I found this documentary fascinating.
Initially I thought Kenzey was very childlike, naive, quite vulnerable. Then the more we saw of her the more I thought "hang on, this just doesn't add up".
Who spends 45 minutes making up a bottle in the kitchen with the door shut? Why did Kyle say "it's not the baby crying, it's the telly?" when she thought she heard her baby crying? If it was due a feed it would be understandable for the baby to be crying. If she thought the baby was crying why wouldn't you go to her rather than just pop your head round the door and ask a question without checking properly?
Kenzey knew the police had seized her and Kyle's phones, so why deny physical violence and arguments when there was very damning evidence on her and Kyle's phones? She said their relationship was fine, and they just had the odd argument like most couples. But most couples don't fight (they might have arguments, but not physical fights), and most new dads don't call babies cunts.
Kenzey often sounded like she was repeating a script, there was no passion or insistence to her protestations. She seemed to be faux-religious (crossing herself and saying it was in God's hands). She couldn't seem to acknowledge the difference between child abuse and serial killers - kept insisting her and Kyle weren't comparable to the Wests (she mentioned them twice) and Ian Huntley and Myra Hindley.
Her relationship with her mum was weird. Mum drove to the contact visits, Kenzey got the train. They didn't appear to phone each other or meet up. Her mum was allowed what sounded like fairly regular contact, whereas Kenzey's contact was very restricted and reducing, probably because Children's Services were planning to have her children adopted. Mum didn't seem to question that or consider that her daughter and Kyle might be guilty, hence the repeated references to cot death.
Neither Kenzey or her mum never made mention of the call to 111 rather than 999, or Googling 'baby not breathing' rather than calling for an ambulance. For me, that was the single most relevant bit of information regarding Kenzey's involvement - surely if you discovered your baby floppy, not breathing normally with blood around their mouth you would call 999 not get your phone out to Google. IME young, inexperienced parents tend to panic and overreact rather than under react.
I imagine Children's Services assessed Kyle as no risk to the baby because him and Kenzey were complicit in minimising his aggression. If Kenzey had just once said she was scared of him, his temper and his verbal abuse to the baby I imagine they would have been much more alert. Kenzey didn't even seem to know that he'd received a caution for slapping her when she was pregnant. Total ostrich syndrome.
An interesting documentary. I'd like to see more from the producer.
