Star Hobson relatives warnings recorded as ‘malicious’ by social services
The Independent sats Warnings from relatives of Star Hobson were recorded as “malicious” by social services months before she was murdered by her mother’s partner, a government review has found.
Concerns raised by relatives of both the one-year-old girl and Arthur Labinjo-Hughes, another child who was killed in his home in 2020, were “too often disregarded” and not properly investigated by police and social workers, according to the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel.
The report, commissioned by the government following the deaths of the two infants – murdered within four months of each other – warns that the way child protection is approached in England needs to “change fundamentally” in order to prevent future tragedies.
