Not all stepfathers are cruel, but cases like this often seem to involve a controlling stepfather. This little boy was known to the police and the social services and teachers had noticed bruises, but, yet again, a child in danger was missed. The Social Services need a complete overhaul. They leave children with dangerous parents and yet cause distress to so many other families by removing children who, apparently, are not in danger. I suppose we armchair social workers think it's easy, but it must be so difficult to decide what to do, in certain cases. Perhaps the criteria for the removal of a child are all wrong.
As to this couple, they should be deported back to their own country to serve their sentence, rather than here, at the taxpayers' expense.
I really don't know who gave you that info but its Crap
my question would be where were the authorities while this was going on why were the teachers not informing the social services he was picking up food from the playground for gods sake did that not start bells ringing
and now another investigation .so how many of these do we need to have to tell us somebody has not done their job again
These child cruelty cases are almost monthly now, if he was scrapping for food at school, what were the imbecile teachers doing about it? Nothing?
Ahem. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-23349527
Lovely way to take a cheap shot at a profession on the back of such a tragedy though.

where have all the guardian readers gone?
Got the inside knowledge have we? My wife is a teacher and has to deal with "social" problems on a daily basis in her school, which happens to be on a large council estate. I will inform her that she is an imbecile when she next has to help an unfortunate child with family problems in her class - oh, of course, she does nothing according to you so she'll feel so much better reading your considered opinion.Anything other than natural life behind bars and they have got off lightly.
Of course, the death penalty is most appropriate, after 2 years with daily beatings. Sadly that option is not available.

Both just been handed life sentences.

"
The mother of Daniel Pelka and her partner have both been given life sentences.
Magdelena Luczak and Mariusz Krezolek were convicted of four-year-old Daniel's murder at Birmingham Crown Court on Wednesday.
Mrs Justice Cox said the sentence reflected the '"incomprehensible brutality by both of you up to his death".
Luczak, 27, and Krezolek, 34, had denied murder and blamed each other.
The judge told the pair they had "caused [Daniel] severe physical and mental suffering".
'Designed to humiliate'
"We will never know exactly what form it took because you have not explained it - he must have been absolutely terrified," she added.
Mrs Justice Cox said the two had killed Daniel with a "campaign of cruelty".
"Complicity in ill treatment started with a broken arm when he was just three and a half.
"What was handed out to Daniel was incomprehensible brutality by both of you," she told the pair.
Daniel's punishments were "designed to humiliate", the judge said, and he was "a victim of chronic and systematic starvation".
As Nibble alludes, you're clearly a bit of a fückwitt.where have all the guardian readers gone?
Oh, we're here son. trust me, you are concentrating on the wrong issue you nitwit. A boy is starved and beaten to death and all your tiny little mind can produce is a dig at liberals. Idiot. Grow up.
Some of the older members of this forum may remember the tragic case of Maria Colwell, from Whitehawk, who was beaten and starved until she died.
That was in 1973, and I can remember reading " This must not happen again". 40 years on and it's still happening.
RIP Daniel Pelka, Baby P, Victoria Climbie and all the other victims of child neglect and abuse.
bring back the death penalty
