By learning about cases like Amina-Faye's, we can better understand the signs of abuse and take action to protect vulnerable children. This story is a tragic reminder of how some children suffer at the hands of those who are supposed to protect them.

The case highlights the importance of being vigilant about child abuse and ensuring that children have a safe and loving environment.

This is a troubling story about a baby girl who suffered extreme abuse from her parents.

Amina-Faye Johnstone was just eight weeks old when she passed away in April 2019. Her parents, Naomi Johnson and Benjamin O'Shea, were found guilty of causing her serious harm.

Paramedics found Amina-Faye unresponsive. Despite their efforts to revive her, she was declared dead at the scene. At first, it wasn't clear what had caused her death, but further examinations revealed a shocking truth.

Doctors discovered that Amina-Faye had more than 60 broken bones, including 41 fractures in her ribs and 24 in her arms and legs.

The injuries were not the result of an accident. Someone had used significant force over a period.

The parents tried to blame the paramedics for the injuries, but evidence showed otherwise.

Her parents, Naomi Johnson and Benjamin O'Shea had a history of being violent and abusive.

They were found guilty of causing or allowing Amina-Faye to suffer serious physical harm. The judge described their actions as "monstrous crimes".

The subsequent inquiry and care review highlighted critical failures and lessons in safeguarding vulnerable children.

There were missed opportunities by health and social care professionals to identify and intervene in the abuse Amina-Faye was suffering.

Significant gaps in communication were found between different agencies responsible for Amina-Faye’s welfare, including social services, healthcare providers, and law enforcement.

The case underscored the need for greater vigilance and better training for professionals to recognise signs of abuse and take timely action.
