Following the Baby P case and seeing Maria's name mentioned in another thread, it like de ja vue all over again, do we never learn.
As reminder of for those who are a lot younger and do not know her name:
Maria Lived her short life in Brighton.
Maria Colwell was just 7 years old when she died in 1973. She was beaten and starved to death by her stepfather William Kepple. She was delivered to hospital by her stepfather in a white pram which she herself had used to carry coal, she was emaciated and had suffered horrific injuries.
Police officers visiting the house where she lived discovered that the door handle had been removed from the inside of her bedroom door. It had effectively become her prison.
Maria was systematically beaten by her stepfather, and was often forced to rummage through bins to find food. Despite countless calls to social services, Maria died at the hands of William Kepple.
Her death produced a public outcry and sparked a huge public inquiry. Despite this, too many children today are suffering the same way.
Can anyone remember what sentence William Kepple received, guess he is now out of prison.
