6. Victoria Climbie was sent to this country from the Ivory Coast in the hope of a better life, but within a year and a half she was dead, the victim of horrendous physical abuse. Victoria died as the result of the neglect and the vicious beatings meted out by her great aunt, Marie Therese Kouao, and her boyfriend Carl Manning. But she was also failed by social workers and others who could have stepped in to protect her. This poor little girl had scars all over her body, on the head, on the trunk, front and back, and on all four limbs Victoria died of hypothermia in February 2000. She had 128 injuries.
