Poor Sharon Shoesmith????? Not.

So every event (4 a week) should lead to a sacking? there are 34,000 children in England on the 'at risk' register. When one of them is killed by the parent someone should be sacked? There would be no bosses left! You are just being silly.

You are missing the point. When one of them is killed by a parent, and this may well have been in part due to the failing of a system which somone is paid to manage, oversee, appraise the effectiveness of etc, then heads have to roll.

In cases where the deaths occur even though all the systems were in place and being well managed, then noone has failed to do their job, other than the parent.

But it's only when the press get a band wagon rolling that anyone even cares. How many others are equally to blame but get away with it? It's the parent - not the state that's to blame.

Indeed the parents were to blame. But she was in charge of the entire system for protecting children. She set the policy. She determined the management. She invented and instigated the systems and methods that failed. She is paid to take the rap if the system fails. Thats why she got £2000 a week. She the top dog, shes paid to take the blame, cos she's 100% in control of it all. Her, alone. Thats the responsibility you take along with the £2k a week.

Do you not think we the taxpayers are entitled to competent staff at that salary level?
