Baby Peter
Whereas Wilt is the first to promote the positives of social care and remind all that for the most part it is significantly effective, this particular case matter has, rightly, repulsed both professionals and the public at large. There is no excuse however for poor reporting and others joining on the bandwagon to denounce all social care workers or to exploit that poor child’s legacy for their own ends.
An example of this is the Spectator article that involved a foster care worker who exploited the Baby Peter media coverage for her own, and only her own, needs, as explained by ‘Paul’ in his submission to RegulatorWatch.
‘Phil’ (not his real identity) alerted us to the following article (spectator-article-after-baby-p) from the Spectator and commented as follows:
‘The following is my response submitted to the Spectator but never published. The Spectator article is the most disgraceful piece of poor journalism I have ever seen. reply-to-after-baby-p-spector-article1
‘Phil is confident that naming the various parties in his submission is entirely lawful as each has been named previously in other published articles or Hansard or are otherwise lawfully named – however Wilt has made some edits.
After reading ‘Phil’s’ submission I understand his concerns and agree with his sentiments.
