It is thought the toddler, who has been described as the "light of his dad's eye", starved to death after Kenneth had a heart attack.

F@ck me. Heartbreaking.

Absolutely tragic. I have no other words.

 

[Muteswan]

That is such dreadful news, shouldn’t happen in this day and age.

 

[Pacemaker]

You have to feel for that social worker who did everything they could, back in the day the police would have broken in but these days they seem to ignore missing persons or social services calls for concern.

 

[DJack]

All of the above.

Utterly depressing.

I wish I hadn't read that...no words.

They had a dog in the house, and that was found starving.

Issue like this , Social Sevices tried their best with home visits , no response what can they do .

Rules and Regs , Plod cannot barge in without proper paperwork and evidence , awful result now for all concerned , tragic .

Spare a thought for the case worker , horrendous situation to now deal with , underpaid and also undermanned stuck in that spotlight , let us hope they have support from their bosses .

RIP the Two of them , there seemed a special bond .

At least 3 telephone calls to the police, and then they only turned up approx 7 days after the first call - when the bodies had been found!!

If someone is dead in the house, they usually bark for hours.. if they were out in the sticks though
