Baby P, Health And Social

beam Connelly also cognize as Baby p was killed on the 3rd august 2007 at the historic period of 1, by his stepdad Steven Barker. Baby P had suffered multiple injuries all over the previous 8 calendar months resulting in his stopping point. In this clean of writing I bequeath be investing who I think is to blame for Baby Ps death. The mixer services are to blame for the death of baby P because they were aware of the authority baby P was in and placed him on the at risk register. He went to live with a family friend because the GP spotted that he had bruises on his face and chest and mentioned it to the social services, and the find was arrested.Tracey had suffered with post-natal mental picture and this is when the social services should accept dumbfoundn into account that she suffered from it and should hold back put it on her file and looked into it much. Haringey council had hang 2 social workers for the misconduct in the case of baby incision. Social services ha d visited the home over 60 times and didnt notice eachthing wrong, and didnt take anything into account. However after watching medical prognosis I learned that the m different had told the social services about the new man in her carriage only this was never mentioned to the law of nature. The small fryminder phoned up the social worker to say that she could nolonger care for spear and the other sibling because of pricks scalp transmittal and their head lice problems.The social worker phones Tracey and expressed their concern and that the infection was taking too long to clear up and that Tracey should take them to the GP as soon as possible. The police are to blame because they didnt investigate when the GP verbalize about his bruises. The metropolitan police did not do their job properly because they didnt investigate the injuries and the staff at the schools where baby Ps brothers and sisters attended were not told by the police about the baby Ps flock or injuries.Pol ice enquiries knew that at the time of peters death, the mums boyfriend, the lodger and is 15 year old young woman had been staying at her home since July 2007. The strategy meeting was attended by a social worker and a detective constable from the Metropolitan police. There was a clear concern about peters welfare and a decision was make that he could not return to the family home until the police investigation and enquires had been completed. The notes of the meeting showed that parents of peter had separated and that the pose had a friend who was never left alone with the peasantren.On the 13th December, both the social worker and police officer made a joint visit to the school to interview the two older boorren. Neither the school nor the health services had concern about their physical safety. During the visit to the infirmary the police officer interview Tracey under caution, she told the officer multiple times that she didnt know where the bruises were culmination from and came up with explanations for where the bruises were from and she denied that she or her mother was responsible.Also on the 19th December the police arrested Tracey and peters grandmother, during their interview neither gave any explanations of how the injuries occurred but gave some possible causes previously. The police agreed that peter could go home once his mother had made alternative arrangements for the dogs The GP had failed peter because they didnt take note of his outcry properly they made a few phone calls there and now but never fully reported it or tried to help peter.Jerome Ikwueke admitted having seen peter on numerous occasions, he disputes the claim he drop his headmaster duty to look after the child. However he did complain about the bruising also Tracey spoke to Dr. Ikwueke byword that peter had grab marks on him and once again the GP ignored the sample sign. On 26th of July, the SW phoned Tracey after she visited the GP, according to Tracey the GP was unable to prescribe more antibiotics, and he was not concerned and thought that Peter had an allergic reaction the head lice treatment.The GP recognised the affect for concern but did nothing about it because he thought that others would do something, and the child was being seen at the Child Development Centre in a few days. Haringey council failed baby P massively because they didnt check if the mother had a boyfriend. Maria Ward fully aware he was on the councils children at-risk list in them 6 months she was supposed to be looking after him there was a 4 month backlog of notes on his case. She was supposed to make announced and unannounced visits at least both two weeks but the general social care council found that she went 22 days without any relate at all.Maria Ward had no actual idea of where peter was for four days, she accepted his mothers excuse that they were in cricklewood caring for a sick uncle. If Miss. Ward hadnt missed these unannounced visits then she could ta ke up got a picture of what was happening and nothing crucial could have been missed. All Haringey had to say was sorry, which is not decorous and will always carry the guilt of allowing such a vulnerable child to be abominationd and neglected when they could of done something about it.Also the paediatrician could have saved his life if she would have noticed his broken back, it was her cash in ones chips appointment of the day and rather of checking him thoroughly she and gave him a pass and didnt bother examining him properly. If she would have taken her time, she could have saved peters life instead once again another(prenominal) service failed him. She utter that she couldnt examine him properly because he was miserable and cranky and acted interchangeable a young child with a cold. She also added that he was sitting unsupported and there was no reason to suspect anything.On the other hand, a total of 19 doctors and health workers examined baby P on a total of 33 occasion s in the eight months before his death. Three of the doctors raised concern to the police that his injuries had been non accidental but the Crown Prosecution Service, which had received a report from Haringey social services supporting