The grandfather of young murdered Arthur has slammed authorities for not taking relevant action on time, despite various alarm bells signaling danger.
According to local media reports, the grandad of Arthur Hughes says the child kept suffering in silence all the abuse and torture that was thrown at him, yet authorities did nothing to intervene.
“The alarm bells were ringing all around and there were a number of safety concerns being raised by so many relatives as well as neighbors but they were all ignored,” he explained.
The horrifyingly tragic court case that shattered the world’s hearts into pieces revealed how little Arthur passed away from unsurvivable brain damage, where nearly 130 injuries covered his entire body, before the murder. And that’s why many relatives and strangers are raising questions on how it went unnoticed.
“He was poisoned with salt and even forced to stand for nearly 14 hours in a day. They tortured and abused him,” the grandfather cried.
Just last week, the evil stepmom who carried out the final brutal attack against the 6-year-old was found guilty of murder and then sentenced to a period of 29 years in prison. But many felt that was not enough, as Arthur’s father was also sentenced to just 21 years when slapped for manslaughter.
Today, the UK’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson was quick to speak about how a new law would soon come into effect, called Arthur’s Law, that would sentence all child killers to a lifetime in prison. Therefore, that would also mean that Arthur’s vile stepmom and dad would also die in jail.
Recent details from the case spoke about how social workers visited Arthur, just two months before his death but they concluded that there were ‘no safeguarding concerns’ and hence closed the file.
In addition to that, Arthur’s maternal grandad also mentioned how social workers didn’t act on warnings given by other family members and even lost important notes pertaining to the case.
