well its about time soical services started doing the job insted of nit pickin at silly things. this poor baby suffered so much pain and never knew what it was like to have a loving family. the people envolved in this case should be ashamed of them selves and i hope they get wat they desersve!!!!!!!

faye, Leeds, west yorks

hannah.d, hartlepool, england

i had to visit this wee boys resting place when in London only there for two nights but visited the place pitch black at night didn't know where he was but found him and put a card and teddy for the poor wee soul. He will always be remembered by my family and has touched our hearts forever.

Danny Fisher, Helensburgh, Scotland

I think that Baby P didn't deserved to be brutley hit and punch just for a laugh .. I am sure that no-one would like this to EVER happen again. I think that the Mother and Step Father shouldn't deseve a beutiful, young, innocent baby !!!!

Summer, Birmingham , England

I think it i sad that a boy can die as a result from the negligence and abuse from his own mother.. Children usually feels that their mother is the safest person to be with but if you can't depend on your own mum who can he depend on?? I hope there won't be any repeats of this kind of cases again.

Nirda, Singapore,

the cruelty that baby P suffered at the hands of his mother and partner will happen to numerous children if society doesn't put a stop to it and the services who are supposed to intervene do just that.

Linda S, glasgow, uk

my friend who was concerned that her grandchildren were in danger of physical/sexual abuse was told by social services and child protection that unless the babies could be explicit that it could not help, the social worker told her that it wasn't her job to protect them.

Linda S, Glasgow, UK

This story sickened me to the stomach. Being a mother myself, I can not begin to understand how anyone can think that hurting a child is ok. At least you are safe now where nonone will ever hurt you again. Rest well little angel.

Sarah, Derby, Nottingham

omg that is soooooooooo sad how could his mother not care about him? he is only 17 month old!!!!

baby p if you would have been in my family everyone would have loved you to bits!!

and you don't need to be scared now as you are somewhere save where no one can get you

jennifer, rom, italy

Once more Haringey Social Services has shown us all that things are not working in an England in the 21st century.Did no one notice the things going on in the flat next door or are we to wrapped in our own lives to see what is going on around us, that a beautiful 17 month old boy should die this way

Pamela , Pescara, Italy

This is so sad to have this happen in this day and age to a lovely boy who had so much to offer even a smile with a broken back and 8 broken ribs i would have loved this boy like he was my own and cared for him. RIP baby P you will always have a place in my heart and will never be forgotten

charlotte, middlasbrough, uk

What a sad day. Let this be a lesson to us all. Let's not be apathetic. If you are suspicious, call someone, intervene if necessary but never, ever let this outrageous state of affairs happen again. God bless you baby P. You're at peace now beautiful boy!

Jan , Manchester, Cheshire

WHY?
I cant find answers. why? Why did this happen to you, little boy.
What did you ever do to deserve this..?
I dont understand..and its ripping me apart.

Only comfort is that you are in a better place now, and i pray you feel the love people around the world have for you.
RIP little darling

Tania, Watford,

OMG how could anyone do this? That poor little kid, im never going to get over the shock i don't think. If Baby P were in my family he would be loved and cared for, RIP little baby your in a good place now, nobody can hurt you anymore thank god.

Simia, Nottingham, England

wow poor baby p you were such a cute baby im 14 and if you were apart of my family i would play with you and take you to the park but never ever hurt you or any other person because you dont deserve that but rest in peace baby p your in a good place now.

christena, port alberni, canada

I was devastated when i read about this!!!! I seriously do not understand how nobody realised the danger baby p was in!!!!!!!!!!!!! How the hell could a doctor miss 8 broken ribs and a broken back? everyone involved should be sacked n i hope they can live with the guilt because it is their fault!!!!

Natalie, Thornton, UK

I hope Gordon brown and Tony blair sleep well at night now knowing that this little jewel of a boy died under the new labour system, I hope all involved suffer with guilt for the rest of their lives

Phil, Brighton,

Baby P, I would have loved and cared for you. You would have never shed a tear, felt pain, fear or been alone.
God forgive those involved in your murder,because I never will!!

Donna, london, uk

I have just received a reply by the Director of Haringey social services after I made a complaint against their council for their failures to protect Baby P.
In it they say they are very sorry for his death and have included the new Ofsted inspection report. It is, as Ed Balls said, very critical.

Sharon Zurybida, Bradley Stoke, UK

Sack EVERY SINGLE person involved in his death. The system is such a joke people aren't even afraid of it anymore! this should be a wake up call to the country to say we need to do more! rest in peace little man. xxxxxx

Caleigh, London, england

MONSTERS! The "people" who did this and the people who had the chance to intervene--whose JOB it was to intervene--and did nothing.

Sadly, the ones who would have helped this baby are hurting and the ones who could have are hiding behind technicalities and doubtless feeling no shame.

