Unfortunately many cases like this do slip through the net. Social services are stretched everywhere. I’m reminded of that young girl whose death was ruled as suicide, but its clear that the stepfather was abusive. She was failed in a lot of ways. And I think this will be similar.
That's true, too many slip through the net. I don't recall that case but I don't doubt she was let down. A friend of mines gp refered her to children's services after she went to see them regarding her depression. She didnt agree with it as her kids have never been in danger or neglected under her care. One year later and she's still awaiting them arriving, for all they know she could be beating her kids and worse, which of course shes not ! But they don't know that.
