The Tragedy of Baby P

The life of Baby P was a short one as well as tragic. This beautiful baby boy was let down by the people who should of protected him the most.

His parents abused him and Haringey Social Services who should of stepped in, did not, allowing Baby P to die as a result of the numerous injuries he suffered at the hands of his mother and her boyfriend.

What is also equally surprising and frustrating is that only after this little boy suffered so much does it appear that he actually had other people who could have stepped in.

After his death his father has issued a statement saying how much he loved him, and now his grandmother has shown herself saying that she told social services that Baby P needed help.

Why is it that it is only now that this extended family feel that they could be of help. They should of stepped in when Baby P needed them.

It is a shame and a disgrace that so many people could have failed this little boy, and everyone responsible for the demise of Baby P should be held accountable.
