The father of a boy who was left by his mum to die has said his son was let down by social services as well as the police.
Ethan’s dad Luke Turvey, 37, has now said he was let down by the multiple agencies that were involved in his care
A Serious Case Review found that Luke’s concerns were not taken into account or treated seriously enough by doctors, midwives, health visitors, mental health workers, A&E staff, doctors, police, social services and the family court. He believes that social workers were naturally against him – assuming that he was the abuser because he was male.Baby Ethan Davis was left in his cot for two hours when he died ‘Social services should have investigated all allegations that were made against her, rather than ignoring them.‘At the start, I wasn’t even involved – even with the health visitor, they almost dismiss you.
‘Everyone who dealt with this has said sorry – the police for example – but still no apology from social services, because they know they really messed up.’ ‘Although there may be some practical challenges, in this case there appeared to be a general lack of curiosity about [Luke], the parent’s relationship and especially what this meant for [Ethan], for example reports refer to “the parents’ care” even when they were no longer together.’
