Baby P's father gets £75,000 libel damages from The People

BBC News - Baby P's father gets £75k libel damages from The People

Is this a case of an innocent man forced out of his child's life then sufffering a second time?

Or a feckless father who abandoned his child and deserved the people story and should now give the money to charity?

I guess the truth will lie between the two - but as ever with cuk let us not bring facts into a decent argument.

All uninformed speculation welcome.

I don't blame him for leaving that heartless munter of a wife, and I am astonished that he was ever able to impregnate her in the first place.

You invite comments about somebody who just won money in a libel lawsuit?

Informed non-speculation.

The people published an allegation that he was a convicted sex offender. It wasn't true. I'm surprised it was only £75k, I would have given him more.

AllI know is Mrs BP will be in a bad mood when I get home tonight. Baby BP was about 14 months when the news first broke - She thinks of baby P very often.

Also the father wasn't involved in the neglect of Baby P. He wasn't in the house at the time as it was Mum, Boyfriend and Boyfriend's brother who neglected him.

But why did father leave? Once he forced out or one of these feckless fathers who don't take any responsibility?

[northernladuk]

Forgetting the whole terrible case to do with Baby P the paper named him as a sex offender saying he had raped a 14 year old girl. Doing that alone is just outrageous. Double the 75Kthat and a hefty fine on the paper wouldn't have been out of order IMO.

But why didn't he notice the abuse when he had his visiting time?

Did he have any visiting time? It is quite easy for the RP to deny access to the NRP.
