Abiyah's birth in 2016 was signed up however he was not seen by medics or experts after 2018 and his death in January 2020 went undetected. Officials just found the boy had actually died nearly three years later on, after authorities were asked to perform a welfare look at the couple.

They confessed burying him in the garden after laying with his body for eight days in the hope he would be reincarnated.

When his remains were exhumed, he was discovered to have had severe malnutrition, rickets, anaemia and stunted growth thanks to his restricted diet. His decaying teeth were falling out and he had five fractures that would have caused terrible discomfort.

The review said the case demonstrated the need for 'professionals to be confident to ask concerns about various cultures and belief systems without worry of being viewed as prejudiced'.

The review said their hostility towards those in authority caused the focus of professionals to be 'diverted or sidetracked' from the children's well-being while the couple's numerous name modifications and aliases made it harder for firms to track and share information successfully.

It kept in mind that Abiyah 'was just ever seen by a little number of experts during his lifetime, and for a minimal time just'.

According to records, he was seen by a health visitor in April 2016 shortly after his birth, and the following month for a check-up.

There was some contact in 2018 with a regional authority social worker in London and 4 visits to a kids's centre in Birmingham, but the evaluation said: 'Records of these contacts and interactions are really restricted, enhancing that there was very little insight into (Abiyah's) existence, health or welfare.'

Abiyah's moms and dads' trial heard cops went to the Clarence Road residential or commercial property in Handsworth three times, consisting of in February 2018 when Abiyah lived.

The evaluation specified that with regard to this visit 'no information were recorded' about Abiyah, with his presence 'nearly undetectable on evaluation of records'.

Elsewhere, the review noted 'no exploration or interest' from the health checking out service, run by Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, about Abiyah's mother's desire for a home birth without any medical intervention.

In March 2020, health visitor records stated it had been noted at a securing meeting that Abiyah had actually not been seen by them since his six-week assessment, with appointments at the one and two-year marks given that his birth not attended.

He had likewise not received any routine immunisations. While a follow-up query was prepared, there was no record of why it never ever took place, although the review stated that the coronavirus lockdown which began that year most likely contributed.

The different authorities coming into contact with the child's family revealed a 'general lack of understanding or evaluation of the parents' belief systems', leading to an 'insufficient understanding about the effect on his care, the review said.

It added that his moms and dads' behaviour 'often sidetracked or diverted expert attention' far from his security and welfare.

The review stated: 'Parental resistance of advice, assistance or authority eventually led to (Abiyah) ending up being invisible and lost from professional view.'

The report consisted of reflections that while social workers had know the household's culture and parents' beliefs and lifestyle, they appeared not to have actually thought about 'with in-depth curiosity' the effect on Abiyah's safety and wellness, 'such as if undoubtedly his overall requirements were being fulfilled'.

Tai, the 42-year-old son of a previous Nigerian federal government authorities, was jailed for 24-and-a-half years at Coventry Crown Court in December while 43-year-old Naiyahmi received a 19-and-a-half-year sentence after being founded guilty of causing the death of Abiyah, kid cruelty and perverting the course of justice.

Judge Mr Justice Wall stated the truth the couple had actually taken no photos of the young boy in the last four months of his life was 'a clear sign that you realised by then how ill he was'.

The judge informed them: 'Abiyah died as a result of your wilful disregard of him. He was significantly stunted in his development - at practically 4 years of age, he was buried in the clothing of an 18-month-old. 'It is tough to picture a worse case of disregard.'

As part of the evaluation, the views of both moms and dads were sought. Tai declined to be spoken with but Yasharahyalah concurred telling the evaluation it was now 'hard to accept that my approach did not cause the best outcomes for my child and that it took the court process to take me out of that bubble'.

She stated at the time, she did not believe Abiyah required aid with any illness.

In a statement, James Thomas and Sue Harrison Co-Chairs of the Birmingham Safeguarding Children Partnership, said the evaluation had 'identified crucial learning'.

They stated: 'Learning includes agencies working together jointly to secure children who become 'out of sight' and working better with families who find themselves on the fringes of society, helping them to gain access to support and stepping in where necessary when kids are at risk.

'Protecting kids out of professional sight is a real obstacle, given the limitations of statutory powers to guarantee all children are regularly seen. Our Partnership has actually made this one of our leading strategic priorities to guarantee that we do everything we potentially can to identify danger to those kids who are out of sight.'

An NSPCC spokesperson stated: 'While the moms and dads of little Abiyah are eventually accountable for his death, this review brings into sharp focus why it is essential that experts demonstrate interest and examination.

'This means asking penetrating concerns, enrolling and sharing details and undertaking quality assessments to inform an understanding of the effect of the parents' behaviour on the kid.

'This is particularly challenging when parents hesitate and resistant to engage, which in this circumstance took the focus far from the security of this little kid up until tragically it was far far too late.

'Having the confidence to identify and understand how to check ethnic culture, cultural and belief associated behaviours, while keeping an open mind, can assist child safeguarding specialists across agencies develop better relationships with families and recognize the effect and possible dangers to children.

'It is acknowledged that this and the other learning points raised by the review have actually been taken on board by the organisations involved and changes have been made to better safeguard children.'
