even found a foster home for Baby P, where he was placed for a short period of time. However, a member of Haringey's social service team then sent him back to his mother, now 27, after a "frank exchange of views".
The police eventually signed a care plan that allowed Baby P to be returned home, only to suffer further abuse.
A later police briefing stated officers should be "more confident" in their role at case conferences and should not be overruled by another agency.
However, it was not just police who disagreed with social services that Baby P should be taken away from his mother, who has since pleaded guilty to causing or allowing his death.
Other confidential police documents, uncovered by the programme, showed social services had become "too parent focussed" on the mother and that her apparent co-operation had led to a "rule of optimism".
Haringey Council said its only consideration in any decision is for the welfare of the child and that any disagreements with police were the rigorous discussions between professionals that would be expected when dealing with child protection.
Various inquiries are under way into the death of Baby P.
His mother's 32-year-old boyfriend and another man, Jason Owen, 36, were convicted at the Old Bailey last week of causing or allowing his death. His mother had already pleaded guilty to the same charge, which carries a maximum 14-year jail term.
All three have been warned they will receive lengthy jail terms when they are sentenced next month.

Case worker wanted Baby P in care (BBC NEWS)

Watch The News Broadcast At The End Of The Article:


A senior social worker and police did not want Baby P returned home where he suffered severe abuse, the BBC's Panorama has learned.
It found social worker Sylvia Henry wanted him to go into foster care after he was taken to a north London hospital in 2006 with non-accidental injuries.
But her bosses decided Baby P should be looked after by a family friend.
Haringey Council has apologised for not doing more, but a statement disputes some of the claims made by Panorama.
Baby P died in August last year. His mother and two men are due to be sentenced next month for causing or allowing his death.
In response to the case, Children's Secretary Ed Balls has told the House of Commons he will set out legislation on Tuesday to strengthen local arrangements to promote the safety and well-being of children across Britain.
'Rough play'
The matter of Baby P's care arose after doctors at Whittington Hospital found he had non-accidental injuries in December 2006.
He was subsequently placed in the care of Angela Godfrey, a friend of his mother.
But Ms Henry, the senior social worker at the time, had wanted Baby P to be taken into care and had found him a foster placement.
She said she had been "very reluctant" to let Baby P be looked after by Ms Godfrey, but she was bound by the 1989 Children Act to explore placement options with family and friends.
In a witness statement given to the police and seen by the programme, Ms Henry said: "My impression of Angela was that she believed the local authority were over-reacting and that the explanation for Baby P's injuries were those of his mother's, that they were caused by rough play and by his head-banging."
She also revealed Ms Godfrey asked for "a large sum of money, possibly £320 per week" to look after the child, and continually pressed for his return home.
Baby P suffered no injuries while in Ms Godfrey's care.
Police began investigating Baby P's case after he was put on the child protection register.
But with no new evidence to support a prosecution, services manager Clive Preece instructed that the boy should go back home.
'Frank exchange'
However, Ms Henry said she had delayed this because police had expressed a similar opinion to her own, that the child should remain "out of the care of his mother".
In a statement, Haringey Social Services denies that Mr Preece overruled social workers.
"No concerns were raised regarding placement with Angela Godfrey at the time of the placement," it said.
The programme has also learned that police and social services had a serious disagreement over the care of Baby P after he was admitted to North Middlesex Hospital in June 2007 with more non-accidental injuries.
A confidential police report said a "frank exchange of views" had taken place.

Teachers backing Baby P director (BBC NEWS)

Watch The News Broadcast At The End Of The Article:


