A baby boy had his back broken at the climax of eight months of violence leading to his death, the Old Bailey heard yesterday.
The 17-month-old had been placed on Haringey council’s child protection register eight months before he died, the jury was told.
The mother and her partner were on police bail after being arrested on suspicion of assaulting the child before his death.
Doctors and social workers had seen the toddler in the run-up to his death, the court heard.
They feared that the mother could neglect and physically abuse the baby.
Yet 'Baby P' was still returned to his mother and died in circumstances which would be 'likely to fill any reasonable person with revulsion', the court heard.

A MUM convicted of murdering her baby daughter by microwaving her, has been spared the death penalty after a jury could not reach a unanimous decision.
Ohio mum China Arnold was accused of killing month-old tot Paris Talley in 2005.
A judge declared a mistrial in February, and the retrial began on August 18.
The jury found the 28-year-old guilty last week of aggravated murder.
The defence had argued that Arnold was drunk when the incident took place and argued she had no motive to kill her child.
However, prosecutors called the crime “heinous” and argued for the death penalty.
After about five hours of deliberations, the jury was unable to decide whether to recommend the death penalty or life in prison.

Microwave baby mum jailed

A WOMAN has been sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for burning her baby daughter to death in a microwave after a row with her boyfriend.
Common Pleas Judge Mary Wiseman lashed out at 28-year-old China Arnold, who chose to watch her sentencing from a side room on a TV screen.
Judge Wiseman said: "No adjectives exist to adequately describe this heinous atrocity.
"This act is shocking and utterly abhorrent for a civilised society."
The Judge rejected a plea by Arnold's attorneys for a minimum sentence of life in prison with the chance of parole after 25 years.
A jury last week spared Arnold the death penalty when it could not reach a consensus.
