Custodial dad, step charged in beating murder of 8-year-old daughter; dad gained custody 2 months before girl's death (Helsinki, Finland)

No explanation as to why this girl went into foster care, or why the mother lost custody. But we certainly see Daddee Glorification here, which is the assumption that any scumbag sperm donor must be great.

In reality, it appears that UNNAMED DAD and his gal pal began abusing (torturing) this girl almost immediately, and she died withing two months of Daddy getting custody. Who wants to take responsibility for giving this killer dad custody? Let's see the names.

Homicide of 8-year-old sparks police investigation into possible negligence by child welfare officials

Father and stepmother charged with murder

A murder case in which the victim is an 8-year-old girl and the defendants are her father and her father’s girlfriend is leading to a police investigation into possible criminal negligence by Helsinki child welfare officials.

The head of the investigation, Detective Superintendent Antti Leppilahti did not want to specify the number of possible suspects or their positions in the city’s Social Services department.

A number of reports had been made by neighbours to child welfare officials about poor treatment of the girl.

The victim, who had previously lived with her mother, had been taken into foster care two years ago. She had been placed in the custody of her father about two months before her death in early May.

The father and his girlfriend are charged with assault and battery, deprivation of freedom, and murder in a trial which began last week.

Police say that the girl had been repeatedly confined to bed, wrapped in a sheet and taped in place, until she finally died of asphyxiation.

Both defendants admit to the actions that caused the girl’s death. However, they will admit only to aggravated assault and battery and aggravated negligent manslaughter.