More than 60 Haringey head teachers have joined forces to write a letter in support of the director of Haringey's Children and Young People's Service.
Sharon Shoesmith has come under increasing pressure to resign this week from her position after the tragic death of 17-month-old Baby P.
The child died in August 2007 after suffering sustained abuse.
The letter said Ms Shoesmith had "worked relentlessly" to ensure the best services for "all young people".
Alex Atherton, headteacher of Park View Academy in Haringey, told the News Channel: "I don't want to sound like a representative of the council but there are no schools in special measures in Haringey."
He added: "Results have doubled in seven years and I feel proud to be associated with the education support that Haringey offers and I know a lot of my colleagues do."
Failings
Two men and Baby P's mother have been convicted of involvement in his death and are to be sentenced on 15 December.
Old Bailey Judge Stephen Kramer told the 27-year-old mother and her 32-year-old boyfriend, who cannot be named for legal reasons, and Jason Owen, 36, that they faced "substantial" terms in prison.
The boy, from Haringey, north London, suffered 50 injuries, and the case revealed a series of failings by social workers, health workers and police.
An internal inquiry by Haringey's Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB) blamed legal advice taken a week before the baby's death for the decision not to take him into care.
It found "numerous examples" of good practice in the case although there had been "weaknesses" in information flow.
Ms Shoesmith, chair of the board, said: "The very sad fact is that we can't stop people who are determined to kill children."
She insisted lessons had been learned since the death of eight-year-old Victoria Climbie, murdered by her great-aunt and a partner, in 2000.
The letter from the head teachers in support of Ms Shoesmith said they considered her to "be an outstanding public servant" and they were compelled to show their support for her.
Lessons learnt
They added: "Should the Child P case result in her loss from the borough, then our children and young people will lose one of their most effective, determined and committed champions."
The letter was written by the head teachers of 61 state-funded primary schools and seven secondary schools.
It read that Ms Shoesmith had "transformed a demoralised education service" and that since becoming the director of Haringey's Children and Young People's Service, she had "continued to work relentlessly and with a determination that the service she leads and develops ensures best practice in providing education, care, support and protection for all of our young people."
The letter went on to say that while there were lessons to be learnt from the Baby P tragedy there needed "to be an informed understanding about the extent of the challenge inner city boroughs face in responding to the needs of their residents".
Meanwhile Baby P's natural father, who also cannot be named, paid tribute to the police for their part in bringing the case to court as well as the social workers who had been involved since his son's death, who he described as acting with "professionalism and courtesy".

Father of Baby P speaks of loss (BBC NEWS)

Watch The News Broadcast At The End Of The Article:


Baby P's natural father has called him a "bouncing" and affectionate boy, while describing his devastation at losing a son he loved deeply.
Baby P died in August 2007 after having suffered sustained abuse.
His father, who cannot be named, condemned the boy's mother and the two men convicted over the death.
He said: "Those who systematically tortured P... kept it a secret, not just from me, but from all the people who visited the house."
"Even after he died, they lied to cover up their abuse."
The three people convicted of involvement in the death have been warned they face "substantial" terms in prison.
Old Bailey Judge Stephen Kramer told the child's mother, 27, her 32-year-old boyfriend, and Jason Owen, 36, that they should not be fooled into thinking otherwise because he had ordered pre-sentence reports.
They will be sentenced on 15 December.
Baby P's father issued a statement through his lawyer - Chris Yiannakas - which said: "P was a bouncing 17-month-old boy. I loved him deeply. I remember how he used to run up to me... or when he was in his pram he would bounce up and down until I took him out, giving me hugs and kisses."
The father said the "verdicts will help to bring closure for what has been a very traumatic time for me, P's family and indeed all those who knew and were close to him".
He also paid tribute to the police for the part they played in bringing the case to court.
He added: "I would also like to thank the social workers who have been involved since P's death. They have acted with professionalism and courtesy.
"Finally, I wish to thank my family and friends who have given me comfort and support during this traumatic time."
'Outraged and shocked'
Meanwhile, Gordon Brown vowed he would do "everything in my power" to prevent a repeat of the tragedy.
Speaking on a trip to New York, the prime minister added: "I am absolutely sure that, like me, every parent in the country is outraged and shocked by what has happened and angered about what happened to that infant."
His comments came as it emerged a whistleblower wrote to ministers and inspectors six months before Baby P's death to raise concerns about Haringey's child protection services.
Former social worker Nevres Kemal, through her lawyer, claimed the north London authority had failed to act on unrelated allegations of child sexual abuse.
Ms Kemal's lawyer, Lawrence Davies, said her complaint was "pushed from pillar to post" and suggested Baby P's death might have been avoided if it had been acted on.
The claims were investigated by the Commission for Social Care before its responsibility in the area was passed to Ofsted.
The Conservatives accused the government of "bureaucratic buck-passing" and called for a detailed account of how the whistleblower's letter was dealt with.
Tory leader David Cameron urged the government to publish the letter as he described it as a tragic case of a baby falling through the cracks of a bureaucratic system.
He said: "If letters are sent with both Haringey and children in the same sentence, then that should have been a real wake up call.
"It seems that what may have happened is that bureaucratic changes in how inspections are carried out didn't help.
"And it also seems that everyone is saying that procedures were followed rather than actually asking who was responsible and why didn't they act."
It has also emerged that a senior Haringey councillor claimed just days after Baby P's death that the authority had raised its game significantly since Victoria Climbie's murder.
Liz Santry, the council's cabinet member for children and young people, emailed fellow councillors on 13 August 2007 to criticise the media for linking the Baby P case with the earlier scandal.

