Dead Children And The Media

The horrific treatment of Baby P has been plastered all over the newspapers (and the web) for the last week or so. It's tragic, but no one would know/care about the situation if it weren't for the media. It turns out that an average of four children die each week in England in a system that offers "patently inadequate" standards of care in the networks of schools, care workers and children's homes established to protect them, according to Ofsted. It's odd how people only care about things when they turn up on the front page of the leading newspapers.