Ann, Chicago, USA

I wonder why so many people are sheltering under the legal umbrella of not having their names published, what is the reason for it?

Hilary Mee, SUTTON ON SEA, Lincfs

i have till now not wanted to read this story of this poor little boy but i have made myself so baby p story is told why are these children slipping through the net ???? why are people getting away with being cruel i say bring back the death row.god bless little man rip with angels.xxxx

karina, andover, hampshire

I am so outraged. I feel such sorrow. I cannot stop the tears. I am also a mom of a little 8 month old angel and for the life of me I cannot comprehend the neglect and evil that is born into this world. Little baby P. I love you and may you sing, laugh, fly, cuddle, w/angels forever and ever.

Deborah, Miami, United States

I was acquainted with someone who worked for Haringey council 30 years ago. The perception was that a job there was a byword for lax practises. I see that little seems to have changed. We are so keen to be non-judgemental while all these children suffer. We should all hang our heads in shame.

Louise Leeks, Harwich, England

What ever happened to every child matters??
Haringey has yet again failed to protect an innocent child, when will Social Services learn, there so busy doing mountains of paper work that they always seem to skim through visits. Im shocked by that the docter did not pick up his injuries!!!

Leanor, London, England

since the story of baby P appeared on the news i have not stopped thinking about that poor little boy and what he had to endure! i cry everytime his name is mentioned anywhere. I have a little boy myself and i look at him and i think how someone could be so cruel to a child!

hannah james, bridgend, wales

having had dealings with social services myself i can see how this happened they are more concerned about their own safety we need social workers with backbone to protect these poor children from evil bullies .rest in peace angel i wont forget you sending you all my love and kisses

jacquie hindley, Newcastle under Lyme, staffordshire

I have 7 children and worship them all to bits. I am so angry that this has happened. I feel like i have lost one of my own children it has made me so depressed i cant stop thinking about that poor little soul.P lease if there is any justice make all of them scumbags suffer. The angels have Baby P x

jenny smith, chudleigh, devon

my nephew has just turned two a little bit older than baby p but i doesnt matter how old the are when i first heard about the suffering baby p had gne thro i had to run to the toilet because i was phiscally sick. i suffered a misscarriage last year so they should be lucky they had a beautifull baby!

joanne stanier, Abbey Hulton, stoke on trent

I am a mother of five children and also a child protection social worker. I am sadenned for this poor baby. Because of my job I am also aware that this child could have been on my caseload and feel very vulnerable. I spend aprox 70% of my time writing repedative forms, this need to be looked into.

Deborah Said, London, England

This is an absolutely devastating story, my little boy is the same age and it breaks my heart to think of anyone putting a child through what baby P has gone through. Shame on the professionals who let this happen and i hope the monsterous murderous individuals hang for what they did. RIP angel.x x

Natasha , Llanelli,

I can barely see my computer screen as tears roll down my face. Reading your story Baby P makes me hurt inside. If i could have you live here with me and my young son and daughter i would kiss you and hug you every day as i do to them. You are beautiful, live forever as one of heaven's angels. x

Amy, Harwich, UK

My eldest little boy is now 2 1/2, he was also born in March 06 and his brother is now 14 months old. Our precious angels completely dependant on us. I hope youve found peace, and that you are experiencing some love in your life, the love and cuddles your mummy should have been showering you with x

Kerry Pope, Plymouth, United Kingdom

It is so painful. i just cannot comprehend how something so cruel could happen to a beaufiful child like Baby P. I have a child of my own who is same age as baby P and I still thank god everyday for giving such a bundle of joy to us. And I pray that no child shall ever suffer such pain.

Jay, Birmingham, UK

My heart pains with such hurt that a beautiful child has left this (wicked) world, having endured such neglect and abuse. I wish you were mine. And when I look into the eyes of my twin boys who are the same age as you Sweet Baby P, I hug and kiss them and even cry thinking about you. Hugs & kissesx

Amrinder Takk, Gravesend, UK

Why do we have to share this planet with such horrible horrible sick people? How could this happen and why on earth did this have to happen? Why did this little baby have to endure all this? I am so horrified, there is no way i can sleep after reading this.

Berendina, Amstelveen, Holland

i am so distraught,i cant get his little face out of my mind.what i wouldnt do to see someone take him in their arms and give him the love he so deserved.

Lani Allen, Devon, England

I work for the police and make referrals to Social Services and other agencies regularly, I can't imagine how so much can be missed, by so many. Surely someone involved in this case is never going to forgive themselves for not acting on that gut instinct that we all have at times-make yourself heard

how can a mother b so cruel to her child .she is worst than animals. even animals never treat their kids like this.
the court should not take pity on her. and that case woker who saw the child 4 days ago, with bruises on his face covered with chocolate,was careles,she shud've informed authorities

sana, bradford,

Rest in Peace little boy, let the angels guide & protect you. You endured so much in your little time here, now its your time to grow & shine in a place that deserves you. You will always be in my mind.

