Baby P’s Third Birthday Party Mourn Porn: RSVP The Sun
HAVING made a land grab for Baby P’s final resting place by planting a plaque amid the ashes, the Sun now sends James Clench to St Pancras & Islington Cemetery.
Beneath a shot of Clench holding a big candle, before the pile of teddies and flowers, the Sun tells readers:
“New shrine on date of tragic tot’s 3rd birthday.”
Fancy a day out? It’s Baby Ps third birthday, at least it would have been had he not died. Behind Clench and his lit candle are six people - five women and a child.
“Caring parents and kids from across the UK turned up to pay their respects to the mite whose tortured death social workers failed to stop.”
It’s a birthday party. Bring the kids. Bring a gift. No need to wrap it – the paper will only come off in the rain.
Here’s Sara Dee, with her two-year-old daughter. They have travelled up from Colwyn Bay, North Wales. Young Emily is holding a “blue party balloon”.
Is she dressed a fairy? A cowboy? A mourner?
“No one in Britain must ever forget what happened to Baby P,” says mum. “It was a disgraceful episode that should never have been allowed to take place and must never be repeated.”
Agreed. It should be illegal to torture and abuse a child. Enough! It must stop now!
“Tracy Isherwood, 42, drove from Heywood, Lancashire, with her daughter Kristi Podmore, 15, and pal Charlotte Talks, 14, to lay a floral tribute shaped like a teddy bear.”
This is why teens come to London. This is the big emotional experience, the matinee show: I Was There.
Says Tracy:
“Kirsti shares her birthday with Baby P so it feels particularly poignant for us.”
As a mum. As a dad… Come if you must. It’s your choice. But the Sun sets the agenda. Baby P was the “tortured death social workers failed to stop”.
Ms Isherwood says:
“And the social workers who failed to spot what was going on should never be allowed to work with kids again.”
And the Sun’s campaign to purge Haringey social services of case workers who were involved with Baby P goes on – those workers who are now experienced in the sink of humanity and may be best placed to read the signs.
Meanwhile:
“Children’s Secretary Ed Balls is urging 30,000 former social workers to return to the profession after the Baby P case led to a staffing crisis with almost one in ten post remaining unfilled.”
But who need social workers when you have the caring Sun?
See you next year. RSVP…

social workers in child protection need a) proper training; b) a naturally suspicious nature; c) half a brain’s worth of common sense to work out when they are being taken for a ride and fobbed of by these disgusting bastards who pass for parents.
unfortunately too many of them seem to be namby pamby do-gooders who take everything at face value (not all of them, before anyone goes ballistic…) - which unfortunately in the case of child protection can lead to the horrific demise of children like Baby P.
they will get support when they do the job properly - but there are children’s lives at risk here and there should be no room for incompetence or lack of knowledge/experience in that line of work.

We do realise what horrible things people do to small children, come to that other vulnerable people too.
The Hackney Social services are under investigation for not acting even though they had paid over 60 visits to the child, and left him with his abusers. They had the powers to act and to stop it and failed to do so.
But the mournporn brigade don’t do anything until after its all over and the handwringing starts and the sentimental gush flows.
Prevention is one hell of a lot better than angst

Well… as far as the blanket coverage of this little boy’s ordeal goes, I am glad for it. You folks in the UK need to realize what horrible things people to do defenceless children - Baby P is a horrible example of abuse. After all of the fallout since the end of the trail last November, I still believe he could have been saved - if just one bloody person in authority that he had contact with would have stuck up for him. Baby P has been gone for a long time, but he will not be forgotten - his ordeal is the “perfect” catalyst for change in child protection. Social workers in child protection need to be supported - not vilified! RIP Baby P.
