benfiquista não acredita. Isto deve ser um pesadelo!
Ninguém nem na escola, nem no GP, nem nos serviços sociais se aperceberam que o Daniel Pelka, 4 anitos de idade, andava esfomeado e comia porrada até mais não. Por fim, a mãe desferiu um panacadão na cabecinha do Daniel e isso foi demais para o prato dele. Ela, a mãe assassina, telefonou para o 999 a dizer que a criança já não respirava! Pois não, não respirava não! como podia?
Ela própria cortou-lhe o fôlego! Tanto o cérebro como o corpo pararam e desistiram da vida. A criança morreu. Tudo isto foi obra do mãe, do padrasco e da negligência de profissionais diletantes.
A criança aparecia frequentemente no hospital toda escavacada mas inteira, aparecia na escola toda coberta de hematomas que nem o São Lázaro, e e andava sempre a revoltear os caixotes do lixo para encontrar comida. Um professor disse que o miúdo era um saco de ossos e apenas pesava uns 10 quilos, pouco mais de seis stones e meia.
O Daniel tinha 4 anos, obviamente que a criança já falava, e até falaria as duas línguas, Polaco e Inglês. Sabem uma coisa? O impensável aconteceu. Nunca ninguém perguntou nada à criança, nem falaram com ela! Diz agora o relatório do inquérito que a criança se tornou invisível! Invisível? Como? Não, a criança nunca foi invisível, os profissionais é que andavam ceguetas e não a viram. Acreditavam em tudo que a sacana da mãe, mentirosa e manipuladora dizia!
A própria polícia andava constantemente a ser chamada lá a casa para parar violència doméstica -- mais consumo de álcool do que água -- e a criança lá a levar com aquilo tudo.
Ninguém via? Mas esses incidentes sem margem para engano ficaram todos registados e são revelados agora depois do inquérito. Há aqui matéria forte para fazer sentar muita gente no mocho.

Então que profissionais foram esses que andavam com os olhos fechados e não viram o sofrimento da criança. Então não recebem formação para detetar estes crimes a quilómetros de distância? A falta de profissionalismo salta à frente dos olhos. Agora têm de enfrentar as consequências e viver com essa morte cruel, pela qual eles também foram responsáveis, e com esse peso na consciência até ao fim da vida.
Infelizmente este tipo de negligência acontece com muita frequência. Há certamente um problema grave na formação dos profissionais pagos para zelarem sobre a segurança e bem estar das crianças.
Agora dizem que devem tirar lições do caso e que isso não se repita. Não tiram lições nenhumas! A maioria dos profissionais nem sequer vão ouvir falar deste caso. Não lêem este tipo de notícias! Isto está sempre a repetir-se aqui e ali! Que corja de incompetentes! Isto só à paulada! Metafórica. Não nos podemos alagar nuito porque podemos ser processados por incitação à violência. Lol!

E os vizinhos e outras pessoas também não viram nada? Muito estranho! Não se trata de interferência na vida de ninguém, mas nãon se pode fechar os olhos diante um crime hediondo contra gente vulnerável e indefesa. Coitado do miúdo.
Anda já uma revolução nos média e em todos os serviços sociais responsáveis sobre esta falha mortal. A comunidade em geral quer saber como foi possívem deixarem matar a criança praticamente à frente de toda a gente. Agora depois o erro feito ninguém conseguer explicar e dar uma resposta certa.
A morte do Daniel está a tomar proporções gigantescas e também a causar turbulência no Governo Britânico. Fala-ze já em criar mais legislação, a qual terá certamente o nome de A Lei Daniel Pelka, a fim de evitar mais negligências causando a morte de crianças.
O fato de este caso, em que uma pobre ciança morreu torturada, estar a ter cobertura nacional a todos os níveis da sociedade, isto só mostra a maturidade de um país e o respeito pela vida humana, neste caso, de uma criancinha inocente.
