I have no sympathy for the parents, but can't help thinking that we've seen 3 lives lost needlessly.

I hope it was a long, drawn out death.

That is a question I often ask, Margaret. We seem to be a dumping ground for all of Europe's (and further) dross. I think the Home Office has badly let us down by not carrying out the most basic of checks: of course, we mustn't forget Teflon Tone who decreed that we'd let all and sundry in to keep him in power because we'd give them money and houses.

The 'man in the street' is so often smarter than those we elect to lead us and to look out for us.

Apparently they had a criminal record in Poland too. How the hell were these sub-human ogres allowed in this country. :(

I might be right...

[quote]A Coventry mum who murdered her four-year-old son committed suicide on the eve of his birthday, it has been claimed.

According to the Daily Mirror, a source has revealed that evil Magdalena Luczak killed herself in her cell.[/quote]

Hard to shed a tear isn't it?

I wonder what the investigation will turn up? My bet is suicide because she couldn't face another 28 years behind bars.

A mother who starved and murdered her four-year-old son has died in jail.

Magdalena Luczak and her partner Mariusz Krezolek were each jailed for a minimum of 30 years for murdering Daniel Pelka.

He was starved and beaten for months before he died from a head injury in March 2012 at his Coventry home.

Luczak, 29, died in her cell at HMP Foston Hall Prison in Derbyshire. The Ministry of Justice said the circumstances would be investigated

I think you might have hit the nail on the head there Mr R. The SS (comparison intended) were the responsible party, although the GP sadly slipped up on this occasion: [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-33098413[/url]

The GP concerned is my GP. I'm honestly disgusted that he's been dragged into this. He's basically a good and decent guy.

What I believe we're seeing is a deliberate fogging of the issues by social services who failed this poor child. Social services are at fault, they screwed up, yet they aren't prepared to accept it. Mark my words, we will see a repeat of this because the narcissistic social services refuse to take responsibility.

Apparently it wasn't the fault of the GP either (according to the GP): [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-33084344[/url]

I'm sure Ed Sheeran is doing this as an act of altruism, and not at all as a publicity stunt: [url]http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/local-news/ed-sheeran-joins-warwickshire-fight-8750894[/url]

As we all expected, nothing's changed. Teachers can't be bothered taking responsibility for the children in their care: [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-31464953[/url]

Sadly, I've seen this many times - both in the public & private sectors. A lot of the time, the answer seems to be that these people need to be read the metaphorical riot act, and told to pull their socks up; and if that doesn't work the front door is pointed out to them.
I've been in pseudo-supervisory roles in several jobs, and found that this tactic often works really well - first nicey, nicey; second, the riot act; thirdly tell them where the door is!

It's good that these things are being highlighted, but I wonder just how many of Coventry's inhabitants know about this maladministration?

Sadly, Coventry citizens will continue getting this, until they collectively get off their backsides and do something about this rotten to the core council. The local population needs to take an active interest in what goes on around them and needs to be bothered to turn out at local elections.

Another fine example of how badly Coventry's social services are run: [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-30809867[/url]
