1 August 2015: Liberty German taken to the Child Development Centre at St Anne's Hospital following two previous cancelled appointments. By this time he is probably suffering from fractured ribs and a broken back, paralysing him from the waist down.

In evidence she insists that the girl was moving his legs - something she had never mentioned before. Mother cancels appointment with Heath Visitor.
