A report found the children were so badly neglected they only communicated by grunting and had sustained more than 50 accidental injuries over a period of 17-months before the fire.
A serious case review into the way agencies worked with the family said that while the children lived in utter chaos , professionals just believed the mother s word and didn t question the evidence in front of them.
Now Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire Safeguarding Children Board has concluded the actions of social care services fell short and the children suffered significant harm as a result of neglect .
The damning report published yesterday also found:
Mum of âneglectedâ four kids who died in fire âlaughed in faces of child protection officersâ
Natalie Unitt is refusing to accept that her kids were neglected despite them communicating by grunting .
