Baby Preston Davey - Content warning concerns CSA (added by MNHQ)

[Sadmamma35]

I’ve just read about baby Preston Davey and I cannot stop thinking about him. I have a 13-month-old of my own, which is probably why this has hit me so hard — I can really relate and my baby is my everything.
I’m crying as I write this. Why does it hurt so much for a baby I’ve never even met? Has anyone else felt this way?
How do you cope with the negative thoughts that follow when you read something like this? 💙

The biological ‘father’ got to make a victim impact statement but he’d never met Preston.

It’s the foster parents who I feel deeply for.

Heartbreaking words from his foster carers too - they brought tears to my eyes.

Yes. It must be his right as the biological parent to do that but it’s hard to read such emotive stuff knowing he had no relationship with the child. Similarly, while I’ve no doubt the biological mother felt a strong instinctive bond with the child, it’s very hard to read her words about the pain of knowing how he was abused and killed, knowing that she literally tortured and killed a person herself. What about the pain her victim’s relatives have to live with?

It has been said “those who are found negligible will face consequences as the public rightly want answers….”
I won’t hold my breath.

God bless you little Preston. Sleep tight sweetheart.

Yes! Evil b! I hope he rots:

They'll no doubt be put in a special wing that houses other paedos, and the prison officers will be duty bound to keep them safe. They'll probably start out in solitary and be slowly integrated after a while. I hope every day they're shaking in fear, anticipating the inevitable. It'll be a waiting game, but I look forward to the day I read that someone got their chance, especially the bastard in his Jurassic PJs (whose name I refuse to say).

Rest peacefully baby Preston.

Ian Watkins wasn't safe though, was he, so I hope they live in fear.

I’ve just seen the video of Preston when he was with his loving foster carers chuckling his little head off, happy and content. Poor little innocent soul.

No-one comes out of this well

I just hope the other prisoners step up and makes the lives of those 2 absolute misery

Were they both being held in prison since the crime / during the trial or will tonight be their first night?

Thankful they got the right sentences but seeing the state of Preston’s birth mother and father and knowing what she did to that poor, elderly lady she tortured and murdered, I doubt little Preston would have fared much better with her. RIP little man x

I’ve just seen the video of him being woken up by Varley shouting “boo” at him. After seeing his eyes, I now know what they meant about “frozen watchfulness”. He looked like he didn’t know what was going to happen next.

Some justice has been served for him today at least.

I’ve heard about this, but just can’t bear to watch it.
I’m sure karma will be waiting.

I read the BBC report and I was utterly shocked that Varley was in possession of thousands of extreme pornographic images but it 'wasn't in the public interest' to introduce them into the court case. Shame social services hadn't found them when the pair were being screened for adoption.

what!? I hadn’t heard this. That is crazy. Were the images children?? Absolutely sick and would prove he adopted poor little Preston for one reason only ☹️

Sorry I just don't know. There was a lot of background about the case on the BBC news website and I saw it there today.

It was animals.

Should have to serve 25 years without parole.

I'm so glad to hear their sentences. I thought the other thing might get off lightly but thankfully justice prevailed. Sick , disgusting , evil freaks.

This case has absolutely broken my heart.

I do not, for one second, believe that this just came out of the blue once they adopted poor baby Preston. These deranged specimens had horrible thoughts the whole time they were together, and even before, and had a plan in place to obtain a child for their own amusement and fulfil fantasies.

Varley's mugshot haunts me. He looks evil. Its interesting to see the comparisons in interviews, where he was quite "nicey nice" in the first round, then showed his true colours when his mask slipped in the subsequent ones.

His accomplice also looks creepy, and is just as bad as Varley, in my opinion. I think (and this is just my theory) that they had an understanding that when he was away for work Varley would still send trophy photos during the day for his amusement. Theres no other reason they were sent.

The only people I feel sorry for in all this is Preston's foster parents, Sandra and Paul, his biological grandmother who wanted him to raise alongside his sister (and was picking up the pieces of her daughters poor choices) and obviously, baby Preston, above all.

I also feel sorry for the jury, prosecutor, police and judge who have all been subjected to hearing and seeing the most horrendous things.

The rest of them - Varleys mum, biological parents etc, all played a role, even if it was minor in this mess.

The social workers and safeguarding team at the hospital need to be investigated. I have NO idea how a social worker didnt think it was a red flag that a small baby had 3 hospital visits, seemed upset on visits and was refused visits with his foster parents. The fact she is still working and hasn't resigned already just shows her true colours. If a baby died on my watch, based on lack of oversight, I couldn't trust myself in that line of work and would be traumatised.

This whole case is just horrendous. I cant get it out of my head. That poor poor baby, who likely died in agony, thinking nobody loved or cared for him.

And no punishment is good enough, as is wont bring back Preston.

Awful.

This is the BBC item

Varley faced extreme pornography chargespublished at 10:25

BBC North West Tonight
The court hears how there were further charges of extreme pornography in relation to Jamie Varley but it was ruled there was no public interest in pursuing these.
The judge agrees that handsets - seized as part of the investigation - that have images shown to the jury will be destroyed.
The trial heard Varley had "hundreds if not thousands" of images and videos, a proportion of which included naked images of Preston and other disturbing and distressing evidence

Yep, just horrendous.

Warped individual. No cure for the disease they both have

All of this.

This is and will haunt me for the rest of my life, having my baby boy being similar in age and appearance to Preston over these months as the case has come out. If you are struggling with this mentally,

Wtf!! Now wondering what that sicko may have also done to their dog.
