2 November 1991:
Victoria Adjo Climbie is born near Abidjan, the Ivory Coast.
November 1998:
Seven-year-old Victoria Adjo Climbie leaves Abobo in the Ivory Coast to lives
with her aunt, Marie-Therese Kouao initially in Paris. Kouao takes the girl to
London after she is pursued by French authorities over benefit payments.
April - June 1999:
On arrival in England, Victoria's name is given as Anna because of the
assumed identity on the false passport used to get her into Europe.
Kouao takes a job as a hospital cleaner and the pair initially live in a hostel
in north London. Some weeks later Victoria is on a bus with her aunt when they
meet Carl Manning, the driver, for the first time.
July 1999:
Kouao and Victoria, who speaks no English, move into Carl Manning's home in
Tottenham, north London. Within days, Victoria would be suffering abuse at the
hands of Carl Manning. That abuse would lead to her torture and death.
14 July 1999:
Kouao: Pretended to care for Victoria
Victoria makes her first visit to the Central Middlesex Hospital after the
daughter of her childminder suspects the girl has non-accidental injuries. The
doctor accepts Kouao's story that Victoria has inflicted the wounds on
herself by scratching at scabies sores.
During this period, doctors alert child protection authorities as a precaution.
Haringey social worker Lisa Arthurworrey and PC Karen Jones are assigned to the
case. They later cancel a home visit scheduled for 4 August after hearing about
the scabies.
24 July 1999:
Victoria is taken to North Middlesex Hospital's casualty department with
scalding to her head and face. Doctors immediately suspect that the injuries
have been deliberately inflicted.
Kouao tells Lisa Arthu4worrey and PC Jones that she poured hot water over
Victoria to try and stop her scratching her scalp. She says that Victoria caused
other injuries with utensils.
6 August 1999:
Victoria is discharged from the hospital and is collected by Kouao after her
explanation for the injuries is accepted by child protection authorities.
October 1999
Trial evidence reveals that from October 1999 until the following January, Carl
Manning forces Victoria to sleep in a bin liner in the bath every night at this
flat.
1 November 1999L:
Kouao tells social workers that Carl Manning has sexually assaulted Victoria.
She withdraws the accusation the next day. PC Jones is asked to investigate why
but takes no further action after her letter to Kouao remains unanswered.
24 February 2000
Victoria is rushed to North Middlesex Hospital suffering from a combination of
malnutrition and hypothermia. Doctors later transfer her to an intensive care
ward at St Mary's Hospital in west London.
25 February 2000:
Victoria is declared dead at 3.15pm at St Mary's Hospital.
Dr Nathaniel Carey, the Home Office pathologist who examines her body, finds 128
separate injuries and scars, many of them cigarette burns, and describes them as
"the worst case of child abuse I've encountered".

Precious Child
by Karen Taylor Good
In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
'Cause you are with me still
In my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart
In my plans, I was the first to leave
Precious child, precious child
But in this world, I was left here to grieve
Precious child, my precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart there is hope
And you are with me still
In my heart you live on
Always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon,
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart
God knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And maybe there's a heaven
And someday I will again
Please know you are not forgotten until then
In my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

***THE GARDEN OF PROMISE***
There is a place, I have been told,
Beyond an open gate
All have been invited
Where friends and loved ones wait
It holds eternal promise
Of everlasting peace
No pain or sorrow ever comes
And teardrops there have ceased
Abundant life is evident
Constant, fresh and new
A garden of provision
With eternity in view
The promise is awaiting
A place we can abide
Fulfilled for all who answer
The call to come inside.

HAPPY EASTER VICTORIA
(\__/)

(")_(")
The sky is full of bunny clouds
So soft and fat and white,
I wonder if they're hiding eggs
For angels to find with delight.
Because angels like Easter as well,
you know,
And there's no reason why
There shouldn't be an Easter hunt
In meadows in the sky.

The tiny bunny
Is working all day long
Decorating Easter eggs
While humming a song
He is having so much fun
Making eggs for you and me
And small chocolate bunnies
That he gives away free
But when he is finished
He'll bring them your way
In a big coloured basket
Upon Easter day
Sending lots of floaty kisses your way xxxxx * . * * . * * . * * . * * . *

Heaven
Heaven would not be Heaven
Without the children there,
Playing hide and seek in pearly mists
Free from every pain and care.
Heaven would not be Heaven
Without their carefree rapture,
Scrambling through the fluffy clouds
Each happy moment to capture
Heaven would not be Heaven
Without their shouts and laughter
Echoing across Elysian fields
As starbursts they chase after
Heaven would not be Heaven
Without their joyful choir
Ringing through celestial realms
Sweet voices rising ever higher
Heaven would not be Heaven
Without their radiant light,
Undimmed by earths murky shades
Their robes shining bright.
Heaven would not be Heaven
Without their smiles of pleasure,
Bearing sheaves of rainbow flowers
The children are Heaven's treasure.
