Social workers raised concerns about the boys, both aged under four, after they spotted bruising on the lads. A mum who allowed her two young boys to sleep in the same bed as her has had them removed from her care. Judge Peter Greene said the children’s mother had failed to act on advice about “co-sleeping” from childcare professionals and disregarded advice about feeding.
Judge Greene said proceedings began after the older boy’s leg was bruised when he was a few months old. The judge had concluded that the bruising had been “inflicted by the (boys’ father) but unintentionally as a result of using excessive force”. He had also concluded that the boys’ mother was “was ignoring advice against co-sleeping”. Social workers had been told to supervise and support the family. Professionals had then become concerned about the younger boy. Checks revealed bruises and a broken wrist when he was months old.

Paediatrician David Southall was struck off the medical register after twice accusing parents of murdering their children. He was called before the GMC again over a further series of allegations, which were found to be proved last month. Five mothers whom he wrongly accused of deliberately hurting, and in one case killing, their children, gave evidence to the hearing. Their accounts gave a chilling insight into the consequences of so-called "sleep study" tests that he conducted on 4,500 of his young patients during the eighties and nineties.
