This isn’t SL related, or anything to do with me, it’s paying tribute to a little boy known as baby P that has been plastered over the UK news recently, will cut here for those not interested.Baby P only had 17mths in this world, and a majority of those months were spent being hurt and tortured in ways unimaginable.   I know there are kids all over the world in abusive situations, but this one has really broken my heart, I can’t get the haunting images of the blue eyed gorgeous boy out of my head and I feel like he was failed on so many levels, by so many people and I wish somehow there was a way to go back and save him, to show him he was loved SO much.

I’ve cried buckets over the last few days about this case, it’s heartbreaking and it’s devestated me, so much that I now check on my own kids several times a night, just to stroke their faces and tell them I love them, if that’s lame, i’m as lame as they come.

I just hope Baby P is looking down from a better place and is overwhelmed by the love that is being shown for him, albeit too late, by so many people that WOULD have loved him like their own, like he deserved.

As for the people that subjected him to the cruelty, I hope they are subjected to the same, and it was TRULY horrifying, I won’t go into details here because not everyone will want to know and understandbly so it’s truly one of the most shocking and disturbing things I have EVER read, but you can google it, or ask me for a site.   I hope they are subjected to the same torture repeatedly, and for the people that stood by and did nothing, I hope you all feel shame for the rest of your lives and you WILL be haunted by the images of the boy you left to die, by refusing to put him in safe hands, you have blood on your hands and I don’t care what ANYONE says, you deserve to feel like crap over it.  You were paid to protect children like him, not allow them to be tortured slowly to death.

Baby P was seen over SIXTY times by various social workers and even seen by a Dr when he had a fractured/broken spine, but he was “too distressed and cranky” so she didn’t perform a full check-up, 2 dayas later, he was dead from a blow to the head so hard a milk tooth was found in his colon and if that Dr isn’t struck off, it’s just another insult to add to the injury already caused. 

What’s truly distressing is that one of the last times he was seen, with his tiny, frail, battered, bruised and unfed body in terrible condition, the poor little mite still managed to raise a smile, through all the pain he was suffering, he smiled, that breaks my heart everytime I think about it.

I had to get this rant out, so I apologise for those that are rolling their eyes right now, this is MY blog and these are MY feelings and i’m so overwhelmed and touched by this story that I felt the need to get my feelings out somewhere.  Child abuse needs to STOP, we need to STOP this happening to other children, I don’t know how, I don’t have answers but I know I have the drive to do something about it, I would do my best to do everything I can to help kids in this situation before it’s too late for them too.

Baby P:  I have so much love for you, I never knew you, but if I had, I would have loved you like one of my own, like you deserved, as would so many others.   You’re playing with the angels now, sweet boy and I hope you finally have peace.   RIP xxxx

  1. This story has been breaking my heart too since it came out and I can’t stop thinking about it. I just can’t understand why someone would do such things and how it was overlooked so many times by so many people. Disgusting and absolutely tragic. I hope the people who did it get what they deserve. I’m almost positive they won’t :(

  2. This is absolutely horrid Willow…and anyone rolling their eyes at this must have no heart at all.

    I’m in tears just reading *your* post…and really it’s a symptom of the world as a whole these days. We don’t care enough for each other…and de-humanization has reached shocking and scary levels. We need to wake up, because we are destroying ourselves as a species.

    Thanks for reminding us all that there are huge issues out there that are so much more important than who’s wearing what in SL today, yanno?