Fiona Caffrey, Co Louth, Ireland

I could of never imagined for someone to treat their own child like this, this is really upseting and if only the caretakers were a bit more bothered about people. I think they should be charged too and for the parents to get death sentence THEY DISERVE IT.

Is it really a case of a child's life been taken before we all turn around and look at the truth? This is happening all the time!! Get real and deal with it!

Sarah Ruffell, marlow, Buckinghamshire

I've never heard something so disgusting in all my life. I have a one year old niece and every time I look at a picture of Baby P, I see her in him. It breaks my heart. How could some vile being do this to a small child? This is why for assembly in school were doing Human Rights. Rest in Peace.

Phil Dunne, Reading, England

people are always saying where are here to protect children, care for them and love them....... Then y did it lead to this little boy losing his life?? Its discusting he has never done anything wrong to hurt anyone. Rest in peace little man. Im glad your now safe xx

I hope to God they get what's coming to them.What did that poor child do to deserve such suffering. I would love to be locked in a room with them both and dish out the same level of abuse what they inflicted on this child.

Rest in Peace Baby P. You are safe now

Micky Diskin, Huddersfield, Yorkshire

How awful, poor child.

I'm a med. student at BSMS and today we discussed a similar topic. The interprofessional care teams of the NHS are usually effective at delivering quality care to these desperate cases, but this incident emphasises how the system can fail, and how important our roles are.

Victoria, Glossop, UK

I cannot stop thinking about you 'baby p', I would have done anything to take you away from the hell you lived in. You should have been cuddled and loved every moment of your short life. I am so sorry no one helped you, you were failed by everyone. You are free from evil now, rest in peace. xxx

We are asamed that a parent would abuse a beautiful baby boy for no reson, and we can't belive that the boyfriend would do those horrible things to baby P when it wasn't his baby. How can the mother just see her own child in pain.

There seems to be alot of innocent parents who are questioned by social services and put through such torment that families are broken and children are taken away when there is no justification; yet the real abusers walk free. How does this happen? It sickens me.

Sarah Smith, Southampton, England

how could any human being to this to a helpless, defencless innocent 17 month baby. i am out raged and disgusted at how these people involved, who are indeed supposed to protect this child could be so blind and ignorant not to notice this childs pain. DEATH penalty needs to be reintroduced.ASAP

Kirsty, Plymouth, england

Why are these horrific people allowed to remain anonamous.
They should not be protected,re-housed or given new identitys.
They should be put on show and their names given out so that they would never do it again,and if they were set upon then they deserve everything they get.

Linda Burton, Market Rasen, Lincs

the mother needs to be strung up as her boyfriend as well,and all involved in the case do...including the social services and doctors,and i think the police involved in letting the mother go after the first arrest....this woman should be sterlised NOW so she cant do this ever again..

linz, nottingham, nottingham

How are these monsters that murdered a little angel not named & shamed! How can 'people' out there be allowed to harm children in this way? It is disgusting to think how social services let him suffer when there are many loving homes who could have saved him from the torment he suffered! RIP babyP!

Mary, London,

I think this is an absolute disgrace. We should bring back the death penalty for situations such as this. We all know the people that have done this. So there is no room for mistaken identity. And don't start with al the 'it will affect they're human rights'. What about baby P's human rights.

jamie deluce, liverpool,

This makes me feel sick to my stomach and I cry every time I think of what that baby went through how he suffered to the hands of these monster who should receive the same torture they so enjoyed giving the baby, I pray they will receive torture from their inmates what they so deserve!!

Kerry, Ashton Under Lyne, Lancashire

yew'd this that a peditrition would spot the signs, i mean its onli their job after all!!

social services get called on people who actually care about their kid, on people who would rather die before anything happened to they child !! yet monsters like this get away with anything!!

Kiya, Portavogie, N.Ireland

Little baby P, I keep crying all the time, I wish I could have protected you from those vile people who should of cared & loved you. I will say a prayer for you every day and I will love you till the day I die. My heart breaks when I think of the pain you endured. You are safe now little one. XXX

Sarah Smith, Southampton, England

Well. thats the thing, that makes me feel sorry when they dont wanna apologise. at the end of the day the social services had the mission to protect him. its not as if baby P hadent been reported.
if they die under their care and dont apologise, then, what about the children not being supervised???

pat, sheffield,

well i think we are all forgetting the abusers. these horrible monsters should be kept behind bars not only for 14 years but life. imagine if they were out and tortured someone else. All the people from Haringey involved should be sacked without a doubt. How can anyone do this to this beautiful soul

