Today will see the sentencing of the parents of Daniel - another child to die at the hands of his parent - the school were said to know he scavenged from bins , he was half the weight he should have been , was left in squalor and had many bruises and previous injuries and yet again he was failed by society/authorities . admittedly I have not investigated thoroughly all the details but again it emphasises how important it is to all be working together and if in doubt 'SHOUT' and keep shouting if you suspect any neglect , abuse etc another little angel in heaven x
