Chances 'Missed' To Prevent Baby Death



Opportunities to prevent the death of an 11-month-old boy murdered by his mother were missed, an inquiry has found.



A serious case review has concluded Callum Wilson, who suffered broken bones, was blinded and sustained a brain injury, was let down by authorities. He died in March, 2011.



His mother, Emma Wilson, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 14 years in January for his murder.



The report found professionals missed many opportunities to intervene, and could have prevented his death.



The catalogue of failings identified included not sharing key information with other professionals, and not recognising the “potential significance” of bruising and scratching on a baby.
