Two young mums have hit out at social services after accusing them of failures that allowed a man to batter their babies.No, this isn’t a case where a child-abusing excuse for a man has wormed his way into a position of authority in, say, a school or nursery.
The mothers (in name only) in this tawdry little tale invited the child-abusing excuse for a man into their own beds:
The mums, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told a Sunday newspaper they felt the sentence isn't long enough.
The first mother, who was just 17 years old when she met Hewitt…So quite how that is somehow the fault of the SS, it’s hard to see.
… said: "He got just five years for attacking both babies. It's disgraceful.
"I nearly got sectioned one night because I just couldn't deal with it any more."
Social services insisted her mother had to look after her child instead of her while the investigation was carried out.Well, yes. That’s hardly surprising, is it?
The woman said: "Mum was the only one allowed to be with my child alone.Oh, Christ, where to start?
"I couldn't face watching my mum doing what I should be doing and it hurt like hell.
"My baby was running to my mum crying and it killed me. It got on top of me and I turned to drink."
The second mother still feels bitter about the way social services handled the matter.Well, good! Because, god knows, you’ve a fair bit to be guilty about, both of you. It’s not like this came out of the blue, for either of you:
Two senior social workers were sacked in the wake of the investigation after they were accused of failing to protect the second baby.
That child's mother said: "For the past three years, I have been led to believe what happened was my fault and I had let my child down. I think I deserve an apology.
"Sacking two people isn't good enough – they can't go to work now but my life is ruined.
"Guilt isn't the word for what I feel, it's something past guilt."
Hewitt was working as a holiday rep when he met one of the mothers in Bridlington in 2007. The former pig farmer assaulted her baby after it was left in his care.*speechless*
Friends and relatives of the woman saw him throw the child three metres across a room on to a sofa and dangle the baby by the leg.
Hewitt's relationship with the mother ended when suspicions over his involvement in the child's injury grew.*still speechless*
In 2008, he met another mother of a young baby.
She noticed marks on her ten-month-old baby and a red handprint on its face, but refused to believe Hewitt was responsible.
During sentencing, Judge Jeremy Baker QC told Hewitt he had been given a jail sentence because he was considered a risk to children.I’m not entirely sure the biological mothers aren’t similarly unsuitable.
He said: "I am satisfied you pose significant risk to very young children.
"You have a low tolerance level to the behaviour of young children and you lose your temper and you are unsuitable to be left in sole charge."
At least, until they learn to be a bit more discerning in their choice of bed-warmer…

You are describing most of my neighbours!, it's like a jeremy kyle show most days here.
Once again Hull pops up on your radar.I've never been there,is it nice?
I noticed there were no comments on that story,I wonder why?
This generation always bleats "it's someone else,s fault".Who would be a social worker,at last a job with more critics than mine!
The link at the bottom of the newspaper story reveals that:
"Humberside police twice failed to charge Adam Hewitt with attacking a child despite being warned he was a danger by a judge."
That's disgraceful. Anyone who attacks children should be put out of circulation permanently.
Pond life breeding pond life. The world turns and the cycle continues...

It's easy enough to be conned by these psychos - look at those we vote in. Some Pandora has been the the press recently saying newly popped mothers should accede to sex even though they don't feel like it for the good of hubby. That's the kind of imposition we should stop on meddling with what goes on in homes. I'd guess the big problem in dealing with psycho-dumbo Hewitt and the rest is the ruck of false allegations around. We need new ways to cut through this. Education might help as most of us are clueless unless we had much younger siblings etc.
"Once again Hull pops up on your radar."
Like all predators, I'm lazy. Why go roaming, when you can wait by the chavscum waterhole..? ;)
"That's disgraceful. Anyone who attacks children should be put out of circulation permanently."
I suspect it's a case of the CPS dropping the ball again, by insisting there wasn't enough evidence.
"Some Pandora has been the the press recently saying newly popped mothers should accede to sex even though they don't feel like it for the good of hubby."
Good grief! I've missed that one...
Not just any old Pandora, this is the latest book from parenting guru Gina Ford, author of the baby-care manual du jour and frequent chat-show guest:
New mothers should make themselves have sex with their partner soon after giving birth – even if they do not feel ready, a childcare guru has claimed.
One section dedicated to sharing advice from other women even advises ‘sometimes you may just have to grin and bear it’.
(Daily Mail)
At the risk of being graphic, Ford actually seems to be concentrating on 'intimacy' and making sure the man does not feel neglected and left out - however, the Mail's interpretation is, perhaps, an indication of how her advice will be taken in, shall we say, less enlightened households.
this is the latest book from parenting guru Gina Ford
Noooooo, that would be the Gina Ford who tried to stop the saintly Heather Brooke (to whom we owe so much for exposing the MPs expenses scandal) reporting Ford's spat with Mumsnet.
I might not have much sympathy with Mumsnet but Gina Ford getting paid off because Mumsnet commenters made their opinion of her clear is a very good example of the constraint of free speech.
I do not regard Gina Ford as qualified to pass an opinion on childcare, let alone anything else. She is a media creation of little professional merit.
P.S. You'll note that Gina has not been forgiven for setting Tony Jaffa on Heather and getting her work pulled from the Times website. The scribbling sisters are lining up for the kill; you can hear the knives being whetted and the teeth being bared.
WOAR, you're right to question; having no knowledge of the woman except that a nephew of mine is being brought up according to the gospel of St Gina, I though I'd better check her out:

Well how about that! Not only does she have no relevant qualifications, she has NO CHILDREN of her own. A woman who has NEVER experienced what it's like to give birth is deciding how soon after delivery a new mother should have sex!
Sorry! It takes a great deal to reduce me to capital letters, but this is so monstrous there's no alternative; her advice, as reported via the tabloids, gives carte blanche to the most misogynistic, thuggish partner to insist on sex within weeks of the birth, however bruised, cut and sore - or emotionally traumatised - the mother may be.
It was bad sounding as if it came from someone who understood how a new mother feels; to find that she is pontificating from a position of total ignorance and inexperience is astonishing, to say the least.
