BABY P Watch: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Baby P in the news…
THE SUN (front page): “Haunting portrait of baby P shows cuts and bruises”
These are the:
“FIRST SIGNS OF TORTURE”
The torture and death of Baby P is not enough for the Sun which continues to search for more pictures of the child to broadcast and therewith show how much it cares for the “blue-eyed angel”.
Here’s one of Baby P fresh out the womb, born on Wednesday March 1, 2006. He’s a healthy weight of 7lob 1oz.
Here’s one of baby P is an Army-style fatigue jacket. He’s smiling. And here’s that front-page shot again, this time with arrows pointing at his “old bruise”, “new bruise” and “red marks”.
Wannabe social workers should make notes. They should be shown the front-page picture and asked to spot any abrasions, lacerations and contusions. Failure to get less than the full three marks would result in a fail, and a job in Haringey.
The Sun’s Dr Carol Cooper looks at the pictures and says: “I don’t like the look of it at all.”
Dr Carol spots the bruise to his left eye, the three red dots beneath his right eye and the swelling and bruising around the eye socket.
She concludes:
“It looks very much that a right-handed person has punched him hard to that area.”
Or that he has fallen and hit his head on something hard, like the corner of a hearth, say…
“It is also possible make-up was used to cover other injuries.”
Yes, that would be possible doctor. But let’s stick to the facts, you are, after all, a scientist…
“There could be more bruising on his left cheek or above his eye with his hair combed and the hat artfully arranged to hide it.”
Could… yes. If only Haringey had a doctor Cooper to call upon.
Pages 6 and 7: “Baby P – I would have been proud to be your mummy.”
No, not Dr Copper. Well, maybe her. That’s what it says on the note by Baby P’s burial site. There are toys and flowers there. Well-wishers have followed the Sun’s clues. Perhaps the Sun placed a few teddies there? Nah, that would be grandstanding, using Baby P to boost its own image and sense of worth…
But what’s this? The Sun has left something. The Sun has left a plaque: “BABY P – 1 Marsh 2006 – 3rd August 2007. Safe at last.”
The Sun has taken ownership of Baby P in death. Shed a tear. It really is that grim…
JANE MOORE: “Sorry, but I can’t shake Baby P from my mind.”
Well, don’t shake him too hard, Jane, ‘cos the social will be on to you…
DAILY STAR: “DI SHRINE TO BABY P”
“A Princess Diana shrine is springing up at the spot where tragic Baby P’s ashes are scattered.”
Princess Diana is not dead, but resides on the fabled Sixth Floor of Harvey Nichols. So why a shine to her?
“He was the baby of hearts,” says a note from a T. Blair…
The Star has a picture of the “Many tributes” - some of which have been mistakenly placed on other people’s graves in the area…
DAILY MIRROR: “WE FAILED YOU.. WE’RE SORRY YOU SUFFERED (But not sorry enough for anyone to resign”

Social worker and doctors are now going to be extremey scared of passing away ANY marks on a child that may or may not have been casued through malicious intent. How many more stories of over zealous child protection personnel are we going to get in media in the future because of this.
Whilst it is the case that no child abuse should be missed it will enevitably happen, this is one case that has gone badly wrong in the midst of many many thousands of children who are visited by social services. I think you have to be a very dedicated person to be still wanting a job in that sector now as you get bugger all thanks for it whatever happens.

It’s a blonde child because you can’t see the bruises on a black child so where’s the fun in that but they are handy for famines and cataracts when their eyes go blue blind and The United Colours of Benneton commercials. There is balance in the media you know.

A child dies from abuse in the crappiest area to live in Britain. And people are shocked? Why? And why are the social workers being blamed? They are over worked, underpaid, abused by all, yet they still go out and do a day’s work. They did not beat and torture the child, those that did are now in prison.

ooops. clicked too soon.
Wish I’d copied the BNP list and saved it. Sadly I was too late.

All animals? All people?
November 19th, 2008 at 10:44 am
I prefer animals to many of the people I come across.

The BNP list will be quite entertaining eventually, especially when ‘they get theirs’
To be truthful C&C the more I know of people , the more I prefer my dogs.
(Some 2 legged though do qualify for the 4 legged brigade)

Because he’s a ‘flaxen-haired blue-eyed angel’ and if his picture is on the front page they sell more copies.
I’ve read a couple of vendetta sites and the psychopaths who post that stuff really scare me. I have no sympathy for the perpetrators but we do have a rule of law and anarchy is never the answer.
The person who posted the details of their other children with a challenge to ‘batter and rape them to death to teach em a lesson’ is as bad as, if not worse, than the three . (Yes I did report it!)
Most of the stuff is too sick to even repeat. The same stuff is being spouted about the BNP members on the list. However, I did find the list very interesting but it’s down now.. A bit of a ‘well well well’ moment!

I think its a general air of national guilt that this has happened, and the media having its blond/e/blue eyed wallow.
try Marilyn Monroe tomorrow Anorak

What is the point of endless stories about Baby P?
