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.

I hope they look into the welfare of children in their care at the places of work.

Its no coincidence that he worked with children and abused a child in his own home

He is a perpetrator and they use planning and control as their modus operandi

No. Obviously not.

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

What are obvious predators?

I feel like you want me to say something specific.

What is it exactly that you’re accusing me of?

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.

Sadly this happens more frequently than many think, the abuse part more than actual murder, there is a dedicated internet following for the type of acts these sick sick fucks were filming, I saw a doc recently on police who police the internet for child abusers and one of the arrests they made on a tip off was one guy with custody of two very young children (God knows how he got them) going to meet another guy with custody of young children with the plan to film an "orgy" with the adults and children and to distribute the images online, even hardened police were shocked, luckily they were both arrested in this instance, it was in Europe not UK.

Lyla82 · 18/06/2026 17:54

I actually wish I'd never read what happened to this poor baby as I can't get it out of my mind. Those men sunk to levels of depravity that I didnt think were even possible.

Its just a fact. Whether we approve or not, unless they live in solitary confinement for life one of the others will kill them opportunistically.
I used to work in a prison.
Nobody ever chooses solitary confinement.

Is that right? Even the guys who are most likely to get killed/attacked would prefer to chance it than live in solitary confinement?

I stand by what I said.

You think what the baby endured is karmic on the mother.

Dry or not. Response to pp or not. Horrendous.

And do not tell me to fuck off.

Mylastusernamewasbetter · 18/06/2026 17:57

shame on you.

JazzyAmbs · 18/06/2026 17:57

I only just read the actual cause of death and wish I hadn’t. Literally made me heave.

There will definitely be more to come out. Watch it all
unravel.

Its not sexual intercourse. Its paedophilic rape

Yes I understand, I was trying to underline the absurdity of their statements.

Struggling to live on this planet when this kind of depravity exists amongst us. What is this life all about?? RIP Preston Davey.

I honestly feel a bit broken by all of this. That people as awful as this live amongst us. The awful lives these tiny children have.

the other will have a lot of birthdays behind bars

Well, he might not. 🤞

Certainly possible if the individual is far gone enough, the problem is punishment, sitting in a sex abuser wing with a telly and probably gaming with access to a gym and maybe study facilities isn"t really punishment for this, they need to be in a work camp environment and worked very very hard every day with the bare minimum of calories?

He began harming her before the adoption was complete. Why not just hand her back and say "I can't cope." Why go throught the bloody adoption?

On a more uplifting note, at the end of the documentary one of the cops (all the cops struggled with their mental health due to the nature of the things they had to see) met up with a girl in her teens who he had saved from a sexual predator/kidnapper when she was a child, it was something like he had a short window of time to get to the place where they thought she was being held or the abuser could have fled with her and maybe never been found (some of these predators seem to have safe houses, basements etc. where they can hide abducted children without detection) he didn"t wait for back up he just drove straight into the property and stormed it, overpowering the abuser and saving the child, it was a hopeful way to end a very dark insight into certain aspects of humanity.

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" 💔😭

@Thedevilhasfinallycaughtupwithhim

I 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.

We need a complete overhaul.

Now, come on, you’re preaching “be honest”. What exactly are you trying insinuate about my “agenda”?

I feel like you’re desperate to change the course of direction of my argument so that you can have something softer to attack.

That's horrible. Have some compassion.

She had zero compassion when she tortured and murdered an old lady.

Fuck right off with that. What did that tiny baby have to do with any of that? His mum's criminal history was not his fault.
We are punished for our own sins, not those of our parents.
I can't believe some people.
Edit: Babies are innocent. They cannot sin. Little Preston didn't deserve anything but love and kindness and what he got was hell.

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.
