doing nothing has led to a 4yr old being tortured and starved for it appears at least 6 months, and then murdered

kids are off school for 12+weeks a year, it should be compulsory every year that teachers are trained to spot and act on child abuse.

there needs to be a procedure to protect children, someone needs to take charge and be responsible to stop this happening again and again.

maybe the child's GP should be responsible, if the teacher or school are concerned they can contact the child's GP and they can go and see the child in school.

the 3 missed appointment should have alerted the GP, they should have access to the parents medical and police records,after 1 missed appointment the GP and social services\police should go and visit the child at home and take no and not leave til they have seen the child.
