This story is appalling and no one protected this child. Prosecute this case in the US and the inhumane beings will not live for long. As for Ms. Shoefield, she would have been fired ASAP. I am glad I no longer live in the UK after hearing about this. It makes me ashamed to admit I was born in that country!!! RIP baby P.

Taxgirl

The three people involved in this case have now been sentenced.

The boyfriend got 12 years (minimum served: 10 years). (He also got life for a different crime)

The mother got an ‘indeterminate’ sentence, minimum five years. An ‘indeterminate sentence’ means the Parole Board must keep her in jail until she is judged no longer to be a ‘threat to the public’.

The lodger also got an indeterminate sentence (minimum three years).

As has been pointed out, stronger sentences could be levied because the three could not be convicted of murder.

~First Off R.I.P. Peter!! U R now At rest-painfree & just plain free! I cry over you as if you were my own & i wish that you couldve been given to a loving caring family instead of ending up with this fate. I pray for your soul and i pray that you are in heaven watching over us & all the other abused children of the earth. Im sorry for what you went thru & i know that one day God will seek proper justice for the wrongdoings done upon you!I have 2 small children & Iam 23. Because of your story i look differnt at my life-&the life of my children. I am a little more thankful that i have them & Iam proud to say that I keep them safe! I would never harm them anyway but your story has made me realize children shouldnt be taken forgranted!! I hope to see ur bright blue eyes in my dreams-sweet child.Im sorry that you didnt get the chance at anything…Dear God when the time comes please use the whole karma concept on those responsible for little Peters horrific tragic death…show no mercy on them.Let them feel the pain & suffering that poor little Peter was forced to feel! I assume in the beginning that little Peter was happy….untilt the stepdad came along. This poor little child mustve been so confused seeing his mother do nothing while he was brutally attacked. I also ask for you Lord to please-if they arent already having nitemares-to endow nitemares onto those responsible! Take away all comforts that they have.I have been to jail and the comforts are food and sleep.That is it.Give them unimaginable nitemares and show them no mercy!! To the people responsible for his death:including the social worker;doctor and others that “overlooked” the abuse..aka the broken back…may ur lives be so burdened that what you did to that toddler seem like a walk in the park!! You may sitting in jail or whereever thinking to yourself that this is over-but in reality it is not!! you still havent faced God.Im not as religious as i should be but even i know that if you take it upon yourself to do such things to a child-an innocence that is as pure as innocence gets then…watch out and be afraid because that day is coming…and God isnt as forgiving as the law!! <3 ~})i({~ R.I.P Sweet Little Peter!! You remind me so much of my son-both my kids are blond hair blue eyed perfect little children-just like you were! Unlike some-i mourn the loss of you even tho i have never met you. I hope to meet you one day & ill hold you;hug you and show you what true motherly love is! Our world suffered a great loss when you died! No one can stop child abuse-it is impossible but we can all come together to prevent it-keep the children from dieing and give them loving caring homes to grow up in…to thrieve and be nurtured!! If you suspect abuse -report it!! Because you could be the one to save the next Peter!! God protect the children that cant protect themselves!!!

Colleen, I am not sure. I will poke around. I know they were trying to keep it quiet because of concerns of threats against the boyfriend and mother – sadly ironic, no?

When is the final sentencing in 2009? I’ve searched for this information and seems nobody talks about that. When will they finally be sentenced and where are they now? Why are there no photos of this horrible boyfriend. Such a sad and horrible story. Terrible and shocking.

NO CHILD SHOULD EVER HAVE TO GO THROUGH SUCH HORROR,ESPECIALLY AT THE HANDS OF A BOYFRIEND.THE MOTHER SHOULD HAVE JUST SAID, “LET ME ROT IN PRISON.”

Update: Yahoo answers tells us the maximum sentence is 14 years. Not enough for these people but enough to qualify as ’serious jail time’.

Good coverage taxgirl, but one point needs to be corrected.

The judge has told the convicted three (as yet unsentenced) that they will face ’substantial’ jail terms.

The offence of ‘causing or allowing death’ was brought in only a few years ago for cases likes this where its impossible to prove who actually committed the murder. I don’t know what the maxim tariff is, but this lot will certainly get it.

The question of anonymity comes up every time there is a high profile child murder case. In this case it won’t be relevant for many years.

And yet the Freedom of Choice Act will use taxpayer dollars to fund abortions without limits right here in America, and where is the outrage?
