I'm of two minds on this.  She didn't inflict those horrid injuries, her mother and partner did.  And no amount of time served will ever make up for the fact that they killed that little boy.

According to some reports, the mother and her partner hid a lot of his injuries from the social workers.  The grandparents and the boy's natural father all had regular contact with Baby Peter and failed to pick up on his injuries.  How can we really blame an overworked and stressed social worker for not picking up on the injuries?

Then, on the other hand we have the Emergency doctor who failed to pick up on the fact that Peter's back was broken and sent him back home.  That is as outrageous as the social worker who failed to remove Peter from the home.

The real culprits are and will always be the mother and her partner who tortured and abused him.

The parents and the lodger are totally responsible for inflicting the injuries that caused little Peter's death.  The social workers that were 'employed' to protect that child are totally responsible for not carrying out their checks properly.  

I firmly believe that if someone is prepared to accept a great salary for their role in running a department, accept the praise when things go right, then they should also accept the criticism and consequences when things go wrong.  

It's tough luck for her that she feels as if she has been victimised because of her departments failings, but it's nothing in comparison to what that defenceless child had to endure for months.
