In 2009, Tracey Connelly was sentenced to jail for causing or allowing the death of her 17-month-old son, Peter. The tragic case of Baby P, as he was known, shook the nation when it was revealed that he had been tortured to death in 2007. Now, more than a decade later, his father has shared his relief upon hearing that Connelly has been recalled to prison after being released just two years ago.
Tracey Connelly, now 42 years old, was originally sent to prison for the horrific injuries that her son sustained while in her care at their home in Tottenham, north London. This is the second time she has been recalled to prison, having been initially freed and then sent back behind bars ten years ago. Baby P's father expressed his happiness at hearing the news, stating that he simply does not care about Connelly and that she can "go to hell" for what she did. He has moved on from her and she is no longer a part of his life.
A spokeswoman from the Prison and Probation Service confirmed that offenders released on licence are subject to strict conditions and will be recalled to prison if they break the rules. Baby P's father, however, was not informed of the reason for Connelly's recall, but he believes that it must be something serious.
Connelly's current situation is not looking good. The 60-year-old is reportedly in the hospital due to long-term health issues. Meanwhile, Baby P's father still visits his son's grave to remember him and grieves for the loss of his child. He will never forgive Connelly for what she did and the pain will never go away.
After being released on licence in 2013 and then recalled in 2015 for breaching her parole conditions, Connelly made another bid for release in 2019. This time, the Parole Board decided that she was suitable for release, despite rejecting her previous bids. They believed that she was at a low risk of committing another offense and that both probation officers and prison officials supported her release. However, they did express concerns about her ability to manipulate and deceive, as well as evidence that she had engaged in prison romances and traded love letters with an inmate. She even struck up a friendship with another child killer, Helen Cauldwell.
The man responsible for Baby P's death, Steven Barker, is still serving his sentence of at least 32 years in jail. His brother, Jason Owen, was also sentenced to six years in prison for allowing the toddler to die. Connelly's latest release was met with strict restrictions, including a curfew, electronic tag, and limitations on her relationships and movements.
Last year, a policy was found to be unlawful that prohibited prison and probation staff from recommending whether prisoners should be released to the Parole Board. This policy was introduced after Connelly's release and may have led to the wrongful release of other prisoners. Connelly will have to face another parole panel in the future if she wants to be considered for release again.
