Reads like a hatchet job from the estranged family.
A bit, but there is an awful lot of corroboration from different sources in that article. I know it's the Mail, but even so, I doubt they would have risked running that story if it was not true.Sounds delightful.

The grieving father of Cinderella schoolgirl Amber Peat has revealed his heartbreak at discovering his 13-year-old daughter had begged social services to let her live with him in the lead up to her death.
Adrian Cook, 40, said his young daughter had desperately asked the authorities if she could move in with him, with paperwork revealing concerns of 'extreme punishments, constant ridicule and lack of emotional warmth' at the home she shared with her mother Kelly, 34, and stepfather Danny, 31.

He was stopped from seeing her for the two years prior to her death after losing parental rights when he split from her mother.
Since the pair were never married and Amber was born before the law changed in 2003 to allow equal rights to both parents, he had no right to see her.
Her mother stopped him from contacting the youngster when she met Danny Peat in 2013, and even moved house and changed her telephone number.
Mr Cook said the last time he saw his daughter she was 'eating chocolate ice-cream', and he never imagined police would be contacting him two years later to tell him she had died.

Most people have no idea how many 'at risk' children are known to social services.
If she's fed, clothed, has somewhere reasonable to sleep and attends school, realistically, she's going to be no-where near the top in terms of risk and prioritisation.
Easy business in hindsight, although I'll balance that out with saying there certainly are times where social services haven't adequately protected children.

As having a 13 year old daughter myself and unfortunately being able to identify with a number of similar experiences when I was the same age, this really saddens me.
Teenage girls need as much support as possible, not being treated like this.
I used to sit at school too scared to go home and I never felt so alone in all my life.
What a terrible situation. I wonder what the parents are thinking now.
