    Just watching sky news. Tracey Connolly, the mother of baby p, will soon be released. She was jailed indefinitely in May 2009 with a minimum detention of 5 years.

    I remember having to study this story in Sociology class when it happened years ago...it was one of the things that made me think I definitely couldn't hack being a social worker


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,072 ✭✭✭✭wp_rathead


    Baby P was a 17-month-old British boy who died in London after suffering more than fifty injuries over an eight-month period, during which he was repeatedly seen by Haringey Children's services and NHS health professionals. Baby P's real first name was revealed as "Peter" on the conclusion of a subsequent trial of Peter's mother's boyfriend on a charge of raping a two-year-old.

    Mind boggles

    Let's see how long it takes her to get pregnant again.

    I hope social workers make damn sure they never allow another child in her care ever again.

    Surely she wouldn't be allowed have a child in her care again after that

    The final act in the death of that child, was to be punched in the face whilst he lay in his cot. A tooth was found in his digestive tract.

    The three individuals should be locked up for a long time.

    it's a joke.

    while it is inevitable there prob will be couple them type of posts, it is easy understand why people are disgusted that the person responsible for this baby's death is due to be getting out in less than 5 years

    Apparently she's 23 stone now

    what the **** were they feeding her in there?

    Haringay Council has over the past 30 years been consistently voted near the bottom of all rankings performance wise.
    Towards the eastern side it should prompt new investigation into a social miasmatic theory.

    Bernie Grant still has his following .......... like the lady below:

    Interviewed for a video, Haringey Mayor, Cllr Sheila Peacock is shown saying that:

    "The second riots that we’ve just had was the best thing that’s happened in Tottenham for a while. My reason for saying that is, all of a sudden, the Government is now starting to pump money into Tottenham. Because Tottenham - Haringey is an outer London Borough so we don't get as much money as Islington or Hackney. And we've been struggling for years."

    No, BEFORE she gets out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 213 ✭✭meemeemee


    This woman is a danger. She was housed as a single mother. She moved a man who was not the childs father into her home. As I understand it, she then allowed his 36 year old brother, who was either a known sex offender or known pedophile to move in with them. When Baby P died, this man fled with his 15 year old girlfriend.

    The whole case was sickening beyond belief

    Thats an elevated philosophy.

    I can't think of any justice system that operates like that, either way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,448 ✭✭✭crockholm


    If she has indeed topped the scales at 23 stone,300+ pounds,150 kg-her body probably won't be able to concieve and the number of men either willing or indeed able will be like hens teeth.

    Whatever about OH's comments earlier-I believe she deserves to be in prison for longer than that-don't try to tarnish everyone who disagrees with the leniency of the sentance as a DM rent-a-mob

    I just don't understand why A)she wasn't sentenced for longer than 5 years and B) why she didn't even complete her 5 year sentence...am I missing something? Someone like her does not belong in society, I can't think of one contribution she could possibly make.

    Let's be franky, Wily. Since you and I first clashed, you don't like me commenting on anything that goes against your way of thinking.

    Humanity is sick and thus so is the baying mob. One has to counter that way of discourse.

    I have no shame at all in being in the hang 'em high camp for crime like this.
    In fact I'd be at the forefront of the rabble calling for blood.
    Some crimes are too far out there for redemption and this is one.

    This was long term torture of a defenceless child - it deserves a death penalty or locking up for life.

    Its actually just over 6 years as time in custodial remand pre-trial counts as part of the sentence. The child died in 2007.
    btw I'm not defending the sentence, merely pointing out the parole board have followed it.

    Because the British Justice system is F**ked Up.

    Jason Owen, the "boyfriend's" brother ( and one totally sick b@stard )was releases on parole after serving only three years.

    He has since been re-arrested and jailed.

    Is anyone surprised ?

    WTF were they thinking letting him out.

    The other guy, Stephen Barker, as well as serving time for Baby P, is serving a sentence for raping a 2 year old girl.

    Oh, I don't know. The things you see at the Jeremy Kyle section of society have to be seen to be believed.

    One thing is for sure. She is a "catch" for a peado. She is an enabler.

    There will be trouble ahead ...

    I don't know. Feel fairly sick at the thoughts of her being free. Her boy murdered and she gets 5 years for allowing it to happen. 5 little years. And yes I do believe it would be good if she could be sterilised. She should never have a chance of being a 'mother' again the sick b!tch.