Council's 'sorrow' over baby death (ITV NEWS)

Watch The News Broadcast At The End Of The Article:

A north London council has said the death of a 17-month-old boy from child abuse is a matter of the "deepest sorrow".
As calls grow for Sharon Shoesmith, the director of Haringey Council's children's services division, to quit, councillor Liz Santry said: "It is a matter of the deepest sorrow that Baby P died in Haringey."
Ms Santry, the council's cabinet member for children and young people, continued: "Our priority has to be and has always been to safeguard children in our borough and as an authority we were all devastated by the death of this child."
She added: "We are truly sorry that we did not do more to protect him."
Pressure is growing on Ms Shoesmith to step down over the death of the tot last August in his blood-spattered cot. He spent much of his short life being used as a "punchbag", and suffering more than 50 injuries.
The court heard that social workers, police and health professionals failed to save him despite 60 visits over eight months.
Social workers involved in the case are being investigated by professional regulators. Haringey Council was severely criticised following the death of eight-year-old Victoria Climbie in 2000.
The General Social Care Council (GSCC) is conducting "preliminary inquiries" into the actions of social workers involved in the case. All social workers must register with the body and can be held to account if they breach its professional code of practice.
Rosie Varley, the regulator's chairman, said: "We are deeply saddened by this case and we are conducting our own preliminary inquiries to establish whether the circumstances have any bearing on the suitability of individual social workers to remain on the register.
"All registered social workers are required to meet the highest standards of care and abide by our code of practice, to which they are held accountable," she said, adding the case of Baby P underlined the need for "high quality support and training" for social workers to help reduce the risk of similar tragedies.
The toddler's mother, 27, her 32-year-old boyfriend and another man, Jason Owen, 36, face up to 14 years in prison after being convicted of causing or allowing his death.
They were cleared of his murder. Sentencing will be held on December 15.
The GSCC probe is separate to an urgent inquiry ordered by Children's Secretary Ed Balls which will be carried out by Ofsted, the Commission for Healthcare Audit and Inspection and the Chief Inspector of Constabulary.
Mr Balls said the review - due to make an initial report by December 1 - would involve a "thorough inspection" of all services responsible for safeguarding children in Haringey.
"The case of Baby P is tragic and appalling," he said. "It is our duty to take whatever action is needed to ensure that such a tragedy doesn't happen again, that lessons are learned and that children in Haringey are safe."

Probes into boys' deaths (ITV NEWS)

Watch The News Broadcast At The End Of The Article:

Investigations are under way after two young boys known to social services were stabbed to death.
Jael Mullings, 21, was arrested on suspicion of killing her sons, Romario Mullings-Sewell, two, and his three-month-old brother Delayno, on Thursday afternoon.
It emerged the family was known to social services but they no longer had a social worker to help them.
Police involvement is also being examined after it was revealed officers called at the house just hours before the brothers were killed.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission said it was launching an investigation hours after Manchester City Council announced that it was also reviewing social services' involvement in the tragedy.
Both boys, described as "gorgeous" and "beautiful", were stabbed in the stomach and found dead at the family home in Cheetham Hill in the city. Their mother has been sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
Greater Manchester Police were first alerted by a call from a local doctor's surgery with reports of concern for the welfare of Ms Mullings. Officers were dispatched to the house, arriving about 2.50pm, but there was no one at home and they could not get in.
A neighbour told them the mother had been seen pushing a double buggy with the children at shops nearby. Officers searched the area and visited the children's grandmother to try to find Ms Mullings, who was described as in a "distressed state".
It is understood Ms Mullings then went to her mother's house. Shortly after, paramedics received a call to go to Kilmington Drive where they found the children just before 6pm. Police were then called.
In a statement, the boys' devastated family paid tribute to the "beautiful, innocent children". The family said: "We hope that wherever the boys have gone to, they are at peace."

