I am glad Simon and Michelle McWilliam got what they deserved. May John Smith now rest in peace.

Social services chief Allan Bowman admitted errors - too right, there were a lot of errors and it's too late now.

I remember Maria Colwell all those years ago. There were going to be changes then. Where are the changes for the poor innocent children 28 years later?

I hope I never have to get in touch with social services because, after all these years, they still can't get it right.

We must all be aware not for ourselves but for all the children that can't speak up for themselves. Please don't turn a blind eye - you may live to regret it.
