00:00Well this is a horrendous case and there's failures right through the system and clearly we need to have a long hard look at the system
00:06and make sure it's operating more effectively in the future.
00:08And this is social services but also the courts, a series of failures.
00:13But these are very isolated cases of course, tragic, abhorrent case of abuse of children and partners in this particular situation.
00:24We need to make sure any provision, any changes we make are proportionate.
00:28The vast majority of parents don't carry such horrendous abuse of their children.
00:33They're good parents and we've got to make sure we trust parents to do the right thing
00:38rather than bringing knee-jerk responses to changes that will have impacts on every single parent in the UK,
00:44not just parents like this who horrendously abuse their children.
