'My daughter was stabbed 33 times by Southport killer, she fought like hell to escape'
Dobbies apologises for 'getting it wrong' following outcry at 'disaster' removal
Finding fault with a killers parents will do nothing to prevent future deaths.
We should build a system assuming that parents will sometimes fail.
If that system is to be built for maximum co-operation from families we need to offer better support for everyone with mental health problems.
The Southport inquiry says the attack was foreseeable and avoidable. No agency owned the risk. Key warnings were watered down. Even descriptions of troubling behaviour were softened rather than confronted.
This is what institutional failure looks like: not one mistake, but a chain of evasion.
How do we stop clear warnings from being buried until it is too late?
