Video report by Samantha Parker.
A man and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of murder after the death of a baby from Cumbria.
The one-year-old baby boy was living with adoptive parents when he died and was still under the care of Cumbria County Council.
ITV Border can exclusively reveal that the council have referred themselves for an independent review.
On the 6 January this year, the North West Ambulance Service was called to a property in Cumbria.
The baby was initially taken to the Furness General Hospital but due to his critical condition he was transferred to Alder Hey Children s Hospital in Liverpool where he died the following day.
No-one should feel that they are alone and have to suffer in silence CUMBRIA S Police and Crime Commissioner, Peter McCall, is supporting the National Sexual Abuse and Sexual Violence Awareness campaign this week. The campaign aims to generate discussion among the general public, statutory bodies and third sector organisations about how sexual abuse and sexual violence is not OK. Mr McCall said: “I welcome the opportunity to raise awareness and support any campaign that helps to reinforce the message that sexual abuse and sexual violence is not OK. Starting conversations and promoting the ‘It’s Not OK’ message as wide as possible helps to empower victims and send out a clear message that in Cumbria, sexual abuse and sexual violence will not be tolerated.
