nogrip · 15/01/2018 12:35

Looks like a dodgy link - don't click on it

StormTreader · 15/01/2018 12:36

Daily mail? Nope, not interested in whatever it is.

NaughtToThreeSadOnions · 15/01/2018 12:38

It's the poppy wortjington case www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cumbria-42682796

Op I don't know you might want to get MNHQ to edit the title to put a trigger warning it's a pretty graphic case

Fauxgina · 15/01/2018 12:38

It's about Poppi Worthington

delilabell · 15/01/2018 12:43

It's just dreadful. He's never going to get prosecuted for it, nor is anyone else for botching it up.
What that poor baby must have gone through

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 15/01/2018 12:52

She was Probably sexual assaulted, "PROBABLY". Angry. Babies do not bleed from their bottoms for nothing. Why the cover has this peice of shit got something on the powers that be, because they seem scarily determined that there will no justice for this beautiful little angel.

I think the verdict is:

she was raped by her father
BUT
she wasn't definitely killed by being raped, she was probably killed by being suffocated when her father/rapist put her down to sleep next to him.

I don’t understand this. Why has he not been charged with anything? Was there any reason given?

user764329056 · 15/01/2018 15:51

Fucking bastard

mailTo · 15/01/2018 15:51

Incredibly sad and I'm afraid I'm not strong enough to read more about what happened for details as to why the parents aren't imprisoned for life.

Shame on those who think this is the right thread to make trite comments about the Daily Mail.

pisacake · 15/01/2018 15:53

Parents? It was the father, and the mother has nothing to do with him AFAIK.

pisacake · 15/01/2018 15:54

"I don’t understand this. Why has he not been charged with anything? Was there any reason given?"

The police fucked up the evidence through gross incompetence.

The inquest can say Poppi was PROBABLY raped, but they don't need evidence that would be strong enough to put a rapist in prison to do that.

Clawdy · 15/01/2018 15:55

Cannot believe that mother didn't suspect something, sorry.

TheCrossKeys · 15/01/2018 15:55

She's the same age as my DD so would be 6yo now, all those years ahead of her that should have been hers for the taking. I'm not the slightest bit religious yet I sincerely hope there is a fiery spot in Hell reserved for her so-called "father".

Cheekyandfreaky · 15/01/2018 15:56

God this is awful. There are no polite words.

newtlover · 15/01/2018 15:56

you know what, I feel sorry for the coroner

TheCrossKeys · 15/01/2018 15:56

Cannot believe that mother didn't suspect something, sorry.

Yes, let's blame the mother rather than the actual rapist.

DonnyAndVladSittingInATree · 15/01/2018 15:57

Thank you pisacake. How fucking infuriating. Let me guess, there have been no consequences for the police officers who messed up?

Figrollsnotfatrolls · 15/01/2018 15:59

Unfortunately bad stuff can happen to your dc that as a dm you failed to see.
Sad.
And posters on forums would do well to stfu. ..

Youshallnotpass · 15/01/2018 15:59

This makes me feel physically sick, absolute monster. He simply isn't human.

Clawdy · 15/01/2018 15:59

I am not just blaming her. I would like that man to suffer horribly. But I don't believe that was a normal family.
