Baby P's mother jailed indefinitely

LONDON: The mother of Baby P, the toddler who died following an horrific campaign of abuse, was branded manipulative, self-centered and selfish by the judge who jailed her indefinitely on Friday.

The sentencing comes as a damning new report said the youngster's death should have been prevented.

Baby Peter's 27-year-old mother, who cannot be named, her 32-year-old boyfriend and lodger Jason Owen, 37, were convicted last year of causing or allowing his death in August 2007 at the age of just 17 months.
