The intense public interest in the case of the abuse and murder of 17 month old Baby Peter is as strong now as it was when the shocking details first emerged in their entirety in November last year.

We have all been sickened and enraged at how this poor child was left to his terrible fate by Haringey Council social services – headed by Ed Balls and the appallingly arrogant Sharon Shoesmith.

We have read page after page of reports and descriptions; watched interviews with people who were concerned and tried to help and people who were supposed to be concerned but didn’t bother. We have listened to explanations and excuses by overly paid talking-heads and pen-pushers who are expert at filling out forms but totally clueless when stood in front of a bruised and battered baby boy with a broken back.

We have seen the repulsive faces of the three subhuman lifeforms who took pleasure in subjecting a baby to the misery of squalor, horrific torture and ultimately death – and were particularly sickened with the idea that the baby belonged to one of them.

We have seen the faces and know the names of those women – professional women – who ignored the sight of a cruelly tortured child in a stinking cesspit of a house and accepted the excuses of his fat, filthy mother.

We know every horrible, disgusting detail of the case of how this poor child was abused, neglected, tortured and finally beaten to death. We know how he was allowed to suffer and ultimately die in a blood spattered cot in a room littered with rubbish and dog shit.

We know who the three people responsible are.

What we want to know now is when these three are going to receive their sentences; first it was December 2008 – then it was January 2009 – and finally sentencing was set for March. Well, March has almost been and gone and we, the public, are waiting to see what is going to happen with these three.

Update 01/05/09: Trial finished
