Thats exactly what I thought if preston was with her that morning then surely she would have noticed all these bruises and damage to his bum when changing his nappy? I hope the mum has made a statement of some sort, she spent time with preston and made comments like that surely she should have been questioned?

Grandmother bathed him in morning, Varley claims he bathed him again as he’d been sick plus Varley wanted to take a shower at the same time so he could watch the baby in the bath.
I think grandma has suspicions of physical abuse (bruises) or just for their general parenting skills - possible the comment came from that or the comment came from a space of “I’d of never left a baby alone in the bath for any reason” type of thinking.
Regarding the damage to his bum (I feel sick even writing this) my opinion was this was done when he was returned back to Varley’s care and during the lead up to this incident.
Not saying this was the first time he did anything like this, but it could be possible that he timed his assaults where grandma wasn’t going to be able to see the aftermath for want of a better word

Not defending them, but Just to say where they lived at the time it is less than a mile to the hospital, they thought it would be quicker, I would also think it quicker if I was in that situation.
Two things stood out for me from that video.
He said that Preston couldn’t stand or lift himself up because of his arm. Is that the arm you broke you histrionic piece of tit?
When they asked who John was he referred to him as baby boys daddy. Baby boy? The fact that he referred to him as that rather than by his name or as his son says a lot I think.

Yep! A dbs check is not really worth the paper it's written on as its only valid up until the point it is published. After that some places dont want one until 3 years after.
I keep seeing all these videos being released. Is this normal during a trial? I thought it was after the verdict they released everything?
Most will have to be on a rolling update service now, where it’s reviewed every year and can be checked by prospective employers/professionals at any time. I work with children and they won’t employ with just the standard DBS. But yes I agree it only highlights things you've been caught for.
I’m wondering about the footage too- I thought we weren’t supposed to be privy to things like that whilst a trial is ongoing?

And in-between the baths, Preston was filmed struggling to breathe?
There's no set time frame for DBS rechecks sadly. Schools can choose to do them as often (or not) as the like. In theory, a teacher could have a DBS from appointment and then never get rechecked at all whilst in post in the same setting.
The update service can help, but its not mandatory to sign up.
Bath tub with separate glass shower cubicle.
Yes! I thought that too. Classic ‘distancing language’. I hope his mother will give evidence.
watching this I want to smack him into next week, so self absorbed and selfishFootage and photos of Varley being hysterical at the hospital in this article:
Moment teacher accused of 'murdering baby' wailed 'it's my fault'
Jamie Varley, 37, collapsed to the floor and pleaded with hospital doctors to 'kill me' after being told 13-month-old Preston Davey was not going to survive.www.dailymail.com
Completely agree with this. The adoption worker seemingly treated them with kid gloves, hence telling them “You did the right thing
” instead of considering one of the A&E visits as a massive red flag.Almost like, being two men, she expected them to be clumsy and inept at caring for a baby.
The bar for a female stay at home parent wouldn’t be so low IMO.
I think she had an inkling that they were clueless and making a lot of mistakes.
I do believe that men lack the same nurturing instincts that women have.
I remember the first time I ever left my firstborn in the care of her dad while I went out for the evening. She was about a year old, and I came home to her with a cut under her eye. She slipped and bashed her face on the edge of a plastic toy box. I remember thinking then “it wouldn’t have happened on my watch FFS”.
Edit: it hadn’t occurred to me that she mignt have seen evidence of physical and sexual abuse, but that’s also true.
That was a really difficult to watch. He is still coming across as a practiced manipulator. It feels like a textbook DARVO move: positioning himself as the victim rather than focusing on Preston and Preston’s care in that moment. He should have wanted all hands on deck, not three-quarters of the hospital staff hovering around him.
I suspect the dramatics were largely intended to make it harder for anyone to question or scrutinise the details of what actually happened.

Two things I’m wondering
1) if any other abuse is going to come out from JV since he was in a position of power with other vulnerable people.
2) who little Preston’s body was released back to I presume his birth family but how awful

I thought this too, at the start of the video Preston hadn’t been declared dead yet but JV was still happy to have multiple nurses crowding round him pandering to his histrionics when any other parent would want all those nurses with Preston doing everything possible to save him.
In terms of the video JV recorded of Preston struggling to breathe on the day of his passing, and them both taking so long to get him to hospital, i suspect it wasn’t the first time poor Preston was in that state.
Only this time, it was a final step too far and he couldn’t recover.
That vile pos (or both of them), SA’d him regularly and were more than likely used to seeing him struggle to breathe (I feel sick even typing that).

What a disgusting comment. Are you for bleepin real?. Get your head out of your a! The only person / people that are responsible for this boys death ARE NOT the 'fag hags' as you put it . Vile comment
