A seven-year-old girl who starved to death and her five siblings were allegedly visited by social services just weeks before they were discovered living in squalor by police.
Labour MP Khalid Mahmood said he had been told an educational social worker went to the children’s family home once but never returned.
Neighbours are also angrily asking why their school did not raise the alarm when their mother removed them more than two months ago, claiming they were being bullied for wearing Muslim clothes.
It was not until neighbours tipped off police that Khrya Ishaq and her brothers and sisters were eating bread left out for the birds that anyone came to their aid.
