The death of a seven-year-old Muslim girl of starvation has shocked Britons over failure of social workers to check on the young child, reported the Daily Mail on Friday, May 23.
"The fact the social worker was not allowed into the house should have set the alarm bells ringing," Labour MP Khalif Mahmoud said.
"There should have been a follow-up visit because no contact was made."
Khyra Ishaq and her five sisters and brothers were found starving to death at their home in Birmingham.
The 7-year-old Khyra was breathing her last when ambulance crews tried to resuscitate her.
The other kids, aged between four and 12, were lying on mattresses severely emaciated.
The children were withdrawn from school by their mother after being bullied for wearing a Muslim dress.
The mother was said to have made arrangements for them to be taught at home where she had lived on benefits for more than a decade.
Two weeks after their withdrawal, an educational social worker went to the children's house to check on them but got no reply.
Since then, no more visits were made.
"I'm absolutely flabbergasted by the incompetence of the council," said MP Mahmood.
The mother, which reverted to Islam two years ago, and her partner have been charged with neglect and remanded in custody till Wednesday.
Shock
The Labour MP said that an inquiry should be launched into the failure of the Birmingham City Council to check on the girl's conditions.
"There has been a complete breakdown of protocols and structures that should be in place."
"Clearly, they were significant failings."
The council said the city's Safeguarding Children Board would meet Friday to consider the case.
The child's tragedy has shocked many Britons.
"Why was this not prevented," asked neighbor Harjinder Kumar.
"We should not have let this happen."
Another neighbor stood stunned over the tragedy.
"When I heard this little girl had died I had to sit down - it was such a big shock," the mother of a two-year-old child told the Guardian.
Renata Palczewska, the mother of Khyra's colleague at Grove School, said she was shocked when she heard about the little girl's death.
"The teacher was almost in tears. She was very upset."

The article is from islamonline and probably uses the guardian article.
According to The Guardian the fault should always be the government (social worker in this case) and never a minority (step-father and monther).
According to Islamonline the fault should always be the non-muslims, western governments or representatives of the western governments (i.e. social workers) and never the muslims (step-father and his wife)
======
The bad (western) government did accuse mother and step-father of negligence and there is going to be a trial.....but there is no mention of it in the article, is there?
“Khyra's 33-year-old mother, Angela Gordon, a Muslim convert of Jamaican extraction, was arrested together with her partner, another convert styling himself Junaid Abuhamza. Aged 29, his original identity is unknown.”
Obviously the mother and stepfather is retarded idiots, both recently converted to Islam. Many Caribbeans is in deep shit about superstitions add Islamic superstition to that and a disaster is waiting to happen.
The likelihood that mentally stable persons convert to Islam is slim.
One can notice the claim in IslamOnline.net:
“The children were withdrawn from school by their mother after being bullied for wearing a Muslim dress.”
In the 3 articels from Guardian and the Telegraph I checked there is no mention of the children being bullied wearing a Muslim dress only claims of bullying.
“Local Labour MP Khalid Mahmood said Khyra had been withdrawn from school 10 weeks ago following claims of bullying”
Are they going to blame christians now for bullying. About time muslims recognised their antisocial misogynistic religion is a fabrication by a megalomaniac man.
