Date
A date that threw Social Services into the headlines for their own neglect to help Victoria Climbié escape her wretched life, missing twelve separate opportunities to help.

Kouao and Manning were arrested shortly after for her death, in a case described by the Home Office pathologist assigned as ‘…the worst case of child abuse I’ve encountered.’
