Four children killed in house fire were so badly neglected they barely talked

Four children who died in a house fire had been so neglected that they barely talked at home and suffered dozens of injuries.

A serious case review into the way agencies worked with the family has been published today and noted how the kids were living in "utter chaos".

But professionals didn't question the evidence in front of them and just believed "the mother's word", the report reads, reports Birmingham Live.

Nursery staff flagged how one of them hadn't had their nappy changed since the previous night. The kids were also found with 50 injuries, marks or bruises in a 17-month period.