Baby and toddler killed at house (BBC NEWS)

Watch The News Broadcast At The End Of The Article:


A three-month-old baby and his brother, aged two, have been found stabbed to death at a property in Manchester.
Delayno and Romario Mullings-Sewell were discovered in Cheetham Hill on Wednesday evening after concerns were raised with police.
Their 21-year-old mother was held on suspicion of murder and has now been sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
Police visited the house a few hours before finding the children, who were known to Manchester social services.
BBC correspondent Chris Buckler said police were called at about 1320 GMT by a GP who raised concerns for the family's welfare after being visited by the mother.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officers arrived at the house on Kilmington Drive at about 1450 GMT after being given five separate addresses, he added.
There was no answer, so officers searched the nearby area and made significant efforts to trace the residents, a police spokesman said.
Speaking on Thursday, Det Supt Shaun Donnellan said police returned to the property later at about 1745 GMT and forced their way in and found the bodies.
He said both boys had been stabbed once in the abdomen. Their mother was arrested a short time later around the corner from the house.
"I'd ask you all to remember that this is a tragedy. There are two children dead who would appear to be victims of a fatal attack," he said.
"There is a mother in custody who has been detained under the Mental Health Act."
The family paid tribute to the "beautiful, innocent" boys in a statement released through Greater Manchester Police.
They said: "We, as a family, are struggling to come to terms with the tragic events of yesterday afternoon and we cannot even begin to understand what happened.
"We hope that wherever the boys have gone to, they are at peace."
Their father, who lived at a different address, is being given counselling, as are the officers who found the bodies.
A childminder, who last looked after the boys on 15 October, spoke of them as "lovely" and of their mother as a "very good mother".
Maria Cunnigham told the BBC: "There were no warning signs. The children were beautiful. Very loving and cuddly. Very smart, very clean. There were no warning signs at all."
IPCC investigation
As more information about events leading up to the deaths emerged on Thursday afternoon, Manchester City Council confirmed the family were known to its Children's Services department.
But the boys were not - or had ever been - on the child protection register.
Pauline Newman, Director of Children's Services, said: "This is an appalling tragedy and we offer our sincere condolences to the family and family friends of these two young children.
"Children's Social Care were not currently involved with the family, however in recent months the family were in receipt of community support services including nursery and childminding provision, whilst mother was attending higher education classes.
"I am currently involved with my senior staff team in urgently considering the nature, extent, and appropriateness of Children's Services' involvement with the family."
Mrs Newman said because the family were known to them there would now be a multi-agency serious case review, chaired independently.
Post-mortem examinations were being carried out on Thursday.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is assessing the police response to the phone calls they received before the boys were killed.

Baby P council is 'truly sorry' (BBC NEWS)

Watch The News Broadcast At The End Of The Article:

Haringey Council has said it is "truly sorry" for not doing more to protect 17-month-old Baby P who died after suffering horrific abuse.
In the first apology from the council, Liz Santry, cabinet member for children, said there had been "anguish" about what more might have been done.
It came as the north London council promised its own review - the fourth separate inquiry into Baby P's death.
The government says staff will be held accountable if failings are found.
Councillor Santry said: "For the past 15 months in Haringey, there has been a huge amount of anguish and endless discussion about what we might have done to save this little boy.
"And I have to say also that we are truly sorry that we did not do more to protect him.
Our duty is to protect our children, and we did not do so in this instance. And I would like to say how truly sorry we are," she added.
The statement is being seen as an about-turn for the council, which up until now has resisted making an apology.
On Tuesday, Sharon Shoesmith, head of Haringey children's services, said: "The very sad fact is that we can't stop people who are determined to kill children."
Baby P's mother and two men are awaiting sentencing for causing his death.
In the meantime, a total of four separate inquiries have now been ordered into how Baby P came to die despite being on the "at risk" register and receiving more than 60 visits from health and social work professionals.
They include:
· A government inquiry that will examine the role of all agencies in the case of Baby P including the health authority, police and Haringey Council. The review by Ofsted, the Healthcare Commission and the Chief Inspector of Constabulary is due to make an initial report by 1 December
· An "immediate independent review" announced by Haringey Council to examine its staff's actions and child protection across the north London borough
· A review by the body that regulates social workers, the General Social Care Council, to look into potential breaches of its code of practice
· A nationwide review by Lord Laming of his own recommendations after a similar case in Haringey, when eight-year-old Victoria Climbie was tortured to death in 2000
There have also been calls for an independent public inquiry from a cross-party of MPs.
Lib Dem MP Lynne Featherstone, a former Haringey councillor, tabled a Commons motion calling for an inquiry "to restore confidence in the child protection system in this borough".
So far, no one at Haringey Council has lost their job over the case, but children's minister Ed Balls earlier told the BBC: "If there are failures, then there's got to be accountability."
He added: "We should all be terribly sorry what happened to this poor little boy. We can't change that, we can't take away his suffering but I'm sorry.
"But being sorry is not enough."
He said the government had to make sure that lessons were learnt and say "it should never happen again".
Haringey Council has welcomed the government review which is already under way, saying it would be "open and co-operative" with inspectors and would implement the findings "swiftly and comprehensively".
While the inquiry takes place, Hampshire's director of children's services, John Coughlan, has been drafted in to take charge of Haringey's children's department.
Haringey said it had moved swiftly to check and strengthen its child protection procedures after the death of Baby P, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
Broken back
The young boy died in August last year after suffering 50 injuries including a broken back, fractured ribs and extensive bruising.
It has been reported that seven months later, his mother gave birth in prison to another baby, who was immediately taken into care.
After a nine-week trial at the Old Bailey, Jason Owen, 36, from Bromley, and a 32-year-old man were convicted of "causing or allowing the death of a child or vulnerable person".
The boy's mother had already pleaded guilty to the same charge, and all three will be sentenced on 15 December.
The mother and her 32-year-old boyfriend also cannot be named.

Baby death sparks Haringey review (BBC NEWS)

Watch The News Broadcast At The End Of The Article:


The government has ordered an immediate review of children's welfare services in a north London borough where a 17-month-old baby was killed.
The review will examine the role of all agencies involved in the case of Baby P who had suffered horrific abuse.
Children's Secretary Ed Balls said the review would "ensure that children in Haringey are safe".
The boy's mother admitted causing his death while two men were convicted of the same offence.
Baby P had been on the register of at-risk children in Haringey before his death and had been visited 60 times in eight months by social workers, police and health professionals.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Tory leader David Cameron clashed in the Commons during a series of angry exchanges over the case.
Mr Cameron had urged the government to intervene in Haringey saying it was "completely unacceptable" that a review into the baby's death had been overseen by the authority's own children's services director.
"She cannot possibly investigate the failure of her own department," he said.
The prime minister later told Mr Cameron: "I do regret making a party political issue of this."
When Mr Cameron demanded he withdraw the comment, Mr Brown did not with Labour MPs attempting to shout over the Tory leader.
Speaker Michael Martin intervened several times warning MPs against "shouting across this chamber".
Later children's secretary Mr Balls said that the case of Baby P was "tragic and appalling" and that there was evidence of "poor quality practice, management and supervision of staff in all agencies".
He said Ofsted, the Healthcare Commission and the Chief Inspector of Constabulary would carry out an "urgent" review of services involved in child welfare in Haringey.
The Conservatives said the review was a vindication of its view that Haringey Council "should not be the judge and jury in any inquiry".
Lynne Featherstone for the Liberal Democrats welcomed the news of an inquiry into the council's services for children but urged an independent public inquiry.
Baby P died in the same borough where eight-year-old Victoria Climbie was tortured to death in 2000.
She was starved and beaten to death by her aunt and her aunt's boyfriend - her death triggered a public inquiry which in turn led to a raft of recommendations for children's services across the country.
Mr Balls has demanded a first draft of the report should be submitted to ministers by 1 December.
Those convicted over baby P's death will be sentenced on 15 December.

