In that case I reckon someone got in deep **** for this (professionally). It simply should never have been allowed to happen.

I imagine there will have been investigations etc. but they don't report on that side of it.

…there is a full review/report still being carried out by a safeguarding team and it will be published for public viewing when it’s complete…it’s something that I’d be really interested in and I’m going to look out for …

A massive inquiry will ensue where someone in social services will be hung out to dry. Meanwhile the "mother", out in four years. If it was up to me I'd make sure she was spayed like a dog before she's allowed to mix with normal humans.
