The only way I can follow this trial at all is to be quite clinical and detached. Whenever I stop and think about what they really did to him, and the pain and terror he would have felt… I can’t actually bear it.
Me too. One other thing i do also think is we need to learn a few lessons about the wide availability of porn and kinks in general. Sadly I dont think this kind of stuff just exists in a vaccuum. JV must have known what he was doing was wrong, wrong on every level.
Maybe instead of the media being so accepting of kinks and porn, there needs to be a few more negative voices condemning it?

my overwhelming urge right now is to want to go to his foster Mum and just wrap my arms around her. I cannot begin to imagine how she is feeling.

does anyone know who is attending court?

We need to learn lessons from stuff like this...... how on earth did these 2 abusers get accepted as suitable for adoption? And then why on earth werent they monitored properly?

As others have said the sheer number of bruises in 4 months is a massive red flag. Even for a toddler learning to walk, and falling over because of it. And letting a toddler into a hot tup? didnt these 2 idiots realise that this isnt sensible for a young child who cant regulate their temperature

I doubt it crossed their minds. They didn’t care about his safety and comfort. That’s become very clear.

A practicing pathologist of 39 years, never seen some of the injuries presented on a child throughout her entire career and that POS claimed every professional is wrong/has got it wrong.

That poor poor baby.

Agreed. Kinks is just another word for bleeping weird. How many men are watching this stuff that passes for ‘kinky’. Ugh.

Not his foster parents!

But his foster mother was brushed aside when she tried to raise the alarm. I'll bet she and her husband are destroyed by this, all of the dreadful details. It's unbearable for us - that woman held him and loved him and comfort him for the best part of a year, and let him go to a couple she thought would do the same. This must have torn the heart out of her.
I can't imagine being a foster parent, it must be so hard at times having looked after a child as part of your family and then have to hand them over to someone else. But you can imagine she was probably really pleased that Preston had been matched with his new parents, a nice middle class couple with a lovely house and respectable jobs. She will have thought he was going on to live a full life where he was loved and nurtured, after all surely anyone who undertakes the process of adopting must be serious about wanting a child in their lives. Instead she was pushed out, accused of "spoiling" Preston and not looking after him properly, all because this pair of absolute demons didn't want her poking around and raising concerns about the bruises and injuries.

Although I agree that porn has a lot to answer for and extreme sexual acts are becoming more normalised because of it, no where in the media accepts sexually abusing a child as normal.

I think what happens in cases like these is it starts with watching and acting out porn, it then gets boring for them and they have to become more extreme to get the same sexual kicks. And that’s what happened to poor Preston

This just keeps hitting me so hard. I think because he's the same age as my son. They are so trusting and loving and always looking for connection. Even with all they were doing to him, he could find happiness and strength. For some reason the cruelty they showed him upsets me more than the SA (which is obviously absolutely abhorrent), it's like they couldn't let him be happy between the assaults. Part of me wonders if death was kinder considering this could have gone on for years and years more.

That poor angel. I want to see this trial out because he deserves to have people know what happened to him.

My heart is so sad for him.

The number of parents or guardians who believe they can talk their way out of these situations, convinced they’re far cleverer than everyone else, is staggering.
I keep going back to JV’s account of Preston drowning in the bath. Did he really think the doctors would just accept this, that there would be no post mortem, let alone no searches of the house or checking of his phone?

He did fool enough people during the lead up though, so maybe he got too confident.

I mean this nonsense about a wide awake Preston jumping in his cot, holding onto JV’s arms standing opposite him? 13 month olds can’t jump. Preston wasn’t even walking at this point.

100% When you think what in reality they probably did to that baby to cause that injury or his chest infections and “breathing episodes/seizures” and yet multiple people accepted their version of events 💔 They would have definitely been emboldened. Beasts.

I think the post adoption care/process needs a serious overhaul unless it’s just the doing of one incompetent social worker in this case. Do they not do thorough checks afterwards? Unannounced visits? Or is that unrealistic as well 😒

You’d have to be a bleeping imbecile to not see and question the bruises all over that little boy’s head it’s not like they were hidden. A human bite mark is as obvious as it gets and I know that was on his little bum but I can’t stomach how that grub’s mother didn’t question it when she had Preston the day he died 🤬 She bathed him ffs. There are no excuses to be had for any of the adults involved in this sorry case.

Reading this today has been harrowing.
I keep thinking of my children at that age, the idea of inflicting any pain on them is beyond my imagination but the pain and suffering they subjected him to has brought me to tears again. His poor little body.
I hope they live a long time in fear in prison, never knowing when they will get the Ian Huntley or Watkins treatment. I hope every day is painful and fearful.

Raping children is not a 'kink', it's a crime.

Kink doesn't automatically equate depravity or abuse. A kink can be something as benign as liking your partner pulling your hair or wearing a certain material. It's like how BDSM is supposed to have a heavy emphasis on consent, safety and aftercare when done properly - but after it became more mainstream with internet porn and Fifty Shades, etc, the terms now also get exploited by the kind of people who seek an opportunity to abuse or harm others under the guise of being 'dominant' (but they actually have zero understanding or interest in what that is supposed to entail because they just fixate on the control aspect).

I do think the porn monopolies are definitely causing a rise in normalising extreme sexual behaviours and a lot of the 'free' porn available tends to be unrealistic and unhealthy, if not outright damaging in what in it portrays (because it's not meant to be a training guide as some people view it).

But I think it's a dangerous mindset to assume that having a stricter or more puritan culture will prevent sexual offences or crimes against children because we know from centuries of pre-internet history that that it's just not true. Abusers will find a way because it's almost always about power and control, not pornography. Scapegoating 'kink' as the cause just gives these people another front to point fingers at and hide behind to excuse their own heinous choices.

Where are people reading the trial? I have been using MEN but there isn’t as much detail as I’m seeing posted here.

Also - I am really confused by the description of Preston slumped over the cot. I’m imagining him standing and leaning over but it sounds like he’s not breathing (lips blue etc) - how is he in this position? Wouldn’t he move away if they’re not holding him? Or has he been forced into that position for so long he now can’t?

I just can’t picture what is actually happening to him. Altho I also feel like I don’t want to!

I was confused by this too, but my teacher friend told me that a lot of their heads of years aren't actually PGCE qualified. So they can't teach a class, but can do a head of year / SENCO type role as they are more pastoral. To teach a class, you do your PGCE.
To teach children you need Qualified Teacher Status QTS without this your role is support. SENCOs always have QTS because of the nature of their role which is far more than pastoral. I know this because I have been in the profession since Noah counted the animals on to the arc. Then tried to count children getting on a bus for a field trip. The arc was a successful count, the bus not so good.

See I'm torn.
I want them to live in absolute fear & terror that they'll be set upon, never a moments rest that walking to canteen, a prison visit, a prison course, courtyard exercise ...someone will harm them.
Enough to maim or even kill.
They might even remove themselves.
But I do wish them death & not a kind one. I'm just not sure if it should be sooner or later but I hope it's painful & weird.

But not before being sentenced, they & we need to know the outcome of this trial.
