Young Victims failed by Social Services

How many more Children's Lives must be lost..?

Damned if you do' and 'damned if you don't' doesn't apply on this page!
Year after year so many venerable children in the UK loose their lives through the 'CATASTROPHIC' failures in Social Services Departments, the Police, Health Trusts, the Family Justice system and other Childrens Organisations. 'SYSTEMATIC' failures by the very people meant, and paid by the public to protect them. These people carry on for years without thorough investigation, without rectification, without redress. There may be client complaints, professional warnings, official inquiries, high level recommendations, police investigations - but still it goes on. Why do live in a country where presently a minority stand more unaccountable than ministers in our own government. Remaining anonymous and well rewarded the failing minority seem to escape any punishment or prosecution time after time for negligence in their duties to protect our most venerable children where tragically lots of them like the ones listed below pay the ultimate price for this minority's systemic failures. Grotesquely and in secret hearings Serious Case Reviews (SCRs) the minority of anonymous officials found in part-responsible for child deaths are allowed to continue in their jobs with utter impunity and without prosecution. Essential read: The shocking statitics of child deaths in the UK This is just the tip of the iceberg on children that have died as a result of Social Services failures and it is imperative the public stay outraged and demand changes and every time they see social services failures the public must speak up because you never know when it will happen to a child you know.

Ask yourself, how often have you heard the following excuse? - A spokesman for the Councils social service department said: "we have learned lessons from this tragic case and have already taken steps to improve procedures in the interest of our vulnerable children and to make sure it does not happen again". - And yes of course it does happen, in fact 'again and again' and lessons are clearly not being learned. So many lives that could have been easily saved if those well paid 'professionals' had done their jobs properly. Social Services inspectors Ofsted stated they carried out 'internal' reviews of 50 serious cases involving death or injury to children between April 2007 and March 2009. In period between April 2007 and March 2009 282 children lost their lives and in '212 of those cases the families were known to the Social Services. Also failed by the system: 25 abused children die under the noses of social workers Daily Mail Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. M L K Jr. The sheer scale of the injustice goes further 'than anyone can imagine' as you are about to witness! Shame also on those authorities for not naming some of the children below.
