Single mum has sex 200 times with boy of 12

In a Teeside court yesterday a single mum admitted to having sex with a boy of 12 almost 200 times. It was revealed that she would ply him with alcohol and buy him gifts to get him into bed. On the ’100th’ occasion of having sex she bought him a new pair of trainers.

The boy who cannot be named for legal reasons, boasted of his sexual exploits in online posts and Angela Sullivan the woman in question, kept a diary of their relationship, sending her son to stay with relatives so she could invite the boy around.

Yesterday Sullivan admitted to child abuse and will now have psychiatric tests carried out on her whilst being remanded in custody until February.

Investigations into Child Abuse are “inadequate”

The official watchdog Offsted has warned that a third of the investigations into “serious” child abuse cases (this is where a serious injury or death of a child has been found, and the cause is deemed to be abuse), show weak management and a distinct lack of inter-agency coordination.

This review looked at 173 cases between April 2008 and March 2009, and found that 34% (that’s roughly 58 cases) of them were not as well examined as they should have been.

Reading between the lines, 58 children who were at serious risk, may have needed help from the state – and may not have gotten it.

Mark and Nicky Webster; the damage of false accusations.

If a child is at risk, we should act immediately and decisively; no child should be left at risk if an authority has doubt about their welfare. However, in this case, the parents were accused of child abuse towards one of their children (who had injuries deemed to be caused by the parents), and so all 3 children were removed from there care, and eventually adopted by another family.

It has now been shown, and the courts admit, that the parents were not ata fault – the injuiries were caused by an illness that the child had. Now that the courts are satisfied that the children are not at risk, they should be returned – but they won’t be. Because they are now settled with a new family.

Is this right? Should children be kept from their biological family when they are not at risk? Or is the additional upheaval too much?

Baby P killers could be free in 3 years

Tracy Connelly, Steven Barker, and his brother Jason Owen, have been named publicly as the convicted murderers of Peter Connelly, (famously known as Baby P). The vicious monsters that took his innocent life and inflicted such shocking and atrocious injuries to the little boy have been sentenced and are now segregated from the general prison population in their respective prisons. This has been done for their safety. Personally I don’t think they have a right to this. They are evil and have no right to special protective treatment.

Steven Barker is in Wakefield Prison, which has housed some of the UK’s most dangerous criminals. Tracy Connelly was in Holloway originally, where Myra Hindley and Maxine Carr served time. She has since been moved to County Durham, to Low Newton Prison.

Barker will be eligible for parole in just 8 years even though he has been convicted of this gruesome murder as well as the rape of a 2 year old girl.

Connelly could be released in as little as 3 years while Owen could be free and in our communities in just 2 years.

All 3 will be given new identities and will be given protection by the authorities to ward against vigilante attacks.

Putting these measures in place to protect these horrible creatures seems unjust when poor little Peter received no such protection from anyone!

In my honest and outraged opinion these monsters should face the public and pay the full price for their crimes, not enjoy the protection of the state for them.
