Finley Boden was murdered by his parents
A 10-month-old baby who was murdered by his parents just weeks after being placed back into their care "should have been one of the most protected children in the local authority area", a safeguarding review has concluded.
After returning home, Finley was subjected to a campaign of abuse and was found to have 130 separate injuries at the time of his death, as well as conditions including sepsis and pneumonia. The review, which has been anonymised, said: "In this instance, a child died as the result of abuse when he should have been one of the most protected children in the local authority area."
Most of what had been experienced by Finley in the final weeks of his life "was unknown to professionals working with the family at that time", the report said. She said: "Despite the significant Covid restrictions placed on our work at the time, we know there were missed opportunities for stronger practice and we apologise for that."
