Tää on jotain niin järkyttävää :´(

Two men have been found guilty of causing the death of a toddler who was used as a "punchbag" for months.



The 17-month-old boy - known only as Baby P - suffered injuries similar to the "force of a car crash".



Just two days before the boy was found dead in his blood-spattered cot, a doctor failed to spot his broken spine.



And police told the mother she would not be prosecuted after being arrested twice for suspected child cruelty.



The toddler was found dead in his home in north London on August 3 last year.



Baby P had more than 50 injuries or bruises and an attempt had been made to cover up the crime. By the end, he was unrecognisable, his curly, golden locks shaved off.



He had a broken back, nine fractured ribs, fingernails and a toenail missing, a severe mouth injury, a ripped ear and extensive bruising on his body.



He also had sores and puncture wounds on his head.



The abuse was said to have taken place over eight months, during which time the boy was on the child protection register of Haringey social services.



The tragedy has echoes of the Victoria Climbie murder in 2000, when eight-year-old Victoria died after care workers and police in Haringey failed to save her.



Baby P was seen 60 times by health or social workers during that period, being seen about twice a week.



He should have been protected by social workers, police and health professionals, the Old Bailey heard.



But his 27-year-old mother had been able to manipulate them with lies and even got away with smearing him with chocolate to hide bruises.



She pleaded guilty on a previous occasion to causing or allowing the death of her son.



Her 32-year-old boyfriend, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been found guilty of the same charge. He was cleared of murder.



Another man, 36-year-old Jason Owen, who lodged with the family, was convicted of causing or allowing the death of Baby P.



Detective Superintendent Caroline Bates said police errors were made which caused a delay at the start of the abuse inquiry, but these had not been significant to the outcome.



She said: "With hindsight, having the benefit of a major investigation, we know quite clearly that the mother was lying and trying to subvert agencies involved with the family."
