The culture of defensiveness did little to aid inter-agency relations when assessing the risk that Peter was facing, particularly during his brief removal from his mother. And it got no better after he died, with Haringey dragging its feet in disclosing information relevant to the police inquiry. If indeed the best staff have now lost their jobs, what does that say about those who remain at Haringey? In the rush to purge the borough of those involved in the Baby P case, has the level of child protection competence been lowered?

She says her father, who had been raised in an orphanage, was an army man who beat her regularly and that, when she was nine, she was sexually molested by a relative. She ran away from home at 13 and, after a fight in which she stabbed a girl with a pair of scissors, she was placed in a convent home. "I was a raw young kid, no sense of direction. All I knew was violence," she recalls. "It was the convent or prostitution." Explore the little ones’ home and enjoy a wonderful day together. Take good care of your BABY born, dress them in cute outfits, and play with them.

Happily allowing her siblings to come and join in on the surprise doll action and loving the chance to wash the baby in the bath and watch its hair change colour. Win a BABY born Surprise Bottle Playset I didn't think much of him," says O'Connor, "and I still don't. But he was a good provider. She had everything within reason. He did three shifts and he cooked, cleaned and washed her clothes. He even gave her a lovely home, even though she got it through the council. And he wasn't violent or anything like that." A thin, hollowed-out woman, O'Connor is 59, but looks a decade older. She has led, as she says, "a hard, hard life". Born in Ireland, she was four days old when her mother died. Her father remarried and her stepmother died when she was five. "My father and I never connected," she says. "He was so frightening I used to wet myself. The only time we ever connected was when he was drunk." It's a troubling sequence of mistaken names, Freudian slips of a most unfortunate nature. O'Connor says she wasn't sure which man was the father, but that Cox took against the baby, calling her a "bastard". When the girl was 18 months old, O'Connor left her husband and son and took her daughter with her to London. According to Connelly, she didn't find out who her real father was until she was 12, at which point, she said in court, "it sent me wild for a while".

To him," explains a police officer in the case, "they were his property." Children, in Owen's mind, were possessions, something you had rather than nurtured. The ease with which people have children and the difficulty they have in looking after them is a recurring theme in stories of social breakdown. It is a symptom of a radically foreshortened perspective, in which future consequences seldom impinge on choices and actions in the present. If that did not mark them out as conspicuous to those around them, no doubt the ethnic difference was noted by the two men, Steven Barker and his brother Jason Owen. Owen had been a member of the National Front; Barker was obsessed with Nazis.In Haringey, almost everywhere you go, even on the buses, there are adverts calling for foster parents. But, as far as the social worker is concerned, many of those who respond should be motivated by something deeper and older than money. "We now pay grandparents, aunts and uncles foster care allowances to look after their family, which is just crazy. It's really sad when we have family members coming forward saying: 'I'll look after the child if you give me money.' It's tragic, but because of the obsession of keeping families together, we are pressurised into supporting these kinship placements, which often just continue the dysfunction."
