After Peter was returned to his mother, Connelly got a new house in Tottenham, continuing to conceal the fact that she was living with Barker. By this time, O'Connor says, her daughter had grown apart from the boy. "She smothered them when they were babies, but as soon as they became toddlers they kind of had to fend for themselves. But I was brought up the same."

Such decisions must take into account the fact that children in care come bottom of the league in almost every social indicator, including educational achievement, employment and drug abuse. And what incentives can galvanise negligent parents whose main ambition is to hoodwink the authorities? In the absence of strong communities and family support networks, local councils are shouldering a burden of social outcomes that grows more daunting with each new generation of damaged children. In too many cases, the damage is fatal. In December 2006, when he was nine months old, Peter was admitted to hospital with head injuries. Despite her concerns, O'Connor did not tell the authorities that Barker was living with her daughter. "They asked me if he lived here and I said I can't answer, I don't live here, but he's here more often than I am. To me, that's enough for you to see what I'm saying to you." In the event, she and Connelly were arrested for assaulting Peter and the boy was placed in the care of a family friend for six weeks. The police told them they were not pursuing the case three days before Peter's death.

According to O'Connor, Connelly was bullied as a child. "But a lot of the bullying, to be quite honest with you, was her fault. She made herself the victim. I don't know why. She was a strong girl." She was pregnant 11 times, but only gave birth successfully twice. The first was a boy; four years later she had Tracey. The second child was from a different father. He told police that he had 16 children and has said that he fathered Tracey in a one-night drunken fling that took place while Cox was present in the house. O'Connor disputes this account. The Connellys and the Barkers were two families that were always unlikely to heal each other's brutalised psyches and self-inflicted wounds. When they came together, they instead turned a grim domestic drama into a social tragedy that reverberated far beyond the squalid confines of their semi-detached Tottenham home. A short and tragic life Working shower!– Complete with an exclusive 11cm BABY born Surprise doll with colour-changing hair when you wash her with iced water, using the shower included. I didn't think much of him," says O'Connor, "and I still don't. But he was a good provider. She had everything within reason. He did three shifts and he cooked, cleaned and washed her clothes. He even gave her a lovely home, even though she got it through the council. And he wasn't violent or anything like that."

For a while, they also took in a young girl who was having problems at home. She helped around the house and O'Connor claims that the girl referred to Connelly and her husband as "mum and dad". The girl, now a young woman, has since become the partner of Connelly's husband.I wasn't an alcoholic or anything," says O'Connor, who is a regular cannabis user and was described by one police officer involved in the case as a "park-bench drunk", "but I liked a good drink when I used to get my money. I'd give Tracey some money to go to stay with a friend." If indeed the best staff have now lost their jobs, what does that say about those who remain at Haringey? In the rush to purge the borough of those involved in the Baby P case, has the level of child protection competence been lowered?

Bubbles everywhere during bath time!Put your doll in the bathtub in the evening, lather them up well, and carefully rinse them down with the showerhead. The marriage broke up when Connelly met Barker and he began hanging around the family home near Green Lanes in north London. "I mean," says O'Connor, "can you imagine going home to your wife after a full day shift and finding a bloke lying on your settee as if he owned the house, waiting for dinner?" I think she was in a fog," says the social worker, "because it was like that sometimes. We used to call it 'Nam' – 'Tott Nam'. Because it was just constant. You'd come out sometimes and you'd be absolutely exhausted. You'd think, 'Oh, I've lived another day'."
