Default Damning report into child cruelty

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/damning-rep...080806868.html

Three adopted children "rescued" from their drug addicted parents went on to suffer a decade of systematic abuse and neglect at the hands of two doctors which was "predictable" and "preventable", a serious case review has found.

Some professionals in the case were also swayed by "perceptions and assumptions" about the couple's social class, professional status and high academic qualifications, the review concluded.

Research scientist Dr Jill Newcombe-Buley, 45, punched, slapped and smothered the children in a reign of terror which started soon after they were placed with her and her husband, Dr Nicholas Newcombe, 43, at their former home in Prestbury, Cheshire. She also stamped on one child with a stiletto heel and hit one over the head with a dustbin lid.

Newcombe-Buley was jailed for four years in October after she admitted child cruelty while her husband, who pleaded guilty to neglect after he did not report his wife, was given a 12-month suspended sentence.


the sentencing of this pair of animals is laughable, i hope someone teaches them a proper lesson in pain and suffering!

Unbelievable!

Someone in that role should be a role model.

If she "smothered" the children, does that mean that she killed them?

It could mean having a pillow placed over their face and threatening to keep it there if they didn't start behaving.

Totally shocking again. What is going on with this world?
I now hear that Al Qaeda are planning to make a cartoon that will attempt to entice children into becoming terrorists!
