Death Penalty

A 17-month-old baby boy has been murdered while in the care of it’s so-called mother, step-father and a lodger.

The little boy was on the child protection register at the time after his injuries were missed by social workers, health visitors, doctors and the police.

The family, which apparently can’t be named because of legal reasons, lived in Haringey, North London and the mother had allegedly already been arrested twice for suspected child cruelty.

The police described the mother as a good liar who always had an explanation for her child’s injuries, the boyfriend apparently treated the baby in the same way that he treated his three dogs and along with the mother smothered the child’s bruising and injuries in chocolate when being visited by social services.  The lodger was supposedly in hiding from members of his own family over sex and abuse allegations.

This poor little boy who was found dead in his blood-splattered cot on August 3rd, with more than 50 injuries to his body, 15 of them to his mouth at the time of his death as well as having had his head shaved and being covered in bruises and scabs.

When the baby died he was found to have eight fractured ribs and a broken back that left him as a paraplegic.  His fingernails, a toenail and the tips of some of his fingers were missing, and he had been hit so hard in the mouth that one of his teeth was found in his stomach.

He had been taken to hospital on numerous occasions with bruising, swelling to his face, blood coming from his ears and infected fingernails, mostly occurring while he was on the ‘at risk’ register.

On one visit to the hospital, shortly before his death, a doctor didn’t examine him as he was cranky, but if they had the broken back he had suffered would surely have been found.

The 32-year-old boyfriend, step-father to the toddler, was today found guilty of causing or allowing the death of a child and will be sentenced on the 15th December along with the lodger, Jason Owen, 36, and the child’s mother.

The mother had already pleaded guilty to the same charge but was cleared of murder by the directions of the judge.  The jury was told to convict the boyfriend of the lesser charge if it could not agree on who caused the injuries to the baby where the three adults were living.

I can’t imagine the pain that poor defenceless little lad must have gone through, why is this still happening in this day and age.  Don’t bother sending them to prison, they need to have the same sort of pain that this poor child suffered in his very short lifetime, inflicted on them, a very slow agonising death.
