Former teacher guilty of sexually abusing and murdering baby boy he wanted to adopt - CPS

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19657136/

'Data were collected from all 17 Dutch child protective services (CPS) agencies on 13,538 cases of certified child maltreatment in 2005. Family composition of the maltreated children was compared to a large national representative sample of the Netherlands Kinship Panel Study (NKPS). Larger families, one-parent families, and families with a stepparent showed elevated risks for child maltreatment. Adoptive families, however, showed significantly less child maltreatment than expected. '

The trouble is that, as the NSPCC details, so much abuse is unreported, for various reasons. It's hard to know how accurate stats actually are.

So, looking at it through the lens of household stability: children in intact, married two-parent biological families face the lowest statistical risk, while households involving family transition, separation, and non-biological live-in partners see a sharp increase in those risk factors.

Nope it's nearly always a step parent or mum's boyfriend/partner.

What this really boils down to is shagging around and having babies and then moving into someone else. Where is the stability.

A baby, a tiddler can't even expect their natural parents to be together anymore

You rarely see this happening where a mum and dad are married to each other.

Most of these cases involve a young woman whose had a baby with someone, they've lasted 5 mins, sometimes not even that, and then she's moved into someone else. She's introduced them to her babies, Often letting someone she hardly knows move in . Then the problem starts, she either doesn't do anything about it or she joins in and doesn't protect the child . She's more than likely inadequate herself, often drink and drug taking are involved.

Feckin Scum. Isn't this the truth?
Until we crack all this it will keep happening Society and Morals have gone in the dustbin.
These sorts of people wouldn't even understand how people used to meet, get married, then plan for children etc and stay together.

There has been a decline in families cleared for adoption, which predates any new measures after what happened to Preston Davey

18 months! Just how hard is it to find someone and arrest them in that time?

My god.

That's interesting. I asked google and it said this https://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&client=ms-android-samsung-rvo1&source=android-browser&q=are+unrelated+males+more+dangerous+to+children#lfId=ChxjMe

Id rather that we had a dv offenders list much like we do for sex offenders and you had to have a Claire law check or some sort of dbs check. Realistically though there isn't the manpower or governmental will to do anything, even when social services are supervising an adoption they cant/wont protect kids, so what hope could we have that theyd protect kids that arent on their radar

No. This is far sweeping, utterly over-stepping and reactionary.

You don't make rules for everyone due to a small number of people's poor choices. What does moving in mean? What is a stranger in this context?

Can I not have a cousin I've never met before from Australia stay for a couple of months?

Why would you have my choices of who I have in my house so easily given over to the government? I don't need the government (or you) to make my decisions for me.

In principle I completely agree that it is generally unwise for a woman to allow a man she doesn't know to move in with her and her child without more knowledge, but suggesting legislating around it is far too far.

A parent shouldn't be allowed to move an unrelated male stranger into the home.

I understand that you're angry about this poor child. I am too. But this is insane.

It was a live warrent for his arrest issued 18 months before her death. I believe

That's no excuse. A decent mother wouldn't entertain him. She was just as bad. Scum attract scum.

The mother was abusive at the hospital. More mistakes though, shouldn't have been sent home with her.

Mother was drinking 10 pints of lager a night. Just disgusting. Shouldn't even be in a charge of a child if she's going to do that. Where do they get the money too? I doubt she was working?

When is this going to stop? A parent shouldn't be allowed to move an unrelated male stranger into the home.
Where are the child's rights to be safe?

I think I saw a headline that there was an outstanding arrest warrant for the paedophile who murdered that poor child. I don't understand why the Police force that issued it hadn't arrested him. The details I know are upsetting enough, that poor child, I've been avoiding finding out too much.

Oh, Isabelle.

That poor baby. And again discharged 10 days before her death by the NHS despite her broken leg.
