How anyone can think they can get away with this is beyond me. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ArtieShaw@kbin.social 58 points 3 years ago (2 children) The companion story: Hospital bosses ignored months of doctors' warnings about Lucy Letby suggests that not only did hospital management ignore the problem for almost 9 months, they had no interest in involving the police or outside investigators. They even required two of the doctors to apologize to her for their accusations. So I guess she was getting away with it just fine. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ultranaut@lemmy.world 39 points 3 years ago (1 child) I don't know how the hospital administrators live with themselves. According to that article, if they had acted when they were warned they could have potentially prevented 5 assaults on infants, including 2 murders. Babies were murdered because they tried to cover up what was going on instead of stopping it. It's truly monstrous and they should face consequences. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] hglman@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 years ago They should, and I suspect they just don't care. Our world needs to make leaders face the consequences. permalink fedilink source parent [–] AstroViking@lemmy.world 14 points 3 years ago (1 child) Every one of those involved in shushing it up need naming and prosecuting. They won't be though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] greenskye@lemm.ee 10 points 3 years ago If more people went to jail for ignoring issues or covering them up we'd see less of this kind of thing taking so long to get resolved. permalink fedilink source parent [–] HipPriest@kbin.social 8 points 3 years ago There was actually someone similar in the news when I was growing up, Beverly Allit. I remember seeing stuff about that on the local news because it wasn't that far away from where we were. It's pretty terrifying, the idea that you can just be leaving your children in the hands of people like this permalink fedilink source parent
