“This was very well researched and presented. A tragic death of a little boy, another case of police looking no further than their prejudices. As ever, the mother blamed by a lot of men….police, the deadbeat drug dealing father, the media. Who knows how many other children & women were...”Read full review »

“Extraordinary reporting. We’ve all heard about (many have experienced) abused and neglected children for decades. Nothing ever changes for them. How can we do better?”

“As the juror said at the end, 30 years ago and what has changed.
Post Covid, 13 years of austerity , poverty levels to be ashamed of as a country , mental health resources barely scratching surface , social care planning not remotely off the ground, and the Westminster bubble looking ever...”Read full review »

“Thank you for bringing this awful tragedy to light and to all those who played their part in unravelling the mystery and delivering Justice. Sadly we are seeing lost generations growing up scrabbling around to exist and losing themselves in drugs and alcohol, seeking comfort in any form. When...”Read full review »

“This podcast was sensitively researched and presented. However the credibility of the podcast was somewhat undermined by the final episode, a discussion with “experts” to few of whom were able to grapple analytically with the core tension in child protection aka what criteria do we use to remove...”Read full review »

“I don’t normally listen to crimes involving children but this was a really interesting, well presented pod. Thank you for not going into detail about the crime. This was a really satisfying listen as we got the complete story, we heard it all through to the conviction of the perpetrator. Loved...”Read full review »

“Fantastic storytelling about a devastating case, however, the US stream features commercials for KidzBop which is highly inappropriate considering the content.”

“Horrifying and devastating case. Gripping story. They could’ve had more understanding for the mother who was in desperate need of support, or the broader social issues. Overall very well reported though.”

“Exceptional reporting please listen it’s fantastic. As a social worker I was so pleased to hear the being frank and honest with people. We are currently being so politically correct and making sure people are not offended that some cases are like watching the slow motion train wreck. I do not...”Read full review »

“Very well done with emotion, facts and honest opinion.
Being an ex Police Officer who worked on many murder investigations I am truly shocked at some of the failings discovered in the first investigation.
Blinkers can by very costly.
5 stars.”

“So much of this podcast enraged me. Despite the mother being cleared and the real killer found - the podcast focuses a huge amount of energy on blaming his mother - a single woman raised in care with no support system and addiction who had been begging for help. It is no surprise that she...”Read full review »

“Brilliantly researched and very well told. I happened to hear an episode on the radio as I was driving and was so absorbed by it I looked up the rest and listened to all 10 episodes over 2 days.
A sad story but one where the truth has finally been told. All credit to Winifred Robinson for this...”Read full review »
