Baby P Mum Has Another Baby

with 3 comments

This, for want of kinder language, is completely fucking ridiculous. The mother of Baby P, the baby brutally beaten, killed and let down along the line by the government and social workers, has had another baby while on remand for the original killing.

Amazingly, she is actually fighting to get custody of this new child. I’m not even going to provide any kind of semi-insightful opinion on this, just to say that this woman should be prevented from ever being around children again and I hope that social services and other authorities will at least minutely make amends for mistakes by taking this child away from her.

  1. Unfortunately, occurences like this are the consequence of people who are neither qualified to bring up a child nor want one, having kids because of economic motivations. Because of the state’s leniency towards welfare when it comes to children, for many people having a child is a lifestyle/career choice. Of course the state needs to look after the welfare of children, but the system is so skewed here that for many people it makes economic sense to have kids whether they like or not rather than going out and finding a job. I’m sure this wasn’t the first case and I’m even more sure this won’t be the last.

  2. firstly no one is qualified to bare and bring up children. you can have as much or a little experiance with children and life and stil proove to be either a succsessful or disasterous parent which I would say a number of court cases reguarding the murdering of offspring over this past decade as shown this to be the case. many yrs ago it could have been alot easier to cover up sch heinous crimes due to the lack of legistlation and technology that we have at present.

    I really dont think its fair to say this is happening because of people choosing to have children as a career either. before the welfare system was introduced, parents had a duty to bring their children up at least until they were adults and because of this family was around so if their was any abuse going on the extended family was more likely to see it. now days the law more or less cuts poor families ties with their kids at sixteen as they can no longer support their children and because of this most many parents say to their kids the minite benifits stop
    “get a job or your out” for young kids living in cities with little qualifications their is little hope of a job for at least three or four years even doing the most deminial tasks as employers would rather go for the surer bet of employing someone a little older or someone who has made the grade and is noe attending collage. the problem is children simply do not grow up at sixteen cause the govorment says they do and i think theese social ills are often manifested by our nanny state that constantly sets targets for us all to follow. imagine a young troubled girl in approved school they give her say a couple of weeks in a flat with in a bording school to teach her independance then she turns 18 n its by by we done our job now your sopose to be all grown up! she allready thinks she is and they have reinforced her illusion by a coulple of weeks prep for the outside world, she cant get a job, her head is a mess n some “night in shining armour”, Most likley older but with such complexes that he cant relate to somone his own age comes along n shows a bit of love n she fall pregnant “hey mum”! im all grown up now n she is gonna love this child n live happily ever after in her head! she is young it aint a career for her its the love she allways wanted n give her hope that she will become an exepted part of society she is a very messed up person indeed. and because she turned 18 the law said go out on ya own and they affectivly just did what the law said turn her out. this is what parents are doing with their 16 yr old children! we no longer have auntie edna n grandad n mother watching our steps like we use to cause the law says well in this case i think the law has a hell of a lot to answer for we need our extended families back to tell us how it is not some moron with a pen deciding when our children should leave the nest I for one will be behind my child till i die if they need feeding an clothing at 40 then i shall be doing that not sending my daughters out into an uncertain world just because the law says they have grown up I shall be the judge of that. baby Ps mother was in care as a youth i think if the govournment is going to take on people messed up children it should see the job through to the end just like every parent should

  3. why are these parents still allowed to reproduce after comitting crimes like this, i personally think all child killers and peodophiles should be sterilised so at least they can’t inflict the same pain an another of their children.
    it makes perfect sense to me!
