Baby P's mum speaks about toddler's death for the first time after 18 years

Tracey Connelly, mother of Baby P, publicly acknowledged her role in the Killing of Peter Connelly for the first time during a parole hearing, admitting she poses a risk to children in her care.

• At a recent parole hearing, Tracey Connelly admitted to being a bad mother and acknowledged her role in the Killing of Peter Connelly, which shocked the nation in 2007.
• Connelly was sentenced in 2009 for causing or allowing the death of her son Peter, who died at just 17 months old in their Tottenham home, leading to significant scrutiny of social work practices.
• The parole board is currently evaluating Connellys release, despite her admission of risk regarding children, which raises questions about the effectiveness of child protection measures in North London.