Admitem virtualmente que falharam neste caso. Porém, o Reino Unido têm um serviço social de proteção das crianças bem montado e bem elaborado. Felizmente os casos de sucesso são numerosos e muitas crianças têm beneficiado dos serviços sociais britânicos.

Police were called to several domestic incidents involving Mariusz Krezolek and Magdelena Luczak
Daniel Pelka: Serious case review finds 'missed opportunities'
The review said professionals who came into contact with Daniel missed chances to help him
Chances were missed to help a child who was murdered by his mother and her partner after suffering "terrifying and dreadful" abuse, a report has found.
A serious case review found Daniel Pelka, four, was "invisible" at times and "no professional tried sufficiently hard enough" to talk to him.
He was starved and beaten for months before he died in March 2012, at his Coventry home.
The review said "critical lessons" must be "translated into action".
Magdelena Luczak, 27, and Mariusz Krezolek, 34, were told they must serve at least 30 years in jail, after being found guilty of murder at Birmingham Crown Court in July.
'Shocking reading'
The court heard Daniel saw a doctor in hospital for a broken arm, arrived at school with bruises and facial injuries, and was seen scavenging for food.
A teaching assistant described him as a "bag of bones" and the trial heard he was "wasting away". At the time of his death the schoolboy weighed just over a stone-and-a-half (10kg).
Much of the detail that emerged in the trial about the level of abuse Daniel suffered was "completely unknown" to the professionals involved, the review found.
No-one has been disciplined as a direct result of Daniel's death.
The report by Ron Lock did not blame or identify any individual agency but he said the professionals involved were "too optimistic" about what they saw.
"Workload was a potential issue - child protection is a very complex matter - and perhaps when they felt reassured they moved on to the next case," Mr Lock told BBC News.
"But they need to be stronger and have a much more inquiring mind. They needed to act on what was in front of them."
The review's key findings include:
- Police were called to 26 separate incidents at the family home, many involving domestic violence and alcohol abuse
- Excuses made by Daniel's "controlling" mother were accepted by agencies
- Professionals needed to "think the unthinkable" and act upon what they saw, rather than accept "parental versions"
- Daniel's "voice was not heard" because English was not his first language and he lacked confidence
- No record of "any conversation" held with Daniel about his home life, his experiences outside school, or of his relationships with his siblings, mother and her partners
- None of the agencies involved could have predicted Daniel's death
- There were "committed attempts" by his school and health workers to address his "health and behavioural issues" in the months before his death
- But "too many opportunities were missed for more urgent and purposeful interventions"
- Two of those chances were when Daniel was taken to an accident and emergency department with injuries
In March 2008, when Daniel was eight months old, he was treated for a minor head wound. In January 2011, when he was three-and-a-half, he was taken to A&E with a fractured arm.
The review said the hospital "rightly raised immediate concerns about the [fractured arm]" and a meeting was held to decide if it was caused by a fall from a settee, as Daniel's mother claimed, or was the result of abuse.
The meeting decided Luczak's explanation was "plausible".
But the review said the reasons for other bruises found on Daniel at the time, which his mother claimed came from bicycle accidents, were not "fully explored".
The Children and Families Minister Edward Timpson said the report made "shocking reading" and "laid bare" the lack of intervention by professionals.
Mr Timpson said he had written to the Coventry Safeguarding Children Board asking for a clearer analysis as to why the mistakes occurred.
'Invisible' Daniel
Amy Weir, the board's chair, said she found the report "disheartening, disappointing and generally worrying".
Ms Weir said the idea of Daniel being "invisible" was "at the heart of this case".
"I think for Daniel there's something which we've never fully been able to get to grips with," she said.
"The issue about Daniel mainly being Polish speaking" should have been overcome and there were "significant issues" about his mother and her ability to try to "hoodwink the professionals", she added.
Coventry City Council's chief executive, Martin Reeves, said the city had "never faced such a tragic case" and staff needed to "learn quickly" from the review.
