PLEASE NOTE.....you can google this childs name and the news report will show!





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".

Thinking of you at Christmas Victoria

It soon will be a special time, the trees, the presents the lights
Excitement’s in the air, with all the smells and sights
But sudden sadness draws upon, a feeling I can’t explain
For somewhere in my tummy, I feel an awful pain
I sensed a light that shone so bright
That suddenly’s not there……….
Where did you go, sweet baby girl, I need to know you’re there
Somehow the pain makes sense, when I see your beautiful blonde hair
I thought about you hard last night, pictured your sweet face
And in my heart I felt something, that increased its beating pace
What is this feeling inside, the one that don’t make sense….
Guilt, anger and rage are they? ……………its making me so tense
I tried and tried to understand, what you did so wrong,
But nothing seems to make me see, why you suffered for so long
This Christmas time I’ll think of you, in everything I do,
I hope you heard my prayer last night, a special one for you
Its sends some Christmas love your way, and shows you are the one
Whose soul’s embraced by all the mums, who wish you were their daughter.
I’ve got a special gift for you, I hope you like it so
It’s the feeling of love and warmth, something you never did know
If you look around, you’re sure to find it, I know you’re pretty smart…
It’s waiting for you in the perfect place……
DEEP INSIDE MY HEART

xxxxxxx
I will be thinking of you this Christmas Victoria.

________0___We're wondering what Christmas in Heaven _______000__is like
_______000__As we grieve alone and pray,
_______000__longing for one who has gone before
_______000__To spend Christmas in Heaven today..
________I___
_______000__And so in our dreams we wander far
_______000__From the scenes and sounds of earth
_______000__‘Til we catch the strains of the Heavenly _______000__choir
_______000__As they sing of the Christ Child's _______000__birth. .
_______000__
_______000__The Angels we envision there
_______000__As they join in the festive play
_______000__And there amid the throng is our Loved One
_______000__Spending Christmas in Heaven today..
_______000__
_______000__There's joy in the faith that teaches
_______000__When our life's work is done
_______000__Of a place in Heaven awaiting
_______000__And the crown we worked for is won..
_______000__
_______000__In our grief may we learn well the lesson
_______000__So to work and suffer and pray
_______000__As to merit the joys of our loved one
_______000__And to spend Christmas together some day.
MERRY CHRISTMAS angel in heaven

I Am Always With You
When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do,
You mustn't tie yourself to me with too many tears,
But be thankful we had so many good years.
I gave you my love, and you can only guess
How much you've given me in happiness.
I thank you for the love that you have shown,
But now it is time I traveled on alone.
So grieve for me a while, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
That it is only for a while that we must part,
So treasure the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away for life goes on.
And if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I will be near
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All my love around you soft and clear
And then, when you come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and a "Welcome Home".