Alvin Burton, bromley, england

I seem to remember that this has happened before. Remember Victoria Climbie? Well reccomendations were made at the time but nothing seems to have changed. The blame lies with the so called Mother but also with all the people who were supposed to protect him - GP's and Social Workers!!!

kayleigh, preston,

Will everybody stop stop calling her baby p`s mother,a true mother or father could not do to their children the horrendous things this poor child had to endure.Nobody mentions the father either i know they had seperated but did he not see the child,shame on all those that missed his suffering

How can youngsters trust adults if they see the head of social services carrying on her arrogant attitude without any sign of distress ?

francoise, london,

So the Saudi Arabian doctor involved here 'couldn't examine Baby P properly because he was miserable and cranky". Perhaps she herself might have been miserable and cranky with 8 broken ribs and a broken back. Did she never wonder WHY he was so miserable?

why should that scum be protected they dont deserve it that scum mother certauinly should be sterlised every t ime i see the news about that little boy i break down it would be hard not to i hope they gety to them in prison!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Baby P 's death should set an example for all those child abuser specially to sick parents. They shoud face toughest sentence ever given .Even animals dont harm their own children.I dont understand why gov. should spend so much money on their security and new identity to such sick develish people.

jyoti, London, UK

Surely she'd get MURDER for this and not child abuse. Still, this people should get min 20yrs then be put to death. Maybe subject them to the same treatment. I feel so sickened.

Rachel, sheffield, uk

The mother will be released in 3 years maximum. Released to have other children - she already has given birth to three children, all of whom have been neglected. She is not 'fit for purpose' and should be sterilised before her release. The 'Human Rights' of her children must take precedence.

Bill, Cobham, UK

I want to see justie for this little boy and all the other babies and children who have died at the hand of there parents. We need a system that works!! Our social services and goverment need a massive re-think and shake up. They need to protect the innocent. and its just not being done. R.I.P xxxx

ALL CHILDREN NEED PROTECTION and should RECEIVE IT!

Carol, Irvine , SCotland

What adds a ghastly horror to an already numbing tale is the sudden action as bureaucracy hurries to protect -- not Baby P, but Baby P's tormentor. It is too much -- NOW we hurry to protect, but not 17 months ago? Not a baby, but the baby's devil.

steve, cardiff, south glamorgan

why were they not charged with murder, they systematically abused that poor baby all his life.
please tell me why!!!!!!!! i dont understand were these solicitors, judges etc get to this lesser charge.
what is this society coming to when we can just say a murder of a small child is not murder !!!

Mary-Ann Nicolson, Worksop, Notts

Any person who was supposedly looking out for baby p should no longer have there job!! they failed miserably for him with so much proof what cahnce do other children have with people like them looking out for them, 1 childs death should be enough, they should have the respect to resign NOW!!!!! RIP

Leanne w, Walsall, england

baby p had the right to a happy childhood but yet instead of this and being suppposedly LOOKED after by social services, police and doctors he died a cruel lonely death these people should resign as they were incompetent in baby ps case, obviously they cant be trusted to help other vulnerable kids

Leanne w, Walsall, england

though you may be far away in are hearts you will always stay though your eyes you should have seen the love that should of been you will get justice. sleep tight sweet dreams you will never be forgetten covered in angle wings & now you can play with different things good bless you baby p. xxxxxxxxx

donna smith, tunbridge wells , kent

I have always been against the death penalty but I now believe that this should be brought back for deaths or murders against children. As a father of a 9 month old baby boy this is the most shocking thing I have ever heard. Thank God they can't hurt you any more sweet boy, we have all failed you.

Michael, London, UK

Chloe
If only you were right on this.
The problem is that no lessons will be learnt by the council and this will all have been in vain.

All those against the death penalty need to look at this case and tell me why they think it should not be brought back in.

RIP Little One

Dan Goodall, south shields, england

After reading dis i cant seem to hold back tears.im 19 years old and i have younger brothers and sisters. not ever would i want anything like this to happen to them.I curse the people who have dne dis to u baby P.

Chloe, Deal , kent

Beyond swearing, i have no other way of venting my anger with our governments policy of constantly following 'procedure'. When will a real human being be brought into the government to aid the social services with some sort of reform. This in unforgivable on so many levels. God Bless Baby P

Liam, London,

When will PEOPLE not policy start to protect our most vulnerable children!!! So many signs and opportunities lost to social services culture of indifference and arrogance! The Public need to stop crying for Baby P, and forcing PEOPLE to be made accountable and punished for their total incompitence

Marie Costello, Rossendale, Lancashire

No words could do justice for the sorrow I feel in my heart for Baby P and the short life he endured. God Bless x

Becky, Wolverhampton,

Precious Baby P, I have cried so many tears for you. I have a 22 month old son and when I look at him I cannot comprehend how those people entrusted to love and care for you could have let you down so badly. Sweet dreams beautiful boy. God bless xxxx

Justice to be done!!!!!!!!!!

