They've placed the 21 year old Mother under the mental health act for the stabbing to death of her 3 month old baby boy, and her 2 year old baby boy.
This is truly tragic, and seems that Social services were aware that there were potential problems, and no care order or protection order was placed on either of these children.
They are now having an emergency investigation into this to see if anybody was at fault here.
I've just seen the news report on tv of these lovely children, and it's truly heartbreaking.

Sounds to me that they let the kids down by not getting a writ of protection on them. The fact that the mother had numerous addresses should have been a clue that these kids were not getting the care they needed. I have to place some blame on social services here. I do hope that the mother of these kids spends a long, long time in prison able to reflect on what she did to these two.
I think that someone is going to be in trouble...it's just emerged today that the Social services allegedly knew that the mother had tried to abandon her 2 year old son TWICE, and still no-one acted on it!
Very worrying and tragic case.
