Poor little lad

Daniel Pelka: Serious case review finds 'missed opportunities'
No doubt we are hours away form hearing the usual "lessons will be learned" bollocks from some MP/person in authority who deep down couldn't give a crap one way or the other!

What a terrible story this is. I have to admit unashamedly that it brought tears to my eyes when I heard what had happened to that poor lad.
The two murderous tykes who were responsible deserve the most unpleasant sentence possible. Capital punishment would not be too much in my opinion. He had to endure wholesale torture for his whole life before they killed him.
The other question of course is what on earth were those responsible for child welfare thinking? How could they see the effects of his mistreatment and malnourishment and turn a blind eye. They can't have failed to realise that everything was wrong in the way he was treated at home. How could they see a child wasting away to 1.5 stone at his age and raiding dustbins for food as well as his dreadful appearance and not know that he was being mistreated? They should all be sacked from their jobs and even punished for their total lack of concern for the lad's welfare.
I wonder if they even feel ashamed! Or are they too busy thinking up excuses?

Would love to take a claw hammer to both of them starting from the knees up, but not half as much as I'd love to go back in time and save the poor lad from them two absolute wastes of skin.

I will hazard a guess that the paperwork for these cases consists of long reports with lots of boxes to tick and this overwhelms busy, overworked but well meaning caseworkers. This overload is compounded by long reviews about drunken mothers or violent fathers when it is often blindingly obvious what is happening.
Now I reckon I could devise a straightforward single A4 size report form that is quick to use by a visiting social worker for example. As soon as a form is updated it is sent to say 3 or 4 of the relevant agencies e.g. police, school, GP and the caseworker marks action needed and a date.
Someone is made responsible for ensuring that action is taken by the due date by the appropriate agency and the form updated accordingly.

I sometimes think that in cases like this it just requires a GP or Teacher with a bit of 'nouse' and the abuse would be picked up?
You can put in place all the 'systems' you want but ultimately we are dealing with people whose acts and explanations need interpreting. That needs someone with some sense and who feels empowered to do so.
I noticed also the GP 'responsible' was Indian. Without trying to sound racist I think that it gets harder to 'read' people across cultural/ethnic boundaries...at least for most people. That may have played a role. The reality of 'multi-cultural' Britain.
Anyway it's a poor inditement of our atomised and multi-cultural society, although it may be hard to say exactly who or what is to blame.

Sorry but all these excuses about forms and Indian doctors are all very well, but in my opinion the biggest culprits here are the teachers who basically watched a little boy starve to death and who when they realised he was so hungry he was stealing other kids' food decided to lock away the food so he coudln't steal it! I hope those people rot in hell!!!

As for the dr, no the paediatrician was Indian who did nothing, his own GP is also Indian and never saw the boy and said in an interview on TV yesterday if only he had seen the boy he insists he would have picked up on it as the signs were too obvious to miss.