Balls orders baby death inquiry (ITV NEWS)

Watch The News Broadcast At The End Of The Article:

The Children's Secretary has launched a probe after a tot was killed while being monitored by social workers.
Ed Balls said there will be an inquiry into safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children in Haringey, where the 17-month-old boy was battered to death despite the involvement of social services, police and doctors.
He said the review will involve an "urgent and thorough inspection of the quality of practice and management of all services which contribute to the effective safeguarding of children" in the north London borough.
Inspectors are due to produce an initial report by December 1, while the director of children's services in Hampshire, John Coughlan, has been drafted in immediately to work alongside his counterpart in Haringey.
The boy's mother and two men face up to 14 years in prison for repeatedly assaulting him in the same borough where Victoria Climbie died from abuse in 2000.
In angry exchanges in the House of Commons, The Prime Minister said he regretted David Cameron making a "party political" issue of the tragic case - a comment the Tory leader branded "cheap" and demanded he retract.
An Old Bailey jury heard how Baby P, who had been used as a "punchbag", died in August last year from a broken back and other injuries sustained after months of vicious beatings in his home.
The child's 27-year-old mother pleaded guilty to causing or allowing his death, while her 32-year-old boyfriend and lodger Jason Owen, 36, of Bromley, southeast London, were found guilty of the same charge by a jury.
All three were cleared of murder after it could not be proved who caused the fatal injury. The defendants, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, will be sentenced on December 15.
The court heard how baby was seen 60 times by health or social workers during an eight-month period.
When he died had more than 50 injuries or bruises - 15 of them to the mouth - and at one stage had been smeared with chocolate to hide the marks.
Paediatrician Dr Sabah Al-Zayyat failed to spot his broken spine or ribs when she examined him 48 hours before he was found dead in his blood-spattered cot.
The little boy lived a stone's throw from eight-year-old Victoria Climbie, who was murdered by her great aunt her boyfriend after care workers and police in Haringey failed to save her. Baby P's case has been described as "worse than Climbie".
Two social workers and a lawyer have been given formal written warnings over the toddler's case, the Haringey Local Safeguarding Children Board has said.

Council slammed over tot's death (ITV NEWS)

Watch The News Broadcast At The End Of The Article:

Social services have been slammed after two men were convicted of causing or allowing the death of a baby on the "at-risk" register.
An Old Bailey jury heard the 17-month-old boy, who had been used as a "punchbag", died in August last year from a broken back - which a doctor had failed to spot - and other injuries sustained over a period of months at his home in north London.
The men - a 32-year-old handyman and Jason Owen, 36, of Bromley, southeast London, who had lived with the family for five weeks - were however found not guilty of murdering the toddler who was on Haringey Council's child protection register.
The child's 27-year-old mother had previously pleaded guilty to the charge of causing or allowing the child's death.
The series of failings by Haringey Council was described as "worse than Climbie" - referring to the case of eight-year-old Victoria Climbie who was murdered by her great aunt and the woman's lover in 2000, after care workers and police in the borough had failed to save her.
In an bitter twist, the homes of both the little boy and Victoria were a stone's throw from each other. Two social workers and a lawyer have been given formal written warnings over the toddler's case, the Haringey Local Safeguarding Children Board has said.
Meanwhile, Children's Minister Beverley Hughes has announced a nationwide independent review of child protection services in light of the case.
The toddler was seen 60 times by health or social workers during an eight-month period. By the end, he was unrecognisable, his curly, golden locks shaved off, his cheeks hollow and his eyes dead to the world.
He had more than 50 injuries or bruises - 15 of them to the mouth - and at one stage had been smeared with chocolate to hide the marks. In the 48 hours before he was found dead in his blood-spattered cot, a doctor failed to spot his broken spine.
A detective in the case described the boyfriend as "sadistic - fascinated with pain". He had Nazi memorabilia in the house. The court heard the mother was "a slob, completely divorced from reality. She was living in a dream world and put her lover before her child. She closed her eyes to what was going on".
Gillie Christou, in charge of social workers looking after children on the register in Haringey, told the court she had agreed to keep the baby with his mother.
She said: "I made the decision at the time based on the material in front of me and based on the background to the case."
The family cannot be identified for legal reasons. All three will be sentenced on December 15.