Oli, Northants,

How can so many people fail to notice what this child was going through? When I hear of such a tradegy it makes me hold my own daughter much closer to me and thank God that she will never suffer the way this child did. Every person involved must be made accountable.

Kathy Hill, Barnstaple, United Kingdom

You little darlin, i have cried rivers for you, a little cherub that did not get your guardian angel to keep you safe, . I hope you are in the arms of angels and they get your gorgeous big blue eyes to sparkle again, you were a precious gift, that should have been loved and not to suffer wat u did

jen, Liverpool, England

I will pray for you every day baby p, you are a precious soul and may you blossom up in heaven, i only wish that the people who done this to you will get their punishment, it is not enough to send evil people like this to prison, where they get 3 meals a day, a warm bed,etc, they need to be tortured

sormeh nikourazm, stanmore, u.k

r.i.p baby p this should of never happened to you if social services done there job right the mother and father should go to prison for life for this ,why would they do this too you and the mother why you are so sick sick and yes this tragedy could of been stopped

sarah cooke, wigan, lancashire

Those responsible are the lowest of the low. Such cruelty on the most innocent of victims is sickening. A similar case has just ended here with 2 young men convicted of murder & the mother of the victim convicted of manslaughter. The tragedy is they couldve been prevented. Rest in peace little ones.

Fraser Robertson, Rotorua, New Zealand

i am a father of 2 boys one of which is 17 months old.He has blond hair and blue eyes just like baby p.Every night when i put my son to bed I think of that poor baby who suffered so much and knew no different.This story is the worst and most upsetting I have ever heard.
sleep in peace baby p

elliott, dudley,

I remeber reading the stories of Sylvia Likens and Victoria Climbie, hoping that changes had been made to stop these atrocities happening to innocent and helpless children, but i was wrong, and its discusting. How many other children are going through this?, desperate for help, only to be ignored.

Kelli Rayner, Spalding, Lincolnshire

I have cried many tears for Baby P. It's so sad that he wasn't loved and cherished in his short tragic life. Why oh why didn't someone save him. I wish I could have done something to help him. Rest in peace sweet baby xxx

Unimaginable Cruelty ...... :((((

Hardy, Sharjah, UAE

I'm a mum to an 11 month old and cry every day thinking about baby P. Nothing has ever upset me so much. I'm a social worker and will make sure this never happens to a child under my care - even if I have to remove the child myself and take it home. I kiss baby P's photo every day and promise this.x

kerry, hull, england

WHY?
To the Mum and step dad if you can call yourselves that, you deserve to live the rest of you life in pain.
To Baby P Sleep peacefully beautiful sweet boy and know that they cannot hurt you anymore.
To all who could have saved him but didn't hope you can sleep well at night.

amanda, london, england

why does it always take the death of an innocent child before anything is done, that poor darling baby suffered beyond belief, how can we trust the "authorities" with our children if they can let this happen.god bless u baby.

mrs sam petty, colne, lancashire

I didn't know you baby p but what I do know is that my heart breaks each time I look into your ever trusting, beautiful blue eyes.
You are far from the evil that reigned in your innocent, short life but you will remain in the memories of many across this country.
Rest in peace little one.

Anne Margaret Poole, Glasgow, Scotland

I am a catholic my question is where were you "god when this was happening" did you not see he needed you why did you allow him to suffer so much. Jesus your son suffered for three days and nights and you took him.Baby peter suffered horrendously for 17 months.Why dear lord did you not help him.

maureen, galway, ireland

natalie, south shields, england

How disgusting is it, that yet another child is tortured until it is found dead, and what about the others that are going through the same torture at this moment in time.

When will something be done to stop this ever happening again?. SORRY is not good enough.

Mrs A Avery, Tong, Yorkshire

Why are these parents given the right to know when a social worker will be calling to visit, if their child is at risk it should be treated as such, and un-announced visits should be made. If they have nothing to hide why would they mind.
And why did the child minder not take him to the police.

Mrs A Avery, Tong, Yorkshire

This horrific story haunts me. I have a 12 month old son and now when I look at him smiling and having fun, I just can't help thinking of the pain and suffering the innocent little boy was put through. The saddest part to this story is that this is happening across the country to many children

Claire, Bristol,

Absolutely tragic. It's hard to read this stuff without feeling physically sick. Those responsible should get life in prison with no possibility of early release. The so called social workers and other morons at the Council should all be fired and black-listed from working with children.

ray french, Douglas, Isle of Man

now you may be in peace, where no one can hurt u, u were a cute precious baby, and u should have been able to see the world, now theangels will take care of u, prest in peace u little prince xxx

poor little man. i cant believe anyone has had to suffer so much in such a short time... its an outrage. sweet dreams x

sarah cooke, wigan, lancashire

This is such a tragic story of a beautiful baby boy, i can't imagine how anyone could do anything like this. Why is it that the mum and boyfriend get protected 'for legal reasons', what legal reason? They don't deserve to be protected like this after what they've done.

