:01:03. > :01:05.to be looking after her. Now a new report out today shows
:01:06. > :01:08.there were several missed opportunities by social services,
:01:09. > :01:15.health services and the police, to protect Poppy Widdison
:01:16. > :01:18.from Grimsby before she died. Laura Foster's been
:01:19. > :01:22.following this case. Three and a half years ago Poppy
:01:23. > :01:34.was found at her home What caused her death is still not
:01:35. > :01:39.known, but tests showed Poppy had ingested a cocktail of drugs for up
:01:40. > :01:42.to six months before her death - including heroin, sedatives,
:01:43. > :01:50.methadone and ketamine. Last month Poppy's mother
:01:51. > :01:53.Michala Pyke and Pyke's ex partner John Ritting were found guilty
:01:54. > :01:57.of child cruelty after feeding Poppy illicit drugs

:03:22. > :03:23.Serious Case Reviews mean lessons can be learned from what happened -
:03:24. > :03:26.but there are no guarantees something similar
:03:27. > :03:33.won't happen again. Some children are harmed by their
:03:34. > :03:38.appearance and that will continue to be the case. There is no way we can
:03:39. > :03:42.accurately predict this in severe cases and therefore we have to
:03:43. > :03:45.costly carry a difficult balance between supporting families and not
:03:46. > :03:48.wanting to intervene too much and yet at the same time recognising
:03:49. > :03:51.when there are risks. Tonight the charity,
