A 17-month-old boy, known only as Baby P, died in a blood-spattered cot in August 2007, with multiple injuries including fractured ribs and a broken back, despite being on the child protection register and being seen by social workers 60 times!His mother, her boyfriend and their lodger, Jason Owen, 36, will be sentenced at the Old Bailey on December 15 for causing or allowing the child's death.
Inspectors investigated why the toddler was not taken into care despite numerous injuries including broken ribs and eventually a broken back.
The tot’s ribs were smashed and he was paralysed from a broken spine. He died in his blood-spattered cot after being punched so hard a milk tooth was smashed down his throat. The tops of his fingers had been cut off and his nails pulled out.
The local authority involved -- Haringey Council in north London -- is the same one that failed to stop the death of eight-year-old Ivorian Victoria Climbie, a child abuse case that similarly shocked Britain in 2000.
