Baby P doctor flees.
One for AOG:
// A doctor accused of failing to spot that Baby P was being abused fled the country this morning ahead of a hearing where she is charged with misconduct.
Rebecca Poulet, QC, prosecuting for the GMC said that Dr Al-Zayyat was seen by a psychiatrist on Friday but had since left Britain.
The GMC’s fitness to practice panel, sitting in London, has adjourned to consider whether the public hearing can continue in the doctor’s absence. //
Let rip...

This case (and unfortunately, a number of others) highlights a problem which no politician, the police, the medical profession or social services can sort out.
It might sound like a simple problem to resolve, but when you think about what's involved - it becomes very, very complicated...and it's this:
There's almost no way or joining up information between the different services. They will record information on different database solutions, possibly on different platforms, and a red flag raised on one, would not necessarily be flagged on another.
Then there's the problem of ensuring that data is kept up to date, and more importantly, is accurate.
It is an absolute technical nightmare.
This is why when cases like this happen, it's much more satisfying to have an identifiable person to blame, because if we all sat back and thought about how to ensure it would never happen again, we'd get nosebleeds from overthinking it.

The Daily Mail loves the following stories:
1. Anything to do with an illegal immigrant commuting a crime.
2. Anything anti-BBC.
3. Anything anti-Jonathan Ross
4. Anything anti-Muslim.
Please don't mistake my derision for the Daily Mail for anything else, because you can bet they jumped up and high-gives when they realised a) they could sell some more papers using this sad case, and b) an Asian is 'the bad guy'.
Not to realize this is naive.
