The Mirror


A DOCTOR who released Victoria Climbie despite believing she was abused, yesterday took the blame for the hospital's failings.

Dr Mary Rossiter said social services had not been told of her fears after the eight-year-old was admitted with scalding.

The girl returned to her abusers - aunt Mary Therese Kouano and her boyfriend Carl Manning - and died six months later.

Dr Rossiter, of London's North Middlesex Hospital, told the inquiry into the death: "I failed to realise that what seemed a clear cut case of child abuse had not been comprehended by social services."
