A former Home Secretary calls for a police investigation into whether public officials may have acted negligently in the period before the death of baby Preston Davey. The appeal focuses on claims that there were missed opportunities to prevent harm to the child, and argues that those involved should be examined under a formal policing process. The request is framed as an effort to establish what decisions were made, what safeguards were in place, and whether any errors occurred that could have contributed to the outcome. The reports do not provide additional details about specific officials, agencies, or actions in the available text, but they consistently highlight the central contention: that an investigation could clarify possible failings and determine whether negligence played a role. At this stage, the coverage reflects an advocacy position by the former Home Secretary rather than confirmed findings by investigators.