R.I.P. Baby P. xx

Kathryn, Leeds,

My thoughts are with you little man.
You are free now, free from suffering.
Rest in peace Baby P. xxx

Miss Hands, Whitchurch, UK

Professionals??? how dare they call themselves that. im not 1 bit qualified to call my self a proffessional but if i was involved in that family i would have protected you Baby P and cuddled you in my arms untill it was all over no matter what the consiquences. I hope your at peace! xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Tanya, harlow, england

I can't stop crying and feeling down and devastated over this story, nothing has ever got to me like this. I look at that picture and want to pick him up and hug him, but the empty feeling of despair knowing he cannot ever be saved and the fear there may be no heaven is too much to bear.

Ed, Liverpool,

I have cried and cried since hearing the sad story of baby P. I have a 16 month blue eyed, fair haired son, and can't stop hugging him. I can not believe that no one saved this gorgeous boy from these vile people. They should face the death penalty. RIP baby boy xxx

Helen, Chingford, London

Rest in Peace Baby Peter.I am truly sorry for a society that let you down so badly. I have cried each day since hearing your story. Be happy in Heaven with all the toys you could ever want. Rest in Peace. They can't hurt you anymore.

michelle, dublin, ireland

I also cry for you everyday little Baby P. My son is 19 months and looks just like you. I play with him and think of you and the love that you deserved and never recieved. We love you so and will love you til the day we can be with you to play, laugh and show you gentleness and love forever.

Sheri, Prestwick, Scotland

I don't know what to say, but needed to say something, I am not religious so do not believe in heaven but I do believe you will live in my heart for ever more, everytime I look at my beautiful 15 month old daughter's face I see you and the potential you had if only you were loved as she is, RIP

good night sweet angel, no one can hurt you now, i wish i had known you and would have been able to take you away from your pain, you will always be in our thoughts, sweet dreams darling boy xx

sarah dawson-bannister, wolverhampton, west midlands

This beautiful little boy should not be forgotten. I think a memorial should be erected in the park where his ashes are scattered and where he used to play with other children. He deserves something from this world now as he got nothing during his time here.

John Barry, Ramsbottom, England

I have a sweet baby boy just like baby p, he is aged just 2 yrs and is loved and cherished. This breaks my heart. Why wasn't baby p loved and cherished? Why wasn't he saved? You are in our thoughts beautiful baby. Sleep peacefully xxx

john barry, Ramsbottom, England

i am so sorry that the only end to your tormented and tortured life came as a result of your death. you were let down by everyone who had a duty of care toward you. i too would have come and got you myself i have not slept a night since hearing the news. unbelievable

I cry day and night when i think of you baby P, I wish i could of saved you from the fear and misery you experanced in your wasted life. I would hold you close and tell you its okay. I kiss my son everynight , & i will kiss him twice for you. Bless you little sole XX

Rachael, Fishguard, Pembrokeshire

We can bail out the banks but we cannot provide social and welfare services with the funding they need to prevent this.

My heart goes out to you Baby P.

Let's hope that the right people are held responsible for this and not just the fall guys.

John, London, UK

It is disgusting that these thing can be missed when the poor babies injuries are so obvious. What also disgusts me is the many innocent ppl that the so called social sevices acuse all the time, some of these poor ppl have there children taken from them, i think its time to open your eyes!

yvonne, northants, uk

there are so many people who can not have children in this world who would make such loving.caring parents and to no that the system failed this beautiful,loving little boy is outragous. despite the mother having depression, its NO excuse! rest in peace Baby P - your with the angels now.xx

mrs sharon march, hastings, uk

I look at your picture baby p and I want to pick you up and hug you tell you it's going to be all right, but I can't. I'm so sorry that this world failed you. I wish I could bring you back and take care of you and give you the love you should have had. Sleep peacefully sweet baby xxx

John Barry, Ramsabottom, England

Why is the mother who allowed this to happen to her child having hairdressing treatment in prison?That woman might have suffered from depression but theres 1000's of people who suffer from depression etc no excuse for the evil treatment she allowed her son to endure I hope that she & others get life

GEMMA DOYLE , southport, uk

I am studying to become a nurse and am disgusted these so called "professionals" failed to notice the most blatent display of abuse imaginable. I am sick to death of health care professional's bowing down to the "tick box" and "meet targets" regime that we are all expected to follow.

