Logan Mwangi TW: Child Abuse

[Merryoldgoat]

I’m just so sad. Why do these dreadful people do this?

I want to breathe the life back into him and take him away from all that pain.

I’m a fairly rubbish parent a lot if the time. But I just can’t conceive of the evil that does this to a poor little child.

Yes social services are underfunded but it's also true that there are just some rubbish social workers. I work in a school, for three years we have been warning them about the safety/,neglect of a child. Three years of endlessly reporting every incident only for the social worker to hold meetings where she would defend and make excuses for the mother, downgrade the case and say no concerns despite police reporting their concerns just the week before.

It has finally come to a head after 3 years due to a massive safeguarding incident where it can no longer be ignored/explained away. Fortunately not murder but still a serious incident.For years school professionals have been repeatedly ignored with the mother's word taking priority over what we witnessed with our own eyes. I can see how terrible cases like this happen often.

I had to turn lbc over this morning as it was too sad hearing that dreadful evil vile monster begging them to find her son knowing that he had already died.
Sick people walk amongst us. There is no comprehension to it at all.

Susan that is awful and must be so frustrating

Yes my partner has had this for 3 years also. Our reports are not only ignored but we are openly treated with contempt. If schools arent being listened to then what the hell is going on. It makes me very very angry. Social workers seem to have a control complex, they are totally sucked in by the crying and lying of an abusive mother. My partners children were told by social workers that they were lying, exaggerating, mistaken. They have been beaten, neglected, screamed at daily, made to sleep on the floor, made to bang on the floor if they want anything. The mother? She gets handed cash and anything she wants by social workers. They are criminals.

I bet nobody knew what to do with the 13 year old. Fosters carers didn't want him, where next, his stepdad wanted him. So there he goes.

From what I've gathered, teen was taken of his mother after she faked a cancer diagnosis, possibly had hit him, and was placed into foster care.
Cole had been in a relationship with her, and was her carer, and teens stepdad for 10 years.
But at some point while still living in that household, met Williams and got her pregnant and moved out of there and in with her. Teen was in foster care, with Cole applying for custody of him.
Do other's who've followed this more closely know if that's correct?

Just watched the ITV documentary, harrowing... and none of them showed an ounce of remorse. Zero reaction from him or the son. No tears, no emotion during the interviews. She was crying but I think only for herself when they were real tears and not crocodile. How can people be so evil?!

Lots of similarities with little Arthur's case, e.g. they were both made to stand facing a wall for extended periods of time, and the step parents enjoyed taunting them eating fast food while they had nothing/cereal.

It's clear these step parents see the children as a threat, maybe because they're a link to the ex partner. I really think people need to be so careful welcoming step parents into their home. Is it worth the risk?!

I don’t understand why they keep them. I understand why people have dc initially but when they don’t want to be parents or to look after their dc why do they push and push and abuse them and make their lives so absolutely miserable?

Bullies enjoy the power. I believe this trio actively enjoyed making Logan's life a misery. It probably bonded them together - 'us against him.' by making him the 'other,' the scapegoat of every argument. It was a systematic, ongoing campaign of psychological and physical trauma and abuse. Plus child benefits means they are worth keeping around 😥

The fact Jay/John was so insecure that he felt threatened by a child, is a reflection of how truly pathetic he is.

I noticed on the documentary that the mother didn't use Logan's name once. She just kept calling him "my son".

He was stopped from seeing his real dad and paternal grandparents. This crap needs to end, most dad's aren't violent and deserve to see their children. It seems to be step parents a lot involved in this. He would have had care if contact wasn't stopped