Assistant Chief Constable Garry Forsyth, of West Midlands Police, said: "We accept that Daniel was not 'given a voice'."
He said the report "raised the lack of consistency" in officers dealing with separate domestic abuse reports and the force needed "a more holistic approach".
The report said that due to such inconsistency, Daniel's lack of language and low confidence was not picked up and would have made it "almost impossible for him to reveal the abuse he was suffering".
"Overall, the 'rule of optimism' appeared to have prevailed," it said.
The review said Daniel could have been offered greater protection if the professionals involved had applied a "much more enquiring mind".
It also identified school staff did not link Daniel's physical injuries with their concerns about his apparent obsession with food, which his mother claimed was caused by a medical condition.
'Changes' needed
Gill Mulhall, Daniel's head teacher at Little Heath Primary in Coventry, said: "His mother was a convincing manipulator.
"If we were aware of the bigger picture of his life or had doubts about her, we would of course have acted differently.
"We want to see changes where schools are aware of concerns from other agencies which affect our pupils."
Sharon Binyon, medical director of the Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust, said the service as a whole did not do enough.
"Coventry has one of the lowest numbers of health visitors per child in the country. That was recognised and we're working with NHS England," she said.
"Since the time of Daniel's death the number of health visitors has now doubled and we expect to see it trebled by 2015."
Peter Wanless, the NSPCC's chief executive officer, said ultimately Daniel's mother and her partner were responsible for his death but it was right to look at what could have been done differently.
"Processes were followed correctly much of the time but processes alone do not save children," he said.
Geoffrey Robinson, MP for Coventry North West, said Daniel Pelka's death was "a great disgrace" for the city.

Pelka abuse case could prompt law change, Clegg says
Efforts to prevent deaths like that of Daniel Pelka could include a change in the law, Nick Clegg has said.
The deputy prime minister said new laws were "not necessarily" the solution, but would be considered if that was the "only way" to prevent such tragedies.
He said children could still "fall between the cracks" if teachers, social workers and councils do not liaise.
The children's minister said a law forcing professionals to report abuse suspicions would not have saved Daniel.
Four-year-old Daniel was starved and beaten for months before he died in March 2012 at his Coventry home.
A report published earlier, following a serious case review, found "no professional tried sufficiently hard" to talk to him.
Mr Clegg said his "sense" was that the real issue was a lack of communication between teachers, social workers and local authorities.
"The problem in this and unfortunately in other previous tragic cases is that individuals can fall between the cracks," he said.
Speaking about the possibility of changing the law, he added: "If it's the only way we can prevent this tragedy of this poor boy happening to other children then of course we will consider it."
'Bag of bones'
Children's Minister Edward Timpson said mandatory reporting - making it a criminal offence not to report suspected abuse - "wouldn't have helped Daniel".
He added: "We know from those countries that do have mandatory reporting it doesn't necessarily make children safer, and it can actually make them less safe - we know they have higher death rates of children, for example."
Home Secretary Theresa May said lessons must be learned from the child's death, particularly about sharing of information.
She said another lesson to be learned was that authorities investigating domestic violence should routinely "look at how those incidents affect children".
Mariusz Krezolek and Magdelena Luczak were both given life sentences for murder
At the trial of Daniel's mother Magdelena Luczak, 27, and her partner Mariusz Krezolek, 34, Birmingham Crown Court was told Daniel was a "bag of bones" and was "wasting away".
The court heard Daniel saw a doctor in hospital for a broken arm, arrived at school with bruises and facial injuries, and was seen scavenging for food.
Both defendants were convicted of murder, jailed for life and ordered to serve at least 30 years each.
Much of the detail that emerged in the trial about the abuse Daniel suffered was "completely unknown" to the professionals involved, the serious case review found.
But it said said Daniel could have been offered greater protection if they had applied a "much more enquiring mind".
No-one has been disciplined as a direct result of Daniel's death.
