Were there missed opportunities to save Preston Davey?

Article excerpt

Preston Davey was rushed to hospital three times before his adoptive father killed him, raising questions about whether doctors and social workers missed critical warning signs. The child's repeated emergency admissions, each potentially a moment for intervention, are now under scrutiny as authorities examine the gaps in safeguarding. The case highlights the tension between respecting parental authority and recognizing patterns of injury that might indicate abuse. Multiple agencies had contact with the family, yet the boy died at home. An investigation is underway to determine whether earlier action could have prevented his death.
