More on Baby P
Treated like a dog, used as a punchbag: The life and death of a baby boy called ‘Smiley’:
This is another article about Baby P. Nothing we didn’t already know except this article contains forensic recreations of the multitude of injuries that Baby P received that social services never caught.
Even though they’re just recreations it’s still a little hard to take. Not for the faint of heart.
Thanks to Sasha for the tip.
I’ve also made two posts about Baby P over at MyCrimeSpace which can be read here and here.

This is the most horrible case of child abuse that I have heard about in a long time. It makes me sick to my stomach. I don’t understand why a “breeder” calling herself a mother, would allow her child to be treated this way by a piece of scum. I hope that they both rot in prison (and hell).

This case reminds me a lot of the Sean Sowards case. I have to admit I’m feeling a little faint after reading it (and sobbing). But maybe that’s just because I’m pregnant…

I’m just sick at my stomach over this story. Just when you think people can’t get any sicker, you read something as horrifying as this. I just pray that these people get what’s coming to them and pay severely for what they did to this poor baby.

Rosa: OMG! Those details of his abuse are completely horrifying! What in the hell is wrong with those people? Everyone involved should be punished to the fullest extent of the law, even the so-called social worker’s. My heart just breaks for that poor, helpless little baby.

I have been crying for 15 minutes straight. I hate this feeling of helplessness I feel at this moment. I can’t believe the amount of torture this child endured for the short 17 months he was alive.

OK I am actually physically sick and cannot stop crying. I do not know how the fuck this can be happening. What is this sickness? Is it drugs? What is this? Is there a mental defect that is just so pervasive in these people that they can’t feel any kind of empathy? How do these sick people find each other? The Internet? Why keep something alive just enough so you can keep it in utter constant and agonizing pain?? IT literally baffles me. I don’t think I can ever, ever understand it. They say the baby was “inflicting pain on himself by butting his head into walls, etc.” What do I think? I think he was trying to kill himself. He realized somehow in those 17 months that with the right amount of pain he passes out and is gone for a little while… I don’t know, that’s just what my hunch is.
This needs to be stopped. I don’t know if that baby’s photo’s, the REAL ones, should be posted in every corner of the world so that people CAN’T IGNORE this type of abuse or what. Maybe that would just give people more excuse to turn a blind eye and say “well, I know something is wrong, but since it’s not *that* bad, I’ll ignore it.” But this has to stop. Ideas anyone??

I am writing this through tears! I can not even fathom that this actually happened! It makes me so sad and sick to know that this little boy went through so pain in his short little life. I am not a very religious person, but I believe that this little guy has a very special place in heaven, and his “caregivers” have a very special (and PAINFUL) place in the deepest pits of hell!

The website Rosa put a link to is just so sad. I do not understand how this went unnoticed by SO MANY people outside of the home. That is a pediatricians job… to make sure the baby is HEALTHY and HAPPY. She should lose her license for not noticing this kind of obvious abuse! And the social worker… if this baby is considered “at risk,” then wouldn’t it make sense to PICK THE BABY UP AND EXAMINE THE BABY?!?! She should lose her license as well. I think it is horrible that this baby endured such torture. All the mom had to do was call the police. She should go to jail for ignoring it. And the stepdad that was torturing this child… it said he will only go to jail for up to 14 years! 14 years! That is it! Someone should smack his private area with a shoe, wrap him in a blanket to dehydrate, cut off his fingertip and rip off his fingernail… plus everything else he did to this innocent child until he dies! I have a 15 month old son… I could not even imagine if anything like that was happening. But, if I noticed any sign of abuse, I would call the police on my “husband”, then take my children and leave! Wait, the “mom” was too busy playing online poker and chatting online to notice that her baby was being brutally beat and left in his dark room for up to 23 hours a day without toys or anything with a fully loaded diaper… that was literally eating away at his skin. I don’t think I can keep typing as I am crying my eyes out typing this. This step “dad” needs to die a slow and painful death! How can you deny cruel and unusual punishment for this monster when he inflicted cruel and unusual punishment for that innocent baby?

I hope that our prison officers are as negligent as Haringey Councils officers have been. If so then other inmates may get chance to inflict some kind of justice on these evil fuckers. There is no punishment here in UK to suit this crime.
‘Land of Hope and Glory ?’ Don’t believe a word of it ! This country is not worth a WANK !

I just wanted to further say it has been two days since I read this story. This is literally the worst thing I’ve ever heard in my life. Ever… And I have worked in newspapers and broadcast for 6 years now and read child-killing stories every single day.
Two days later and I can still barely get food down my throat. I can barely take it that i live in a world like this. I don’t know how to resolve these emotions. I feel so damn helpless. I’d love, love, looooove to cut this guys fingertips off with a Stanley knife like he did to the tiny little baby fingers on Baby P.

Wish I could get my hands on these fuckers. The dude likes pain? I’d give him pain. And only up to 14 years for torture and murder?
Gotta hope the fellow prisoners in the UK would treat a child abuser the same way they’d treat one here in the US. Warden should turn a blind eye and make sure every other prisoner KNOWS what this ass did to that poor kid.
Mom just needs to be shot in the head, after of course her ovaries, fingernails, and teeth are removed without the use of painkillers.
I had to wonder about the following people: dad who saw the kid a couple of days before the death and didn’t report the abuse , the pediatrician, and the social worker. What about other family members???? All those fucks need to be dead.
Wish it was okay to sterilize these sorts of people and cut off their hands. Or maybe paralyze them, then they wouldn’t be able to hurt any other child.

[...] will be a candlelit vigil tonight between 8-8:05 p.m. to remember Baby P for those that are interested. On December 13 there will be a march in Little Baby P’s [...]

My first question is about Baby P’s real father who had visitation – why didn’t he notice anything? All he said was that Baby P was screaming for “Daddy” when he dropped him back off at the abuser’s place…
My second comment is for the 15 year old border who finally came forth – WTF?! How selfish can everyone be?! “Everyone was afraid of him” she said. Well, if everyone is seeing what’s being done to this baby and doesn’t agree with it, get together and kill the Mother F*cker! Or at least, don’t help hide it from the Social Worker! That’s your way out! Let the Social Worker see what sick things are going on! They are all SELFISH! My own fears of a sick f*ck like this would NEVER stop me from helping a defenseless little baby! I would without a second thought, risk my life to try to save a baby from something like this!
