Samantha Brick: ‘Women like Baby P’s mum should be sterilised’

Following the recent news that Baby P’s mother would be released after serving less than 4 years for allowing the shocking death of her baby son, journalist Samantha Brick appeared on This Morning arguing that Tracy Connelly should never be allowed to be a parent again.

Speaking to presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, Brick argued:

'Take a step back and think about Baby P, Baby Keanu and Baby Hamza.’

'And all those children who have been killed at the hands - directly or indirectly - of their mums. Someone has to be a voice for them, to make sure what happened to those children - how they were tortured and eventually killed by their mothers - doesn't happen again.'

Samantha argued that women like Amanda Hutton should be sterilised, but Angela Epstein believes this should be controlled by social services

'It's black and white. These women killed their children should not be allowed to have more children.

'If you look at these women... they are probably not capable of looking after themselves, let alone capable of looking after children.'

Also taking part in the debate was Angela Epstein, who was speaking against the idea of rendering Tracey and others like her infertile.

Despite agreeing with Brick’s argument to strip these women’s right of being mothers again, Epstein argued the approach of sterilisation was ‘barbaric and inhumane’.

'These women are clearly unfit to be near children,' she said.

‘Angela went on to say she believed compulsory sterilisation set a 'dangerous precedent' had 'echoes of Nazi Germany.'

Last week Amanda Hutton, a mother of eight, was jailed for 15 years after she starved her four-year-old son (above) to death and left his mummified body in her home for two years.
