SIR – In light of what happened to Baby P, the six-figure sum being paid out to Sharon Shoesmith, the former head of Harringey children’s services in London, is disgusting beyond belief.
In my view Miss Shoesmith messed up big time, and a child died a horrible and cruel death.
It was her responsibility to have overseen the protection of this unfortunate child.
In my opinion she failed in her duty.