the boys mother, decided there was not enough evidence to charge her. Her opinion was that the injuries were non-accidental in nature.This was very concerning for a nine month old baby peter waseventually registered on both physical abuse and neglect list. Tracey Connelly, peters mother was to blame because she knew what was happening and didnt do anything about it. In 2009 she was charged and imprisoned for 6 geezerhood for allowing her sons death. Tracey was born in 1981. When her parents split in 1984, their relationship was known to be violent, and both her and her brother witnessed domestic violence. Tracey classed her stepdad as her biological dad and when he died unexpectedly her brother had came to live with Tracey and his mum.He had been fig ht with challenging behaviour and was violent at school and towards his sister and also started offending, at the age of 10 she was placed on the child protection register under neglect. After having one of her children she suffered with post-natal depression and couldnt cope with small children, when she visited the GP in 2005 and they referred her to the PCMHW, there had been concerns that she would suffer with post-natal depression but was not diagnosed.In phratry 2006, Tracey took peter to the surgical operation with a cough and nappy rash. The GP complained that baby P bruised easily, and that she might be accused of hurting him at this time peter was only 6 months old. Peter had visited the surgery and hospital at least 3 times that year on one occasion he went to the surgery with a head clump and his mother stated that he fell down the stairs and got the s riseing from that, the GP told her that he was going to refer peter to hospital.At the Whittington Hospital a number o f bruises were seen on peters frame and was then documented on a body map. Peter was discharged from hospital on fifteenth December to the care of Traceys friend. On 5th march, the school nurse had called social works saying that they had observed Tracey and had witnessed her shouting at one of peters siblings and slapping their cheek, she was told she had to attend a parenting programme. However the social worker said that the mother and peter had a very strong relationship.In January 2007 Tracey attended their visit core meeting with peter alongside her and then the next interview happened on the 24th of Jan and agreed that if the injuries were non-accidental, it was not clear who the piranha was. The family friend should have said something to police or the social worker when she noticed the abuse instead she kept quite. When peter was staying with her she noticed that he had bruises on his testes and claimed that they were from the hospital staff when they were doing a scan.The bruise on his buttocks had vanished. The family friend and peters mother agreed to a contract to find a childminder to assist with the child care during the day, on June the 5th the family friend and peters mother met the team manager to sign a written concordance to the effect that Tracey and Peter would not be left alone together, there should also be a childminder for Peter and one of the other children on particular days.Jason Owen (the lodger) and his 15 year old young womanfriend knew abuse was going on, they were arrested but only the Jason was charged, Jason who is a crack-cocaine addict, and a convicted arsonist who was accused of a raping a girl of 11, should have never been allowed to stay with the family but the social workers didnt do any emphasise checks on him. Jason was a very sick, twisted and psychotic person, he tortured his grandmother when he was growing up and did it again when she was 82, so she would change her will. The grandma of Peter could have stoppe d the abuse from happening she did take Peter into care for a few weeks.When peter was crying and scared he ran up to her and she just ignored him and walked away. She was scared of Steven and she saw some of the abuse attacks but did nothing about it. She should have known what it was like as she was abused by her dad when she was younger and was raped by a singular instead she ignored it and let Peter suffer. Steven Barker was definitely to blame because he was the one who carried the abuse out he beat Peter constantly and made him petrified. Steven who was devoted to his Rottweiler Kaiser, treated Peter like an animal, teaching him to obey commands on how to sit, lie down, and if not, face the consequences.He took pleasure in regularly using the child as a punch bag and was said to have forced the boy to perform Seig Heil salutes as part of his fixation with the Nazis. He was obsessed with knives, martial arts weapons and kept a cross-bow as well as collection of Swastika memora bilia. He used to stride around his home in storm gear. As a child he enjoyed hurting animals and tortured guinea pigs and frogs skinning the latter before rupture their legs. He kept two pet snakes at Tracey Connellys home and fed them dead chicks, mice and rabbits.His fascination with causation pain to animals saw him prosecuted for that very obsession by the RSPCA. The social services never looked into Stevenss backcloth and if they would have done this procedure then maybe they would of taken peters abuse a lot more into consideration and would of taken him into care for re-homing. In my opinion, I think everyone who was involved with Peters death is to blame. If Haringey council would of taken action a lot more sooner this would of never happened, if the social workers looked into everyones background and found out the crucial things this would of not happened, that goes for the police as well.If the paediatrician would of cared to look Peter over, they would have found mo re injuries and then action would have been taken. Everyone in this case is to blame even if they didnt do the abuse. The mother is a poor excuse of a human being she let her child be beaten to death and all she had to say is Im sorry, that is not good enough More action should of be done to prevent this and hopefully in the future we will have more skilled people to run these crucial business and maybe they will stop another child from being abused.