jo, london, england

I dont want to even think about the suffering, that this littleboy went through.I have not been able to sleep since i knew about this.I feel this little boy has been let down by so many people. I would have come and got you myself, if i had known. Rest in peace,sorry it was to late. xxxxxxxx

Diane Witherford, Bilston, England

I am so horrified with what has come of this poor little boy, as a mother myself i can not comprehend how any human can inflict pain on another human of any age especially a child. This CAN NOT keep going on in our lifetime........it HAS to stop no-one should suffer from pain and cruelty in this way

Cherie Smith, Bury St Edmunds, England

I've been reading this at work and having to hold back the tears. May Allah bless you baby P, you're playing with the angels now, no more pain. Those responsible will be punished in this life and the next. Ameen.

Booth, bristol, UK

This is the worse thing i have ever read. it sickens me to know that this is happening where i live and i cant do nothing about it. the 3 that did this to him should face death. afew years in prison and they will be out, it makes me want to throw up. at least he isnt suffering now. RIP gorgeous x x

sarah, derbyshire, UK

Oh, for God's sake, Anna. Do we really have to analyse why the woman treated her child in this way? Would it make it any better if we discovered that she had been abused? Let's look at the facts. The mother was an adult capable of making a choice. She CHOSE to act with no responsibility. End of.

Joy P, London,

Why is this not a murder trial? Why are the names of the guilty being witheld from the public? Why don't social services ever take accountability for their (lack of) actions? Why does the Government find their excuses acceptable?

Doug Bates, St. Albans,

OK, not to detract from how awful all this is, lets not turn this into a 'how awful is england' debate. We are animals, and this is just proof of how little we've evolved, all things considered. What about what caused this woman to do this to her own child. What abuse had she suffered do we think?

anna, london, UK

I have no idea how everyone involved in this can even try to justify it. I understand that social workers have a large workload but if they cared enough to go into this occupation then you would think they would care enough to stop this poor child from suffering in the way he did. R.I.P. Baby P x

Lauren, Manchester, United Kingdom

its 2.30am another sleepless tearful night. I keep seeing the baby's face in my mind. He died alone and in agony. His ashes scattered in the wind, a few flowers, and cuddly toys are near, otherwise he may as well not have existed. Remember this when sentencing them to 10 yrs in a comfortable jail.

R Osbourne, Essex, UK

Blaming won't stop this happening again. What were the other responsibilities of the players mentioned in this article? Is it entirely their fault or were they ill equipped to handle this? For example, was their workload impossibly large? It would help explain why they were apparently negligent.

Nadia, Hamilton, Bermuda

gods beautifull children should be loved and cherished ........ i have a beautifull son who i love dearly ............ your safe now darling with the angles ........ no one can harm you ....... god bless .......

rebecca, bournemouth, dorset

THIS IS DISGUSTING...!!! The people who did this will have to answer oneday...Who gave them the right to do what they did.....
HOW CAN THE SOCIAL WORKERS TRY JUSTIFY THIS?? Have they got children of their own? How would they feel if it was one of their kids...
God Bless liddle man may U NOW RIP!!

Debbie, Johannesburg, South Africa

Well Baby P your with your true family now, and i know you must have a real smile on your face! Your suffering is finally over now. You were such a beautiful,happy baby, how anyone could treat you like that, i dont know! All my love Darling xx

Michelle Mckenna, Gravesend, England

Shoesmith should go. In a world where people get fired for reporting what the BNP would say viz a vis Boris Johnson's aide, how we let people get away with stuff like this happening on their watch. Company heads go even if there was little they could do to avoid incidents - why not here.

John, Knutsford, UK

Rest in Peace wee man.
you are safe now dancing with God's angels in heaven. the evil ones will get what is coming to them when they meet their maker.
you are so beautiful.

debbie, birmingham, england

My tears constantly fall, what a beautiful little boy, what an awful life and what a grim resting place. I have a 15 month old little man and as i place him to sleep in him warm cot of a night visions strike me of baby p being thrown in to his.
Rest in peace little man, you are loved now!

terri, kingston, surrey

Let us remember -
The police have Powers of Police Protection under s.46 of the Children Act 1989. If they had of been that concerned, they could have removed the child WITHOUT social workers.
Social workers are reliant on: Police Protection or the Courts to force the removal of a child.

Shaun, Stafford,

They always seem to put these things down to mental health problems . These people knew exactly what they were doing to this lovely little boy. He can rest in peace now no more pain.

