JANUARY 2013: Sara is placed under a child protection plan at birth as Urfan Sharif is accused of assaulting three women, including her mother, as well as hitting and biting two children.
But she was allowed to stay with her father.
FEBRUARY 22, 2013: A month after Sarah’s birth, social services and the police were told that Sharif had slapped the child in the face.
Nothing was done.
MAY 7, 2013: A social worker noticed a burn on a child’s leg.
Sharif did not report the incident and claimed it was a barbecue accident. Nothing was done.
OCTOBER 7, 2013: A child was seen with a burn caused by a household iron.
Sharif told social services that the child hit the device.
No action was taken.
2013 TO 2014: The child told the social worker that Sharif broke the TV and hit Sara’s mother, Olga.
NOVEMBER 2014: Sara was accepted into a foster family after the child told a social worker about the bite mark.
But she later returned to live with her father after a family court hearing in October 2019, where social services recommended that Sara live with her father because that was her wish.
JANUARY 2015: Sharif was reported to social services for brandishing a knife in what he said was a zombie game at home.
Social workers noticed that Sharif was hitting and kicking Olga at home and threatened to kill himself.
FEBRUARY 2015: The child told their foster carer that Sharif used to hit them on the bottom with a belt.
In September of that year, the child was heard saying to Sharif: “When you’re at home, you hit and kick me every day.”
2015: Olga told social services that Sharif tightened a belt around her neck.
Around this time, social workers complained that Sharif was being coercive and degrading towards them.
Then a male social worker was appointed to the family.
DECEMBER 2016: The child told the social worker that he did not like Sharif because he hit them all over the body and left them with a lot of bruises.
Social workers saw Sara wince when Sharif told her during supervised contact and appeared surprised when he stroked her.
6 JUNE 2022: Sara was reported by a teacher to have a bruise under her eye, using the school’s online child protection monitoring system.
Sara didn’t want to say what happened at first, before later saying she was hit by another child.
But the social service was not contacted.
MARCH 10, 2023: Teacher saw bruises on Sarah’s face.
Sara said she fell on roller skates.
When she gave another story about the guard, the school referred social services.
Six days later, social services decided not to take any further steps.
It is understood that at this point there has been no contact between social services and Sarah’s family for four years.
Social services categorized this case as second priority and requested information from other agencies.
When nothing came back, the case was closed.
MARCH 20, 2023: A report was logged in the school’s internal system after Sarah’s stepmother Beinash Batool overheard her calling the children “mother, f***ing sister, cu**** and whore” on the playground.
But no details were passed on to social services.
MARCH 28, 2023: Batool claimed that the mark on Sarah’s face was caused by a pencil.
The teacher told the school guard.
APRIL 17, 2023: Sharif has decided to homeschool Sara.
School staff called the council for advice and were told they should provide a referral if there were any concerns.
The staff saw Sara later that day on the school drop off and she seemed fine so they decided to drop it, even though she had been beaten up earlier that day.
She was never seen outside the house again.
