Synopsis
A six-month investigation by the programme reveals the mistakes and missed opportunities that led to the death of a 17-month-old boy known only as Baby P.
He suffered horrific abuse but the same social work department that was criticised in the Victoria Climbie case never took him into care despite a number of warning signals and injuries.
