What the petition asks
Please read the report: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-34074987 Zimbabwean-girl-clean-kneeling-scalding-water-soiled-herself.html. There has been no mention that this couple has been prosecuted nor in regard to the steps that the council has taken to avert a repeat of this.
The purpose of this petition is that the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Children and Families order an investigation into Lancashire County Council in regard to the ill-treatment, neglect & emotional and physical abuse of the young child of Zimbabwean origin.
More importantly, the incident must be investigated because the Mother of the Child in question, recorded as an asylum seeker may have left the country or feel powerless to seek redress because of her immigration circumstances.
