Missed chances of ending 20 years of cruelty
Extract:
"Welfare professionals missed a string of chances to raise concerns about a "sadistic" foster mother who subjected three children to physical and mental abuse over 20 years, it was claimed yesterday.
Among those who saw the children who were in the care of Eunice Spry were doctors, a psychiatrist and a dentist who treated one child six times after she suffered broken teeth.
Reports of concerns over the children reached social workers several times. The concerns were investigated but no action was taken.
On Tuesday Spry was found guilty of 26 charges including child cruelty, unlawful wounding and actual bodily harm at Bristol crown court."
