A three-month-old boy was mauled to death by his grandmother̢۪s two pet dogs
yesterday while she was baby-sitting him.


Denise Wilson was left covered in blood as she desperately battled to save grandson
Jaden Mack after he was savaged by her Staffordshire bull terrier and Jack Russell.

Terrified Denise, 54, screamed out for help as the dogs bit at the baby's throat
while he lay in his moses basket at her home in Ystrad Mynach in South Wales.

A neighbour wrestled the dogs off Jaden and tried to give him the kiss of life.
But the baby was too badly injured and he died in Prince Charles Hospital in
Merthyr Tydfil shortly after the attack in the early hours of yesterday morning.

A foster mother has been struck off by a council after a teenage Muslim girl
in her care became a Christian.


The carer, who has ten years' experience and has looked after more than 80 children,
said she was "devastated" by the decision.


"This is my life," she revealed. "It is not just a job for me. It is a vocation.
I love what I do. It is also my entire income. I am a single carer, so that is all I have to live on."


The foster mother said she had recently bought a larger car and had been renting a farmhouse,
with a pony in a field, so that she could provide more disadvantaged children with a new life.

ARTICLE THREE:

Baby P chief speaks at last ... but there's no sign of an apology



Baby P chief speaks at last ... but there's no sign of an apology

The disgraced council boss sacked over the Baby P scandal is under fire for
failing to apologise for the toddler's death during her first interview since her sacking.


Instead, Sharon Shoesmith, the former £100,000-a-year head of Haringey
council children's services, blamed everyone but herself.


Among others, she attacked Ministers for their handling of the affair,
accused the Press and public of a witch-hunt and claimed she was blatantly
discredited by an independent inquiry.


And she described in self-pitying detail the tragedy's toll on herself and her family,
causing dismay yesterday among those close to the case.


Ann Walker, the childminder who repeatedly warned social services about the toddler's
pitiful condition, told The Mail on Sunday that Mrs Shoesmith should have
'either apologised or said nothing at all'.
