Rage.

I am not sure if it is the fact I am now the mother of a young baby boy or I am emotionally not very strong at the moment, but undoubtably like every other parent out there, the tragic death of Baby P has horrified me beyond words. I have shed a tear while feeding my son in the early morning hours when my thoughts morbidly turned to the lonely death that the little boy had in his cot.

Like any I cannot fathom how anyone would treat an animal far less their own flesh and blood like this and I feel powerless and furious at the same time over this tragedy.

I truly wish the mother and step father/boyfriends a painful slow death, not unsimilar to that of baby P, but my true rage lies at the catalogue of incompetence by the social work and GP's that were meant to protect this child.

As an employee of a bank, I have personal responsibilty to ensure I follow the laws and guidelines set by the FSA and within the banking code. If I don't do my job and break the rules, I personally could be charged and end up with a heafty fine and criminal record. These people have a duty and responsibility with greater reasons. I know socail workers are overworked and the national services are under strain, but how a GP can miss a broken back, bite marks and missing finger tips is nothing short of unbeleivable. If I had my way, that individual would be serving time in prison along with the parents.

RIP, Baby P, a nation mourns your short life. X