    Could not have said it better myself!

    Maybe people that dont have kids do not fully understand the anger of those that do.

    I have two a boy and a girl under 3 and if anybody hurt them I would pay them back 100 fold.

    NOTHING makes my blood boil more than the ever increasing violence towards children and the lack of punishment to those that commit the offenses.

    Then there are the Pc brigade out there that think people should not get angry.

    I don't think that only a parent can understand how horrific this crime is. I don't have kids but the thought of someone hurting any child much less torturing them makes me sick to the stomach.
    Its a bit much to think that if you don't have children then you wouldn't understand.
    I have nieces and nephews who I would protect with the last breath left in my body.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 213 ✭✭meemeemee


    It's not just the sickening abuse that child endured.

    It is the fact that one person he loved and trusted, the one person he looked to for hugs and affection, betrayed him. Despite the abuse that child suffered, he still offered that evil b!tch the sort of wholly innocent, unconditional love and affection only a 17 month old child can.

    And she betrayed that love for a paedophile.

    Even in his last moments of pain and misery I bet he would have offered that evil thing his love.

    I'm with the sterilization gang. Sorry.

    I understand where you are coming from but when you have kids the love you have for them is like nothing you have ever felt before.

    They turn you in mush over night.:D

    If/when you yourself have kids you too will see what im trying to say.

    Any other parents agree or am I just a big softy?

    She had a kid. Didn't do much for her.

    I don't think you need to have children to feel empathy for this poor little man.

    I have a baby and I don't feel more outraged by child abuse now then when I did before. I don't think you need to have kids to see how awful this case was (and similar cases are)

    It does scare me a lot more than before though because it makes me think of all the awful things that could happen to my boy. You can worry yourself into knots :( it does make you just want to pick up your kids and make them and you feel safe I think.

    This is true, and unfortunately that anger can blind us to the rationale behind a sentencing policy which allows this woman to be released after just 5 years (somebody has already pointed out she has served almost 6 years when the pre-trial custody period is taken into account).

    A system of justice which does not allow for redemption after the punishment is an unjust system, and contrary to popular belief there is no evidence that it discourages crime, but rather it encourages the idea that once you've broken the law, you should just keep on breaking it, since you're going to be hung (or incarcerated for life) anyway. The sentence of 5 years does seem light, I agree, but then I was not at the trial and I don't have all of the evidence.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,400 ✭✭✭lukesmom


    I think it's pretty stupid and not to mention patronising to use the 'ah you don't have kids so don't fully understand ' rubbish . Humans have protective instincts towards the very young. It's basic stuff and you don't need to have kids of your own to understand. I was 12 when Jamie bulger was snatched and murdered and I remember being horrified and sick to the pit of my stomach.

    If there was ever a case for forced sterilisation this is it. Sickening to think what that poor child got put through and she's being released after a short amount of time.

    5 years is nothing though for torturing a small child. You'd get more for tax evasion or fraud. That woman should be locked up in a asylum for the criminally insane for good not let back out into society.

    Redemption? Don't make me laugh. What mercy did they show to that poor little soul, absolutely none. Why should society show them mercy.

    Please read exactly what I said.

    I did not ever say "ah you dont have kids so dont fully understand".

    What part of my saying anything ive said points at me being stupid and/patronising?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 213 ✭✭meemeemee


    Please. A dead innocent 17 month old. Abused by his mother and 2 paedophiles. She managed to get a larger house (on benefits of course) to home all of them, including one of the paedo's under age runaway girlfriend.

    This woman is frankly too stoopid to be discouraged from doing anything. She is a danger to herself and to any offspring.

    She has probably not learned her lesson. She probably has too low an IQ. She was a drain on society, and once released will continue to be a drain on society. The difference being it would probably be cheaper to keep her institutionalised. She has contributed nothing to society and never will.

    At least while she is inside there was less likelyhood of her causing more trouble and work for social workers. Not that they made a blind bit of difference to that poor child.

    One of the paedophiles who killed Baby P, Jason Owen, was similarly released early, having been judge to be "no longer a danger". He offended pretty soon after. In the case of male paedophiles, I am afraid there is not a cure, and these two brothers should not be roaming the streets.
