WHO WAS IT WHO KILLED BABY P?

WHO WAS IT WHO KILLED BABY P?

Since then, the Government has continued to underfund Care Services.













Who was it who killed Baby P,
The Government's hypocrisy?
Whose policies caused it to slash,
The Children's Care Department’s cash.

Who was it who killed Baby P?
The Ministers who knowingly;
Scapegoated the Case Workers deeds,
Whilst deaf to their financial needs.

Who was it who killed Baby P?
Child carers in a quandary,
Excessive case loads were their cry,
But still they were blamed from on high.

Who was it who killed Baby P?
The Council whose forced strategy;
Kept children at home with a prayer,
With no funds to put them in care.

Who was it who killed Baby P?
The Sun in all its trumpery;
Whose readers threatened Council Staff,
And said they'd kill them for a laugh.

Who was it who killed Baby P?
His family and friends savagery;
And also, maybe, some of us,
Who only after--made a fuss.
