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

They admitted burying him in the garden after laying with his body for 8 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 horrible discomfort.

The evaluation said the case demonstrated the requirement for 'professionals to be confident to ask questions about various cultures and belief systems without worry of being viewed as discriminatory'.

The review said their hostility towards those in authority caused the focus of specialists to be 'diverted or sidetracked' from the children's welfare while the couple's many name modifications and aliases made it more challenging for companies to track and share info effectively.

It noted that Abiyah 'was just ever seen by a little number of specialists during his life time, and for a restricted time just'.

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

There was some contact in 2018 with a local authority social employee in London and four sees to a kids's centre in Birmingham, but the evaluation stated: 'Records of these contacts and interactions are extremely minimal, enhancing that there was really little insight into (Abiyah's) presence, health or welfare.'

Abiyah's moms and dads' trial heard cops visited the Clarence Road residential or commercial property in Handsworth 3 times, including in February 2018 when Abiyah was alive.

The evaluation specified that with regard to this go to 'no information were tape-recorded' about Abiyah, with his presence 'practically invisible on review of records'.

Elsewhere, the evaluation noted 'no expedition or interest' from the health going to service, run by Birmingham Community Health Care NHS Foundation Trust, about Abiyah's mom's desire for a home birth without any medical intervention.

In March 2020, health visitor records said it had actually been kept in mind at a protecting conference that Abiyah had actually not been seen by them since his six-week evaluation, with consultations at the one and two-year marks given that his birth not went to.

He had also not gotten any routine immunisations. While a follow-up query was planned, there was no record of why it never happened, although the review stated that the coronavirus lockdown which started that year most likely contributed.

The different authorities coming into contact with the kid's household showed a 'general absence of knowledge or evaluation of the moms and dads' belief systems', leading to an 'insufficient understanding about the effect on his care, the evaluation said.

It included that his moms and dads' behaviour 'typically sidetracked or diverted expert attention' away from his safety and welfare.

An NSPCC representative said: 'While the parents of little Abiyah are eventually accountable for his death, this evaluation brings into sharp focus why it is important that specialists show curiosity and examination.

'This implies asking probing concerns, joining up and sharing details and carrying out quality evaluations to inform an understanding of the impact of the moms and dads' behaviour on the kid.

'This is especially difficult when parents are hesitant and resistant to engage, which in this circumstance took the focus far from the safety of this little young boy up until tragically it was far too late.

'Having the self-confidence to acknowledge and understand how to enquire about ethnic culture, cultural and belief related behaviours, while keeping an open mind, can help kid securing specialists throughout agencies construct much better relationships with families and identify the effect and potential threats to kids.

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