Rest in peace Eleanor

[DueyCheatemAndHow]

14 week old Eleanor was killed at the hands of her father. Once again a catalogue of poor excuses given to hide the neglect and abuse of a newborn baby.

I don't know why I'm writing this. Just to acknowledge her really. I have to believe in the afterlife because I have to believe that she is safe and at peace now.

Rest in peace angel. I'm so very sorry you were so badly let down.

Poor wee thing. She was let down so badly by the people who should have been her protectors.

Jesus, have just read this story. 14 weeks old, I don't even have the words. How can this happen?

I just can't fathom why people would do that. Why not just surrender the baby to social services??

I'm up feeding my 14 week old son and this story is just heart breaking.

Poor little love.

@DueyCheatemAndHow. I choose to 'believe' there's an afterlife, it's comforting. Sadly I know a good deal of people already there who will look after all the wee ones there far too soon xx

Norwich Crown Court heard how the 14-week-old girl had been fed custard cream biscuits, lemon cheesecake, given squash to drink and left at home alone.

Heaven help society! How did no one notice and report this?

Thinking of you too Eleanor. I am so sorry you were not held and cherished, that you were surrounded with the love you deserved. I hope you are held in love and know peace now.

😮😮😮😮😮🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️💔💔💔💔💔💔💔yet again I bet no one intervened. Has nothing been learned since Victoria in London years ago.

Poor soul.

Might be worth a trigger warning x

Many questions in this case, the mother concealed the pregnancy which surely should have resulted in additional support/involvement, did they have learning difficulties? none of this is normal behaviour.
Poor little soul.

Rest in peace little one. I believe in an afterlife too. My dear friend was a wonderful nursery nurse and I like to think she's taking gentle loving care of Eleanor somewhere.

That poor little baby, like it sounds like the baby should have been taken off them but I suppose that is easy to say in hind sight

Rest in Peace precious xxx

I really wish I hadn't clicked on this thread.

Poor little baby. 😢

I agree with all you and others have said, Duey. Absolutely heartbreaking, poor little scrap.

Lovely post OP, thank you, and yes, it absolutely does need talking about, but I agree with PP about it needing a trigger warning

Thanks for posting. I hadn’t seen this story, and like @Flickflak the inspector’s words really hit home. My 11 week old is snoring next to me and it makes me so sad to think this baby wasn’t cherished.

Another article says SS signed them off 4 weeks prior to her death. Another very tragic case.

Well baby p's mother is on the verge of being released, so obviously not.

Another one. It will just keep happening and happening ffs makes me so angry.

Not heard about this...poor little angel. All those people that wouldngive their right arm for a baby and yet scum like this can treat an innocent little baby so appallingly

Exactly @LndnGrl and a recent thread on her release still had some apologists bloody bleating 'well she's done her time, can't be locked away forever'...

🤬🤬🤬

@LndnGrl I had to stop reading the baby p thread at this
If she has served her sentence and she poses no risk to the public, then there is absolutely no legitimate reason for keeping her in prison. Raab trying to prevent her release is nothing more than cynical political posturing designed to pander to public ignorance and vindictiveness.

Why is the argument always 'oh you're just ignorant and vindictive, to want to keep her locked up' ?!

And huge apologies @DueyCheatemAndHow for thread derail.