Louise, Swadlincote,

and the social workers who covered this up should be sacked and jailed, just reading their pathetic notes is enough to make any mum realise how useless they are! Child care should only be performed by mothers, not people straight from uni, until this is changed nothing will alter

SHEILA, LETCHWORTH, eNGLAND

four years ago,on retirement i emigrated to spain, consequently, should i ever return to the uk i will not qualify for any social security benefits. its heartening to know that my 44 years of national insurance contributions are not being wasted but are being spent on the likes of baby P,s minders.

dave harris, malaga, españa

When i heard about baby P i could'nt hold back the tears. I'm a mother myself to a 20 month old little boy and he is my life. Baby p's so called mother will get what she deserves and those involved. i can't even imagine the pain the little tot was suffering. Your not in pain anymore little man R.I.P

Julia, Cardiff, Wales

i have no criminal record and am a decent hard working member of society,stories like this make me physically sick,when my kids started school 3 years ago,i offered to volounteer to work to help children in homes as i heard they were short of carers,i am still waiting for a reply 3 years on.

Its heartbreaking, and unimaginable, but hes with God now, thats the biggest comfort.

Lorna, merthyr, wales

Being a father of a 9 month old baby, watching her develop and grow with confidence and with a great deal of love. It beggars beilef that this poor child new no other quality of life other than that of pure unadultirated evil. Our authorites failed you,may god not .Sleep with the angels " P "

Callum, motherwell, Scotland

Every single person who had contact with that innocent boy and had the chance to save his life should be ashamed of themselves and should never be allowed to work with children again. How could you not notice broken ribs or believe that the child was capable of hurting himself so badly on his own?

Amz, Dartford, UK

this breaks my heart i look at my baby boy and think how could anybody hurt something so precious think of all those women out there who cant have kids and would love to have giving baby p the love and care he longed for . a brave little boy u were still trying to pull a smile we all love u x

michelle, dundee, scotland

Shoesmith and Co. should be sacked immediately & charged with neglect they could have saved this innocent little boy from so much pain bring back hanging for all who harm & murder children!!! The animals who did this should be named & shamed God Bless little one ur safe now

Josie Allen, Portrush, N.Ireland

its the system that is messed up,,the social workers take too much at face value and the country is short of foster carers yet they wont allow people to foster children for silly reasons like owing money to catalogues or being under 30 yrs old,,how does that make someone unfit to care for children??

claire.x, johnstone, scotland

How does a mother who keeps a baby in her stomach for 9 months end up lettin him go through that. What is the world cuming 2 a poor innocent child who jus came 2 this world to go through all that May the Almighty take gr8 care off him and may we all pray 4 his soul 2 rest in peace.

aneesa, luton , england

This is one of the saddest & most emotional stories i've read in recent times. It breaks my heart to see anyone sufering in these types of circumstances especially someone so helpless as a child, I just hope now the people who victimised this child to such torture & abuse are punished!
RIP Baby P

Sara, Leicester,

It breaks my heart.

Fiona Dunne, Drogheda, Ireland

RIP sweet baby boy xxx

everybody who feels passionate about this should ring the superiors of te people involved and ask them why these people still have their jobs....its mindless and horrific to think they are still working with children....i hope they can sleep at night....baby P RIP.xxxxx

i cannot believe how wrong this is! im only 18 but i have a baby brother of 19 months and i couldnt let anything happen to him, i hate myself if he falls over and cries when im looking after him! it takes some sick twisted people to let this happen to a child in their care! RIP baby p, no more hurt

Claire , Newport, Wales

No communication. Have they not learnt their lessons from Victoria? Did no one listen? This poor little boy, who thousands of couples would have given their right arm to be allowed to love, died through the gross misconduct of the very people who are paid to protect him. RIP, baby p.

Antonia, Oakham, Rutland

I have a ball of hate in my gut after reading this. Its stories like this that make me think the public should start taking the law into their own hands. Release these three into the public domain and let us do our worst. I guarantee they will be begging for death, the sick bastards.

Natalie, George Town, Grand Cayman

what amazes me is that social services thinks it's OK for a baby to be brought up in a place where there are dead mice and chicks on the floor & rubbish everywhere, irrespective of any actual physical abuse. if that is acceptable, god knows what is unacceptable. sleep safe little baby boy.

Kate Medina, London,

As the mother of a baby boy the same age as as this little angel was when he was released from his pain I cannot get this sickening story out of my head.
I can only thank God that he took you from this you gorgeous boy. I wish you peace and happiness where you are now. xxx

Stephanie Falconer, coleraine, northern ireland

As i sit and read this horrific story of a tragic beautiful boys life,the tears are streaming down my face. What monsters could do this to a precious child, wont be long till there named and shamed and face what they deserve.

Darren Marsden, Brussels, Belgium

Why should this 'man' not be named? He deserves everything that is coming to him and baby P's mother should hate herself, she's a monster for letting this happen to her baby.
I hope baby P is finding happiness at last and that he is at rest, he'll deffinately stay in my heart for a long time. xxx
