Poor child, absolutely sickening.
He probably won’t get out of prison alive.

Where were the social workers in all of this?

Re: How come this scumbaga life sentence is only 18 years
They are being investigated as this was not the first time that this poor tot was admitted to hospital, I expect the social workers will not even get a reprimand!

It says that if one of the doctors had spotted the second fracture then there would have been an investigation and likely averted the tragedy.
However, I'd prefer to give 100% of the blame to the guy that actually did it rather than people here and there along the way.

Yeah of course the system is vigorous. However looking at the evidence is that the adoptive parent, became aggressive when he struggled to cope with the child's behavioral and sleep issues. You sometime find that foster and adoptive children will come to you with problem from the child's previous situation, and then also having to settle into a new environment.
No amount of vetting will find out how you will cope with this pressure. If your back ground is squeaky clean going through the whole process, no social worker would be able to see the future.
Social workers case loads are massive, and it tends to be the case that the workers will watch you initially and if there are no problems will leave you to it until they become notified of an issue. They then focus on their case load where reported problems occur.
The X-ray seemed to be a missed opportunity, but there will always be cases like this.

I know a gay couple who have adopted and homophobia amongst the social workers is not an issue.

They never ever admit responsibility, nothing ever changes, they never learn by mistakes made.

Homophobic or not, same sex couples should never be allowed to adopt or foster.

Re: How come this scumbaga life sentence is only 18 years
As Lardy says save your vitriol for hat utter **** who committed the act.
Sadly our social worker, Cops, Probation Officers , medical staff are all under resourced and managing high workloads.

The warning signs were there. He lied to a health visitor that one injury was address by a GP. This wasn't checked, even though the HV was with the same GP. A doctor also missed a 2nd fracture, which would have invoked a different response.

As a few posters posted mate, it was not the first time the poor mite was admitted to hospital and with being so so young
I take it by your post qccfc you fostered or adopted children
(I gotta say that's very admirable mate and not many could do that :thumbup: )
maybe the training of the social workers is wrong ? I don't know
maybe the whole process is wrong ?

Re: How come this scumbaga life sentence is only 18 years
I am no expert here but it's probably because it was not premeditated or he didn't mean to kill her.
Judging by his texts to his husband, he did not try to hide the fact he was struggling to cope but he did try to hide the facts in court.
Can't recall what cases exactly but there have been many where there is premeditation and lesser sentences passed.
I don't feel anything more than vitriol for the bloke and 'scumbag' pretty much describes him but he will have to live with this for the rest of his days.
I also disagree with some posters in that the system must take some blame for the death of this poor child.

Spot on.
The blame lies solely with the guy who killed her.
Hopefully his every waking moment from now on will be a living hell - that will be the least he deserves.

He was charged with murder, that is premeditated, if it was not premeditated he would have been charged with manslaughter:thumbup:

Ah yes okay :thumbup:
Could be he lied so much to try and wriggle out of it, saying he couldnt cope he may have got away with manslaughter on mental reasons. The ambulance call was a giveaway.
Obviously has a screw loose.
Deserves all that's coming to him.

Nick Ferrari on LBC suggested to one caller that social workers need to do more homework by knocking on neighbours' doors and building up a profile of the people they are watching. He failed to mention how many extra social workers would be needed to afford the time for this, or the expense...

Premeditation is a requisite for a conviction for murder, therefore there must have been a degree of it, or recklessness or lack of care as to whether the child died or not. He was convicted of murder so at least one of those factors must be present, otherwise the charge would have been manslaughter.
If anyone reads th acrticle his sentence was life with a MINIMUM sentence of 18 years. That means he has to do at least 18 years with good conduct to even be considered for parole and I'd guess his chances of ever getting parole are pretty slim.
Still being homosexual I imagine he will find a few 'friends' inside.

Re: How come this scumbaga life sentence is only 18 years
Social services have an extremely difficult job. I know several people that work in the field and they are easily the most dedicated, conscientious people I know. They are damned if they do and damned if they don’t. On one hand they get blamed for not intervening quickly enough, on the other they are accused of being over zealous, of interfering and breaking families up. They certainly do not take incidences like this lightly and of course there are investigations with such cases, but short of monitoring people 24 hours a day, you can never ever guarantee that something like this won’t happen again.
As others have said, there’s only one person guilty of causing that child’s death, and he’s in the right place.

Sadly true. I won't go into details on here, but I came close to losing a family member recently because of the strains social services are under. Easy to blame them but the whole system is overstretched.

Re: How come this scumbaga life sentence is only 18 years
Anyone who has brought up a child knows that they can be very trying (the terrible twos comes to mind!). It requires a heck of a lot of love and patience, qualities that, in my opinion, are to be found more abundantly in women rather than men. Here was a situation where you have an adopted child effectively living with one adult male who is not the biological father (the male partner being away from home a lot it seems) and whose patience was probably stretched to the limit. Most kids including my own can be very trying as I’ve said but I don’t recall ever referring to them as “Satan in a baby-grow”. A truly tragic case.
