Commenting on the sentencing of Baby Peter’s mother, her partner and Jason Owen, Lynne Featherstone, MP for Hornsey and Wood Green, said:
“The guilty have at last been punished, but we still cannot rest until we fully understand how this poor little boy suffered so terribly, and for so long, under the noses of Haringey’s Children’s Services.”
Commenting on the publication of the second Serious Case Review into the death of Baby Peter, Lynne Featherstone MP adds:
“The first Serious Case Review either showed clear incompetence or was a cover-up. This one could not be more different from the first. It says exactly what we should have learnt at the start of this awful tragedy – Haringey Council, health professionals and the police all failed to protect Baby Peter from three individuals who set out to harm him.
“Seven months after light was shed on these failures the focus on children’s safety must never drift again.”
Cllr Gail Engert, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Children and Young People, adds:
“Services need to continue to be kept under close scrutiny to ensure the huge improvements required are being made. We will continue to push for a dedicated council committee to scrutinise Children’s Services to fulfil this gap.”

I just want to know what is really being done so this does not happen to another chld, we really need to protect our children and not the family, its great when the 2 go together but since that does not always happen we need to put the interest and protection of the child first. I still think about this little boy and wonder why he was not with his father instead of being left in his mother’s care as she had been abusing him whether she did it or the boyfriend did it, she was the one responsible for his care and protection. We need more fathers to be involved with their children and the courts to allow them to be involved. Please don’t let this happen to another child, all children deserve love and safety.
