Investigations Underway After Toddler Starves to Death Following Father's Sudden Demise

Bronson Battersby's sister defends social services, stating they did what they could, as Lincolnshire County Council conducts a rapid review of the case.

Two-year-old Bronson Battersby starved to death in his Skegness home after his father, Kenneth Battersby, died from a heart attack around New Year.
Bronson's mother, Sarah Piesse, had not seen her son since November due to a row with Kenneth and regrets not being there for her son.
Bronson was known to social services and was classified as vulnerable, receiving monthly visits from a social worker. The social worker tried to visit the property on January 2 and 4 but received no response.
Bronson's sister, Melanie Battersby, does not blame social services or the police for the tragedy, stating they did what they could within their powers.
Lincolnshire County Council is conducting a rapid review of the case, and the Independent Office for Police Conduct is investigating the police's actions.
