Social workers have been criticised for failing to prevent the death of a two-year-old boy who drank his heroin addict mother's substitute drug.
Ashley Chadburn sipped from a bottle of methadone as Rachel Hipkiss smoked heroin in her home in December 2001. When he fell ill, she left him in the care of a 16-year-old addict and went Christmas shopping.
Hipkiss, 23, was jailed for six years after admitting to manslaughter at Sheffield Crown Court. An independent report into the case has accused social services of being "too tolerant of such serious drugs misuse".
In his report Roger Thompson, a former director of the NSPCC, makes 26 recommendations aimed at preventing a repeat. "There was not, in my view, a full and proper assessment of the mother's parenting capacity," he said.
The chairman of the Area Child Protection Committee, which commissioned the report, said that the committee had already implemented half of the recommendations.
An inquiry into the death of a two-year-old boy who swallowed a bottle of his mother's methadone found a "tolerance of drug misuse" among social services staff.
But the independent report concluded the tragic death of Ashley Chadburn, from Frechville, Sheffield, could not have been avoided.
The toddler died in December 2001 after finding an open bottle of the heroin substitute methadone.
Rachael Hipkiss, a heroin addict, is currently serving a six-year jail sentence for involuntary manslaughter.

Amongst the clouds and stars

Flying around excitedly
Filling up their baskets
With yummy eggs to eat

With lots and lots of love
To our special angels

THINKING OF YOU ALWAYS MY LITTLE FRIEND.xxx
What kind of place would heaven be with all its streets of gold, if all the souls, that dwell up there like yours and mine, were old? How strange would heaven’s music sound when harps begin to ring, if children were not gathered ‘round to help the angels sing. The children that God sends to us are only just a loan, He knows we need their sunshine to make the house a home. We need the inspiration of a baby’s blessed smile. He doesn’t say they’ve come to stay, just lends them for a while. Sometimes it takes them years to do the work for which they come. Sometimes in just a month or two our Father calls them home. I like to think some souls up there bear not one sinful scar. I love to think of heaven as a place where children are.

For those who suffer,
and those who cry this night,
give them repose, Lord;
a pause in their burdens.
Let there be minutes
where they experience peace,
not of man
but of angels.
Love them, Lord,
when others cannot.
Hold them, Lord,
when we fail with human arms.
Hear their prayers
and give them the ability to hear You back
in whatever language they best understand.
You are safe now little fella. Forever in our hearts xxx
What a beautiful little boy and you are a beautiful Angel now darling.This story has made me so sad you were only a baby u didnt deserve to be neglected. I hope you are happy up in heaven and are having a brilliant time. Sweet dreams gorgeous x x x x x
I AM HERE
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I am here...
Deep within your heart that yearns,
I am here...
I’m the flame that softly burns
And lights your way;
In the darkness of the night
I will be your shining light ...
I am here...
I am here...
In the misty morning dew,
I am here...
Standing closely beside you.
I’ll hold your hand ...
Let you feel a quiet peace,
I will be your sweet release.
I am here...
I am here...
In a haunting melody ...
I am here...
I will be that memory
That gives you strength.
When days are long
We’ll carry on...
I am here...
I am here...
As long as you do not forget,
I am here...
In your heart, I know, and yet...
It’s here I’ll stay,
I’ll never go,
We both will know...
That I am here....
. . . GIFT OF LOVE . . .
A gift of love was given,
For just a little while;
A gift of love and laughter,
In a precious little child.
Someone to steal your heart away,
A little hand to hold;
Tiny footprints 'cross your life,
Now left upon your soul.
The echoes of soft laughter,
The sweetness of that face;
The child who brought you so much joy,
Will never be replaced.
So take each loving memory,
Of that precious little child;
In knowing a gift came down from God,
If for just a little while.
