Memorial to ‘ Alisha Allen’ Died While In Care!

Full Article: http://www.stopinjusticenow.com/victim_0046.htm

Alisha was classified as a ‘ vulnerable’ child even before she was born in August 2006.
But when her parents moved home a month later their new local authority decided instead to treat her as ‘a child in need’.
Although they were still visited by social workers and a health visitor, Alisha’s progress would have been monitored more closely had she remained on the at risk register.
In January 2007, Allen picked the crying toddler out of her cot and in a fit of rage shook her with such force that she never recovered from her brain injuries.

Tragedy of baby killed by father

Full Article: http://www.stopinjusticenow.com/News_0963.htm

A TOP judge has criticised the social services system after hearing how a baby girl was shaken to death by her bullying father.
Judge David Hodson said the death of five-month-old Alisha Allen occurred in circumstances where there had been undoubted failings within the two departments involved with her welfare.
He told parents Gary Allen and Claire Morton direct responsibility for Alishas death lay with them and them alone.
But he said the couple were in need of ‘as much help as they could get’ from social services and other agencies, but had not received that necessary help. Had they done so, he said, ‘this tragic case might have been avoided’.
Alisha had been placed on the child protection register even before she was born because of concerns about her mothers parenting skills, Newcastle Crown Court heard.
It was also known by the authorities that both parents had learning difficulties and Allen also had problems controlling his temper, the court was told.
Paramedics were called to the couples home in Marigold Crescent , Bournmoor, near Chester-le-Street, County Durham , in January last year after receiving a report Alisha had been ‘fitting’.

Judge criticises social services over baby death

Full Article: http://www.stopinjusticenow.com/News_0962.htm

A judge has criticised failings in the North East social services system after a five-month-old baby was shaken to death by her father.
The authorities were aware that little Alisha Allen’s parents were of limited intelligence and her father, Gary, struggled with anger management problems.
A Serious Case Review was launched after her death in January last year and a report will be published later.
Even before she was born, Alisha was on the “at risk” register because her mother, Claire Morton, was unable to cope.
The couple moved from Penshaw, Wearside, two miles to Bournmoor,County Durham, when their baby was two months old. That meant moving from Sunderland City Council’s social services to those run by Durham County Council.
Judge David Hodson, sentencing at Newcastle Crown Court, said with the Serious Case Review under way, it was not his place to apportion blame on the authorities.
But he said there had been ‘undoubted failings within two social services departments’ which meant that the parents did not get as much help as they needed.

Baby girl shaken to death by violent father just weeks after being taken off the at risk register

Full Article: http://www.stopinjusticenow.com/News_0961.htm

A judge yesterday condemned social services for failing to protect a baby girl who was shaken to death by her violent father.
Judge David Hodson said Alisha Allen’s death might have been avoided if her parents had received the proper help.
He spoke out after hearing how she was removed from the at risk register by social workers only weeks before she was shaken ‘like a rag doll’ by her father Gary Allen, 26.
Alisha was classified as a ‘ vulnerable’ child even before she was born in August 2006.
But when her parents moved home a month later their new local authority decided instead to treat her as ‘a child in need’.
Although they were still visited by social workers and a health visitor, Alisha’s progress would have been monitored more closely had she remained on the at risk register.
In January 2007, Allen picked the crying toddler out of her cot and in a fit of rage shook her with such force that she never recovered from her brain injuries.
She died three days later in hospital.
Allen initially claimed he had nothing to do with the death of his five-month-old daughter and repeatedly changed his story, blaming his then partner. But in April he finally admitted her manslaughter.

Fathers’ rights official tried to ruin man’s custody case

Full Article: http://www.stopinjusticenow.com/News_0960.htm

Britains leading fathers rights charity is in turmoil after it emerged that one of its senior figures used the organisation to influence a child custody hearing against a father, The Times has learnt.
Families Need Fathers (FNF) is to pay tens of thousands of pounds in damages and legal costs after one of its officials admitted writing a defamatory letter to a judge in an attempt to undermine the fathers custody case.
Steve Stephenson, FNFs London branch organiser, admitted that he should not have made the false and defamatory allegations, which were vetted by the head office of the government-funded charity.
The case has highlighted the secrecy in which the family justice system is shrouded, because the father who cannot be named for legal reasons was unaware of the allegations against him for several months.
It was only when the father, a working professional in his fifties, requested correspondence from his file that it came to his attention and he refuted the allegations. Three court hearings had taken place in the meantime.

Teachers feel children’s careers not central to their jobs

Full Article: http://www.stopinjusticenow.com/News_0959.htm

Teachers concentrate on children’s exam results at the expense of preparing them for the world of work, a survey has found
Four in ten teachers do not feel getting pupils ready for the world of work is central to their job.
They are more likely to view the number of GCSEs pupils pass or a successful Ofsted report as measures of success for a school rather than pupils ready to leave education for a career.
The survey found one third of teachers thought the number of pupils who went on to get jobs was the least important measure of a school’s success.
By contrast, two thirds of teachers viewed the number of pupils who went on to get good GCSE results as the top measure of achievement. A successful Ofsted report was the second choice given in survey of more than 300 teachers by b-live, a social networking facility for employers and youth organisations to contact young people
