More concerned with money, position, reputation and her own self image of herself as a "victim" of circumstance, than actually getting to grips with an incompetent failing department riddled with politically correct doctrine..
Sharon Shoesmith considers herself the victim of the Baby P tragedy
Judging from Sharon Shoesmith’s self-pitying analysis of the Baby P scandal, she seems to have forgotten who the real victim was.
In interviews over the weekend, the former head of Haringey children’s services complained bitterly that she had been made a scapegoat by the press, the public and the Government.
Hounded by the paparazzi and sacrificed on the altar of political expediency by Children’s Secretary Ed Balls, she said she was so distressed she had even considered suicide.
It was all so unfair. She believed she had been brilliant at her job and nothing could have been done to prevent the killing.
What self-serving rubbish!
Baby P had been under Haringey social services supervision for eight months before his death and was seen some 60 times by health and social workers.
Yet, in that time, he was systematically tortured before being beaten to death. No one noticed the boy’s suffering or, if they did, they failed to act.
If Ms Shoesmith cannot see this was a profound failing in the social care system of which she was in charge, she is completely deluded. (WE already knew that)
Even now, she shows no remorse nor accepts any responsibility on behalf of herself or her department.
So, if she had stayed in her job, she would not even have tried to reform the procedures which failed to prevent Baby P’s death, making a similar incident far more likely in the future.
Ms Shoesmith says the manner of her dismissal was ‘a local tragedy and a national catastrophe’.
We say: Good riddance!
