Peter Connelly
Someone from the link above, took the effort to piece together the story and updates regarding Baby P, the child who died mercilessly at the hands of his mother's boyfriend of less than a year, under watchful eyes. So do take a look at the site.
So, we've seen how people can cry over men's brutality to animals...what more to little babies who never got the chance to learn to speak, or discover what lies beyond his youth - babies made out of the same flesh and blood as we are.
And the law still protects these heartless abusers by wanting to hide their identities and banning photos of them to be released to the public (The ban has since been lifted). And having lawyers defending and appealing for the couple along with their accomplice. How would you react in the face of such evil? And how could a baby react at all? It saddens me that mere words could not bring a dead child back - but at the very least, please try to save more kids from having a fate like Baby Peter. Be more observant of anything suspicious that is going on in your neighbourhood. Do not just keep 'watching' like the Social Services in charge of Baby P (who got sacked) and actually DO something before the worst happens. After all, what does a baby know about right and wrong, and what can he say when he doesn't even know how to speak? Who else does he have when his own caretakers are not what they ought to be? He only has us to depend on, to remain vigilant, to be his voice.
