Article excerpt

Sarah Ngaba was sentenced to at least 19 years in prison for killing her two-year-old daughter Eliza in a fit of rage. The sentencing marks the conclusion of a case that exposed a tragic failure to protect a young child despite warnings from family and authorities. Ngaba's conviction represents one of the most serious charges a parent can face in the UK justice system. The case has raised questions about how social services and other agencies assess risk in vulnerable households.
