Invisible girl. (06 Aug 2006)
In 1999 Victoria Climbié came to Britain from the Côte d'Ivoire. Her great aunt, Marie-Thérèse Kouao, brought her, promising her parents she would make sure Victoria got a good education. Victoria never went to school in Britain. Instead she was tied up and made to sleep naked in a freezing cold bath, wrapped up in a rubbish bag with her hands and feet bound. When she died, on February 25th 2000, she had 128 injuries on her body, including cigarette burns, scars where she had been lashed by a bicycle chain and hammer blows to her toes. She was eight years old. Victoria's case was reported to three housing authorities, four social services departments, two police child-protection teams and a family help center run by the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. There have been 70 public inquiries into severe child abuse in Britain since the end of the second world war, most of which have pointed the finger at failures of communication between police, hospitals and social services. But the circumstances of Victoria's arrival in Britain cast light on a less familiar problem too: the growing number of West African children who, for various reasons, are being brought into Europe without their parents. Organized gangs across West Africa traffic in children with the collusion of government officials. A report by the British Agencies for Adoptions and Fostering estimates that there are around 10,000 children, most of them West African, living in Britain, as Victoria did, with private foster parents.Full Text Word Count:593D
