What didn't this poor little lad endure? These people who called themselves his parents must have been very disturbed! Should definitely serve life with no early release
It's the most heartbreaking case of child abuse I've ever followed. And there seems to be no reason for it as when he started the school six months before his death he seemed normal and 'plump', slowly withdrawing into himself and becoming emaciated in the period leading to his death. Brings tears to my eyes every time I see his little face. R.I.P. Daniel. Prisoners don't take kindly to child abusers behind bars. And while I know two wrongs don't make a right I hope they get what they deserve.
Just heard details about the case on 5 live on my way home from work. It's left me sick. A defenceless boy tortured by the people he loved. I hope a fellow lag in whatever jail they go to holds their heads under the water....till they die
Poor poor boy! What a dreadful short life he must have endured at the hands of his so called parents (albeit the male was his mums partner, and not his biological father).
I hope they get life, and made to serve life! Ideally in squaller like conditions, but that's unlikely with British prisons.
Here's hoping in mates get wind of what they done and give them a proper prison treatment.
I don't condone violence but when people commit crimes of this nature, especially towards such a young, fragile, vulnerable child, they deserve all they get when behind bars!
Its heart breaking to hear what he went through. The people who put him through it are vile, utter scum who deserve evrything they will undoubtedly get when they are locked up. What ever is coming their way in prison I just hope it is agonising and utterly painful.
As I have said earlier on this thread, how many people, possibly within the Polish community, may have suspected something was going on but for whatever reason said nothing. We all have a duty when it comes to child protection. No one has the option to look the other way.
and lets hope that the time they have left.. is as tortuous as the time this poor little fella had on earth.. I wish them a slow, painful and humiliating existence... and an equally slow and miserable death.
I'm all in favour of corporal punishment and an eye for an eye.. but on this occasion let them rot in hell.
The whole thing makes me feel sick to the stomach! I do think Social Services have a difficult job, but agree more could (and should) have been done to protect him from this abuse.
Then again, there have been far too many high-profile cases in recent years of this kind of thing, and each one is followed by a 'review'. I think that in itself shows its difficult for every family to be checked on.
Yet local authorities have services cut year on year!
Maybe the Government need to take a good hard look at these cases and ensure that any cuts do not infringe child protection.
Anyone know whereabouts in Coventry these bastards lived? Anyone know them? The house should be pulled down. Who would want to live there now? I couldn't.
