Social services 'missed 11 opportunities' to intervene with Amber Peat

That is inexcusable. Completely inexcusable. So another costly investigation into SS practices I suppose - but far too late, and using money better used elsewhere. Makes me so angry.

 

[Legally Bland]

In her narrative conclusion, the coroner said there were no less than 11 missed opportunities for education, health and social care agencies to assess Amber and her family, and this may have prevented Amber's death.

"Had those agencies responded to safeguarding concerns in an appropriate manner it is possible Amber would not have died when she did," the coroner said.

Hanged girl's 'intentions not known'


The coroner spent more than two hours going through the evidence at the completion of the inquest and said "professionals were not asking the right questions".

She said not enough had been done to "console her" although her stepfather and mother tried to portray themselves as "concerned parents" when she went missing on May 30.

But the coroner pointed out that the family went to a supermarket and a car wash before contacting the police seven hours after Amber left home when her mum refused to talk to her.

Teenager Amber Peat - who hanged herself - could have been saved, coroner says



Mrs Bower has said there was evidence that Danny Peat was 'a compulsive liar, gambling with the use of drugs' and believed this 'should have triggered safeguarding coverage by Derbyshire health services.'

"The stepfather of Amber Peat plans to make a documentary to 'prove to the world he is blameless' in the 13-year-old's death.
Amber's stepdad Danny Peat told an inquest into her death that she 'lied' when she claimed he subjected her to humiliating punishments in the family home."

I can't see anything good coming from this, for either Danny or Amber's memory.

Oh how nice, calling a dead child a liar.
Scumbags, both of them.

.Hanged schoolgirl's father 'let down'

During the inquest Mr and Mrs Peat said allegations about her having punishments and chores were untrue.

They called her a "drama queen" and said she had behavioural issues.

"I don't know how people can sit there and say their daughter is a liar," Mr Cook said.

"I don't think it was puberty that caused all the problems."

The coroner said the fact Amber saw Mr Cook only twice since her parents separated on Christmas Eve 2012 "would, no doubt, have had an emotional impact on Amber and a destabilising effect on her life".

Mr Cook said the family would often move around without him knowing and he was not told when his daughter's surname was changed. ..... more.....

My thoughts exactly, what kind of parents talk about a little girl who commited suicide as a lying attention seeker? I hope social services is looking into the welfare of Ambers siblings.

CPS are reviewing the case.

Police evidence on hanged girl 'to be reviewed'

ETA: There was something really not right in that household, I'm not sure what it was, but the lies from the parents were covering something.

But NO.....today they have been let off with not enough evidence! The schools and SS should be ashamed and her mother has so much to answer for.

Thanks, I hadn't seen there was going to be no further action.

The CPS said it had reviewed the coroner's findings and further information from Nottinghamshire Police.

A spokesman said: "After careful consideration of all the available evidence, we have concluded there is insufficient evidence to prosecute anyone for criminal offences relating to Amber's treatment up to the time of her death."

No charges over hanged girl's death​

This makes me so sad. Poor Amber.

No Justice for Amber. Her egg donor and its husband disgust me.
