the failure in this case caused the death of this child, this comes under the heading of murder in the highest degree, thank god these useless council workers have quit...they should never be allowed to work in this capacity again, be it with children and the elderly and other vulnerable people.

Somehow, I get the strange feeling that once the dust has settled, these same social workers will mysteriously find the same type of job in another council's social work department. Ed, live up to your name, and have the "balls" to ensure that you prove me wide of the mark!

A lovley little boy too, what a tragedy. He should have been looking forward to tearing open Christmas presents instead of what he got from those monsters!! I can't pretend to even imagine what suffering he went through.

Not before bloody time. Everyone involved in this case should be sacked.

Agree with the above comments - they'll be merely staying out of the firing line till all the fuss dies down. Come on Mr Balls (how apt a name for him!) and show you really mean business.

[quote]Mrs Shoesmith had also insisted there was no evidence requiring anyone to resign or be sacked over their involvement in the case.[/quote] I believe this little boy's home was visited on no less than 60 occasions before his death. What evidence does she want?.. I think if she looks closely at her hands, she will see that they are stained with this wee fella's blood, metaphorically speaking!

I've an awful feeling that nobody in Harringey actualy deserves sacked for incompetence, but rather, this poor baby has been the victim of systemic 'political correctness'. They've probably been afraid to take baby into care bacause of legal ramifications, and not been able to do what they felt was right. -It's probably not the people that should be binned, -it's the system they have to work with!
