When a child is thought to be at risk, the Police and Social Services have to instigate a section 47 child protection investigation.

It looks like in this case the police have been failing miserably, with regards to their child protection failings.

Today we heard the news that Tracey Connolly the Mother of Baby Peter will be released very soon.

Peter aged 2 was failed by Haringey Social Services, and other agencies.

Massive multi agency failings leading to Peter death.

The Child had so many bruises on his body, with a large amount of bruising.

The boy was on a child protection, Social Workers went round to the house to monitor the boy, yet they missed all the bruises all over his body. Leading to his death.

The former was also missed by hospital paediatricians and the nursing staff and health visitor and GP..

This happened in 2007. the boy was murdered by his mother and step father.

How many more children will be left to die because of these police failings.

An utter disgrace.
