Why this petition matters

Started by Susan Blackburn

A law dedicated to Arthur must be a legacy of Arthur Labinjo-Hughes.

Arthur was a beautiful, 6-year-old boy who was abused by his father and stepmother.

We need an intensive, ‘no stone unturned’ investigation as to why Arthur was not removed from that unsafe household and placed within a happy, nurturing, loving home. Arthur was mentally and physically abused, starved, poisoned and beaten to death. Social services and the police had been contacted due to other family member concerns.

We need a law to ensure that government establishes a database of ‘at risk children’ for social workers, police, teachers, the health care system and other directly linked services to come together, communicate and safeguard our children.

The child’s safety is paramount and when concerns are raised, the child should always come first and be removed from the care of those adults.

We have to do something now because this seems to keep happening to children and it is not good enough.

Please join and sign this petition to ask the government for an in-depth review of what happened to Arthur and request that the findings and change in the law is in honour of Arthur, so we never forget this little boy, ever.
