  • A review of the murder of a baby by his parents revealed that Finley Boden 'should have been one of the most protected' children in the area.

  • Ten-month-old Finley died after sustained abuse, with multiple fractures, burns, and injuries that could only have been inflicted by two people working together.

  • He passed away on Christmas Day during the winter 2020 Covid lockdown - just 39 days after being returned to his parents' care by social services.

  • A report published by the Derby and Derbyshire Safeguarding Children Partnership today found that the safeguarding of Finley was inadequate.

  • To protect the globally recognized Japanese women artists, local officials in the Geisha district of Kyoto will shut off access for tourists who harass starting April.

  • The historic Gion district will now ban sightseers and tourists from the alleys and streets housing Geishas and Maikos due to complaints about growing photography disturbances.

  • Next month, the alleys hosting restaurants and teahouses will be exclusively open for Geishas, their clients, and district residents.

  • This measure aims to safeguard not only the Geishas and Maikos but also preserve the Japanese art and its custodian artists.
