This judgment was delivered in private. The judge has given leave for this version of the judgment to be published on condition that (irrespective of what is contained in the judgment) in any published version of the judgment the anonymity of the children and members of their family must be strictly preserved. All persons, including representatives of the media, must ensure that this condition is strictly complied with. Failure to do so will be a contempt of court.
"In the 4-5 days prior to 30 th August 2016 D suffered a fractured right femur. He was non-mobile at the time and in the overall care of the Mother. In the absence of any plausible explanation as to how this injury occurred, it is likely that this injury was caused by a blow, impact or snapping action involving the infliction of significant force and is therefore a non accidental injury.
D's fracture would have caused him evident pain and distress and yet the Mother failed to obtain prompt medical attention for him, whether by herself or through another."
