Horror, pure horror! It can't be true! So many visits from social workers and they didn't see anything?
Unbelievable!

where is the justice? whos to be blamed for this tradgic death? why are all parties involed opting out insisting they have done thier job well? I want to see BABY PETERS mother, boyfiend and the lodger face life in prision. I want BABY PETERS mother to have her womb taken out as goes the same for the boyfriend and lodger.
I want a change to happen. These are our children dying at the hands of powers that were established to protect them. Who will admit they did wrong by BABY PETER?
MAY GOD BLESS YOU BABY PERTER, YOU ARE IN A SAFE PLACE NOW, NO ONE WILL EVER HARM YOU!!!!XXXX.

It is absolutely heartbreaking to imagine the pain and suffering this beautiful child of God must have endured at the hands of these animals.
Imagine if the mother had instead, at birth, relinquished this beautiful boy to an adoptive family who would have loved and cared for him like the angel that he was. Who knows what great things he could have achieved in his life. I do not pity the three monsters who WILL NEVER AGAIN enjoy one single, peaceful day for the rest of their lives, for this incident will rest in their hearts and souls for ever.

One of the most chilling things to come from this list is the fact that 'the school nurse' reported the mother, and later the mother suggested Baby P was pushed into a fire place by 'another child' - Baby P clearly has a sibling: what has he or she also suffered?

This case is absolutely heartbreaking. I cannot get that poor little boy out of my head. What that poor child must have gone through is beyond belief. I am not sleeping properly after hearing and reading about the details of what happened to him and when I see his innocent little face it literally causes me to feel sick and fill up with tears. I keep getting hurrendous thoughts of the poor little thing knowing nothing but suffering, fear and pain in his very brief life. It's haunting me. How can another human being treat such a beautiful, harmless, innocent child in this way?Something really needs to be done to protect the vunerable children in our society. My heart aches for that little boy it really does. He's been so let down.

This is a tragedy, why was nothin done? All the times this child was seen by hospital, childminders and everyone else and they saying nothin seemed parculiar. Its a load of rubbish. This baby should of and could of been saved but instead got to stay living with the creatures that were meant to be taking care of him being his PARENTS. They should be tortured now till the day they die, hope the rot in hell. R.I.P Baby P xxx God bless you!
