The French centre right @lesRepublicains - the political family of de Gaulle, Chirac & Sarkozy - have selected their first ever official female presidential candidate: @vpecresse. If she can make the runoff, she will be a formidable opponent for @EmmanuelMacron

I am not ashamed to say that when reading about baby P I found myself shedding tears onto the newspaper.

Arthur Labinjo being a conscious aware 6 year old, I saw the still of the video, but I wasn’t able to press play. I couldn’t, didn’t, want to see it.

It seems there were multiple windows to intervene directly - be it social services, neighbours, relatives, school and at every point they just utterly, utterly, failed.

Social care has been neglected, both for the elderly and for the young.

It’s not a Tory policy to put more funding into social care. Where are the Surestart centres gone for a start?

£5 to drop off a passenger at T5 now btw

Wtf

Think its free to drop off in short stay tho

My dad took the expensive route

Tory what does that have to do with me.

I know this as I’m a foster carer, social services are understaffed and underfunded and worked to the point of stress or leaving the profession.

The Guardian:

Yet social workers, notified by Arthur’s grandmother of bruising to his shoulders, found “no safeguarding concerns” after visiting the boy two months before he was murdered. One believed Arthur was “very happy”.

I don’t think you have a clue, do you actually think the reporting of a bruise means social services can step in

No, what I am saying is they probably should investigate a little bit more thoroughly than they actually did. I appreciate you're a little slow on the uptake so I will use CAPS LOCK next time

You do understand that kids get bruises everyday and typically they aren’t a result of abuse.
Do you realise how easy it would be for an abuser to cover their tracks over a report of a bruise claim.
Like I said you don’t have clue.

Eh? No it’s not. The drop off charge came into place 1st November. Heathrow is executing any means to get back as much money as they can from the loss due to the pandemic

I think it’s probably a case of both. My sister did social care for a short while. It’s easy to cover up abuse and it’s easy to miss something.

It’s like doctors, it’s inevitable that a mistake will be made and sadly when mistakes are made in this sector, the results are tragic.

Plus, hindsight is always 20/20
