Preston Davey - whole life term for murderer and 25 years for the partner.
Let’s hope and pray yet again things change so no more poor babies and children die.

think potential care givers (foster/ adoptive parents) should have their phones and laptops/ devices forensically scoured.
That would unearth many “obvious” predators.

The number of times Preston was admitted to hospital with injuries in the very short time he was with those predators was also an indicator they were predators.

Missed opportunities and failings with current procedures.

You missed out parents for care givers.

Haven't defined predators yet.

I’m not getting into a ridiculous back and forth with you where you pretend to not know what a predator is.

Good luck to you x

Also zero compassion when she took drugs during her pregnancy. He was born with drugs in his system and, presumably, damaged from that. She was abusing him from conception. And clearly he wouldn't have been safe with her as he was taken away.

I was born with drugs in my system, and weaned off heroin. My birth mum was unaware of the pregnancy with me, but i was fortunate to be given up for adoption and not "pay" for her sins. Poor Preston didn't stand a chance, as you say, bless his soul. He deserved to be loved, and it's heartbreaking he was let down by so many.

Shame on you.

To say that about an innocent tiny baby

It doesn't matter what his mother did or didn't do

He was a life..a tiny little baby.

I just can't, that really upset me. My faith in humanity was at an all time low after this horrific case and that's just shattered what I had left.

@Thedevilhasfinallycaughtupwithhim

Why have you come on to a post about the horrific death of an innocent baby and tried to point score and goad another poster into an argument, are you okay?

ForeverDelayedEpiphany · 18/06/2026 18:14

Some days I genuinely wished I lived in a bubble, cocooned ftom the world. Knowing these things happen is something I wished I could "unknow" 💔😭

It's been happening since the dawn of time and yes, it's mainly men who do it.

Mylastusernamewasbetter · 18/06/2026 18:51

placemats · 18/06/2026 17:51

No. Obviously not.

I just don’t think the logical conclusion of that is to give him to predators.

What are obvious predators?

@Thedevilhasfinallycaughtupwithhim

Men are obvious predators.

See DV statistics.

See child abuse stats.

See in mate population.

This is what you were goading pp to say. She valiantly resisted..I won't. Its men.

Hth.

I'm perfectly fine thanks.

Are you okay?

I was asking a question that you simply answered that was replied to by @Thedevilhasfinallycaughtupwithhim with abuse.

Another poster who has accused me of goading and using the horrific murder of a baby as an excuse.

Shameful.

I thought he was hoping I’d be homophobic.
I’m not so it was a bit of a wasted few hours for him.

Not so sure about you.

And the lowest of the low to say that on a this thread. Shameful. And abusive

TheContoursALittleMisunderstandingNsoul · 18/06/2026 19:07

@KeepPumping you can bet your bottom Dollar it's happening in the UK.
The internet is nothing short of a sewer and it provides a tool for these deviants to contact eachother swap files etc.

Child abuse imagery should be heavy sentences and not community orders etc.

Ian Watkins (Lostphrophets singer) and Ian Huntley got their comeuppance in prison so hopefully this evil pair will too.

I have never read something as disgusting as what those vile creatures did to that poor poor baby. What an awful short life he had. A tiny baby who couldn't even walk yet being preyed on and living in pain from the people who should have shown him love. I honestly cried when I read it. I hope they live in fear and pain for the rest of their days. I hope they are set upon in prison and I'm not sorry for feeling that way. They are the lowest of the low scum that ever walked this earth!

And the hospital staff and social services that failed him should lose their jobs too. Utterly mind boggling and heartbreaking that this should be allowed to happen.

I’m not going to read it as ik it’ll stick on my mind. But just reading this is enough to know how bad it was.

Whilst what she did was awful, no one is going to execute a 14 yr old.

Wait until she is 16, problem solved.

If they brought back execution by firing squad for what these guys did would that stop it, or would they go to countries where law enforcement was weaker?

I really don’t think that’s a consideration we should be basing our laws and punishments on.

Hth.

But the mother of this beautiful little soul, now at rest, is a predator, she preyed on an old woman with her scumbag friend, offering friendship, a very precious commodity to a lonely old person? And then murdered her, and then wheeled her body round town in a wheelie bin before deciding where to dump it, then used the woman"s money to stuff their sick little faces with lemonade and crisps.

In this case Ii"m not so sure, they used to do it to brave men who due to shell-shock couldn"t find their way back to the proper trench, with these two obscenities it would almost be a relief, do you want to read about these scumbags in years to come every time they appeal, every time they get attacked or have to be moved for their own safety?
