She was eight years old. She had crossed an ocean in search of a better life. Instead, she was failed by every single adult who was supposed to protect her. In February 2000, Victoria Climbié died after months of unimaginable suffering at the hands of her great-aunt, Marie-Thérèse Kouao, and Kouao's partner, Carl Manning. She had been tortured, starved, and left to sleep in a bin bag in a freezing bath. What makes Victoria's story so devastating isn't just the cruelty of those who harmed her... it's the trail of missed opportunities. Social workers visited. Doctors examined her. A police child protection unit was involved. A church offered help. At every turn, the warning signs were there. At every turn, someone looked away. This is the story of Victoria Climbié. A little girl who deserved so much more.
