18-year-old woman charged with death of baby
All those "lessons to be learned" from other cases going back over many years appear to have been disregarded again. I am sure that from this latest case, the facts will be examined (again) and the subsequent enquiry will report (again) that many factors were missed and that lessons will be learned (again). An appalling catalogue of failures in the Health Services, the Social services, the police and other bodies have plagued our society for far too long. It may well be that "the systems" contribute to the failures, but the systems are designed and operated by real people who frequently hide behind the excuse of systems failures for their own incompetence. Where people fail they should be removed from their positions, and not allowed to avoid their responsibilities with an apology and the cliche of lessons will be learned.
