Cruel World
Read this first
•Eight broken ribs and a broken back, with another area of bleeding around the spine at neck level.
•Numerous bruises, cuts and abrasions, including a deep tear to his left ear lobe, which had been pulled away from his head.
•Severe lacerations to the top of his head, including a large gouge which could have been caused by a dog bite.
•Blackened finger- and toenails, with several nails missing; the middle finger of his right hand was without a nail and its tip was also missing, as if it had been sliced off.
•A tear to his fraenulum, the strip of skin between the middle of the upper lip and the gum, which had partially healed.
•One of his front teeth had also been knocked out and was found in his colon. He had swallowed it.
These describe the injuries suffered by a 17 month old baby P that eventually led to his death by his Mum and her boyfriend. This could’ve been avoided many times as he was visited 60 times in 8 months by social workers, police and health professionals; so why didn’t they put a stop to this?
This really has broken my heart; the poor little boy needed love and security. What sort of sick-minded individuals would do this to a child? I can’t begin to imagine the pain he must’ve felt. I look at my daughter and can’t begin to describe what I would do to someone if they even tried something like that.
Everyone in his short and tragic life has failed him. We must intervene as a society when we are concerned that “something isn’t right”. Family, friends, neighbours, we should make it our duty to protect the vulnerable and confront the perpetrators of any form of abuse.
As for the perpetrators, why is their even a trial? An eye for an eye I say...
Rest in peace baby P, my thoughts are with you...

oh god..this brought tears to my eyes. I will never, ever understand how a 'person' can lose all sight of normalcy... and stoop so low- lower than even animals whose sense of dignity and morality is innate.
I'm sure Allah SWT ended the poor baby's suffering so he didn't feel all of that.
