Kaylea Titford: aibu not to understand why safeguarding concerns were not raised beforehand?

Lockdown started in March 2020 and the poor girl died in October, in a badly neglected state.

Surely this neglect just didn’t come out of nowhere in 7 months? Surely no one becomes 22 stone in 7 months?

I don’t understand why concerns were not evident in school or at the GP beforehand? It seems this serious neglect was likely to have been evident and it seems strange that someone outside the home did not raise concerns.

It is horrific. The strain on the family was also huge. The dad worked 50 hours per week and the Mum was caring for 6 children as well as working as a carer, if I'm reading reports correctly. They were all let down, most of all Kaylea. Parents shouldn't be able to conceal in that way.

The judge dismissed that they were “let down” because they were repeatedly offered help for Kaylea during the lockdown and ignored or refused it. This didn’t happen because of failures of the State. Her mum and dad are 100% responsible.

It just gets worse and worse and her mum being a carer, she knew exactly what would happen when someone is left in bed without even the basic care being provided.
