The mother of Baby P could be released from prison within weeks after the Parole Board rejected a government challenge against its ruling.

Tracey Connolly was jailed in 2009 after admitting causing or allowing the death of 17-month-old son Peter at home in Tottenham, north London, in 2007.

"The decision to release her demonstrates why the parole board needs a fundamental overhaul, including a ministerial check for the most serious offenders, so that it serves and protects the public," he said.

Baby P died on 3 August 2007 at the hands of his mother as well as her boyfriend, Steven Barker, and their lodger Jason Owen, who was Barker's brother.

Barker was jailed for life with a minimum term of 10 years for raping a two-year-old girl and given a 12-year term to run concurrently over his role in his death.

Owen got an indefinite sentence with a minimum term of three years, later increased to a fixed six-year term.

Over the final eight months of his life, Baby P received 60 visits from social workers, police and health professionals and was on the at-risk register.

She was given a minimum 5 year prison sentence. This was considered a travesty at the time but almost everyone in the UK. She was released (in 2013) and then broke her (licence) bail conditions and returned to prison in 2015.

Connelly is pure evil and should never be released, but for some reason the criminal justice system in England/Wales continues to favour the perp over the victim.
