The story broke in the Express on Sunday and it has prompted Liberal Democrat MP, John Hemming to claim that the findings were a "national scandal" according to his website's news section. He will be demanding a full Parliamentary inquiry into Britain's child protection system.
The whistleblower gives weight to the idea that flip flop processes are being put in place by government government decision makers as a result of extreme cases. This could mean that many families' lives are being torn apart simply to chase numbers and avoid possible recrimination.
One of the big factors mentioned by the whistleblower is that there is a culture of fear within the social worker profession and councils following the abuse of baby P.
However, people like John Hemming are calling for a reasoned and measured approach to problem families to safeguard children from atrocities like the Baby P case, but also to protect and nurture problem families that want help, but find it difficult to cope with the economic and social strains of modern society.
