The tents at the base of a popular ski resort in western Wyoming have been covered with green netting in an attempt to ward off criticism from local leaders. Billed as Tammah Jackson Hole, the stark white tents are the epitome of 'glamping,' or glamour camping, stacked with amenities like heating and updated appliances. But they have been the target of lawmakers who claim they are a blemish on the face of an otherwise pristine landscape. They have also been caught up in a whirlwind of legal trouble concerning the construction of a septic system near vulnerable wetlands and fire hazards due to gas fireplaces.

How many children have to die before we fix our social services? Campaigners demand action after decades of failed efforts to reform - as four-week-old baby murdered by his father becomes latest tragic example of safeguarding failures

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 11, 2024
EXCLUSIVE: The former Children's Commissioner slammed social services today as a 'giant tower of Jenga held together by Sellotape' after yet another child was murdered while social workers missed opportunities to save him. The government has pledged £200million of investment to improve children's social care with its 'Stable Homes, Built On Love' strategy. Yet enraged ex-Commissioner Anne Longfield, 64, told MailOnline the government 'has failed to grip' that it could turn the woeful situation around by acting 'swiftly and boldly' to fix Britain's broken social services. Four-week-old baby Ollie Davis was brutally murdered by his abusive father Michael in a horrific campaign of violence that left him with 40 broken bones and a series of brain injuries in 2017. Yesterday, Michael was jailed for life. Yet a review into Ollie's murder found there were 'missed opportunities' from social services to intervene. Even though there have been years of promised reforms and improvements to social services, no meaningful change has been delivered, campaigners have claimed. Former Children's Commissioner Ms Longfield said the Government needed to see children's social services as an 'urgent priority' rather than a 'long term ambition'.

How little Ollie was failed by social services: 'Early opportunities' were missed to help four-week-old boy murdered by 'evil' father who played games all night on his PlayStation and took tired rage out on his helpless son

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 10, 2024
A four-week-old baby was murdered by his 'evil' father after social services missed 'early opportunities' to intervene in his home life. Little Ollie Davis, from Leicester, was left with 40 broken bones across his tiny limbs and a series of brain injuries after a horrendous campaign of abuse at the hands of his father, Michael Davis, in October 2017. He had inflicted waves of violence on the poor child over the course of up to 10 days, taking his anger out on his son after becoming tired spending nights gaming instead of sleeping Ollie's mother, Kayleigh Driver, stood by and did nothing to save him from the violence inflicted on him over the course of up to 10 days, and when the couple were hauled in by police neither showed any remorse. A report released today, as Davies was jailed for life for murder and Driver for seven years for allowing Ollie's death, found that 'early opportunities' to refer and assess the family 'were not taken' by social services.

The web of lies spun by cruel parents after they left baby Ollie to die in agony: Remorseless father tried to blame his own family after murdering four-week-old - while the little boy's mother yawned after leaving her son to die with a broken neck

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 10, 2024
Michael Davis and Kayleigh Driver were both jailed today over the brutal killing of the four-week-old baby, who endured the pain of 40 broken bones in ten days leading up to his death. But when questioned by police, both denied knowledge of how little Ollie came to suffer injuries that were likened to that of a high speed car crash. In separate interviews, the pair showed no sign of emotion or remorse, casually sipping water and shrugging their shoulders - with Driver even yawning when quizzed by detectives. During the trial, Davis went one further and even tried to blame other members of his own family for the horrific campaign of violence. When asked by a prosecutor if the person responsible for Ollie's abuse must be someone who had given evidence in the trial, he replied: 'We can't rule anyone out, can we?'
