The one in Southampton, Blake Fowler, who was killed by his mother's violent partner after a lifetime of abuse. |

They didn't just notice. They reported what they saw. |

I do hope his step- father, Peter Meek, meets with plenty of meaningful violence! |

It was reported and reported, even to the NSPCC, nobody did anything. Workman in the road outside heard the boor little chap's screams and reported it, nothing done. The little boy told somebody, 'my Dad makes the bruises' nothing was done. Poor little lad, I found that so upsetting, and he had the most lovely smile. What a thug!!! I hope he gets his retribution from somewhere. :-( :-( |

But how frustrating for those who did care enough to report the abuse to see no action being taken. |

And nobody has been prosecuted for his subsequent death. I think it was cited as 'lack of evidence', so the bully and his brother and the mother of the little boy all got away with it. |

...so when he told his teacher that 'daddy made my bruises', that wasn't evidence? |

Heartbreaking to know how many chances were lost to save that dear little boy from such evil people ill treating him. I just hope the scumbags involved get waylaid, kidnapped and tortured then left to die alone. An eye for an eye...... |

Probably the same case, Sharron, as my sister lives in your neck of the woods. |

Sadly, abused children are often trained to not tell what goes on at home. |

I'm afraid I had a 'second sense' - but was ignored, as it caused too much hassle. Some I 'sensed' when they were in primary school, some in secondary. |

It shouldn't really need resources though should it? |

I had to take my daughter to the doctor for a vaccination or something when she was about 2½ years old ............ she'd been walking since she was 9 months so was a little terror by that time. |
