Clive Redley for the Intervenor, Mr B (partner of Mother and proposed Special Guardian)
TAN is now just over 4 years old.� He has lived in foster care since October 2017.� In December 2018 I made findings that his mother had inflicted a traumatic injury upon another child in her care at the time, a baby called Kim.� Kim died because of her injuries.� This event prompted the removal of TAN into foster care and the issue of these proceedings.� Prior to this tragic incident the family were not on the local authority radar.� There was no suggestion that TAN was anything other than properly cared for.
In July 2019 the mother was convicted of manslaughter after a trial.� She was subsequently sentenced to a 6-year term of imprisonment.� She is currently serving that term.�
TAN�s father has played no active role in these proceedings.� The male figure who featured in TAN�s life before he was placed in foster care has been joined as the third respondent, Mr B.� He is the mother�s partner and has been for some time.� He has stood by her throughout these events and significantly has offered himself as an alternative carer for TAN.
After the fact finding hearing I found the threshold crossed in relation to TAN.� The issue remaining is what orders, if any, I should make to secure TAN�s future welfare.
