The social services workers who "catastrophically failed" tragic Ayeeshia-Jane Smith should "hang their heads in shame", Burton's MP has said.
Andrew Griffiths spoke out after today's serious case review into the actions of the authorities leading up to the 21-month-old's horrific death.
Originally from Swadlincote, her mum's young age meant Ayeeshia was under the care of Derbyshire County Council's social services department from birth.
The department today came in for heavy criticism for failing to protect Ayeeshia, who died at her Stretton home more than three years ago.
Mum Kathryn Smith was convicted of murder after stamping on her child so hard it stopped the toddler's heart.
Now Mr Griffiths has slammed social services for failing to heed a plethora of alarming warning signs.
He said: "In one respect, the report sets out in very clear facts the number of times Derbyshire Social Services had the opportunity to intervene and protect baby Ayeeshia and how often they failed to do so.
"I'm left with the question that, if the admission that her mother was taking cannabis at 20 weeks pregnant, or the dozens of instances of domestic violence, or the attendance of the police on numerous occasions, or the eight times social workers saw cuts and bruises on Ayeeshia's body, or the times she was blue-lighted to A&E weren't enough to make social workers intervene, what would it have taken for them to act?
"Most damning is that on April 10 a team of social workers wrote a letter to ask for Ayeeshia to be taken away.
"That letter was never sent and, on May 1, she was dead. Derbyshire County Council should hang their heads in shame at their failure to protect this little baby."
Although Mr Griffiths acknowledged the report drew clear conclusions about social services' failings, he is angry at a "lack of accountability" for those who let Ayeeshia down.
He said: "On the other side of the coin, I am frustrated that the report skirts over so many important issues, such as why the allegation that Ayeeshia's cot was set on fire merited just three or four words and why, after all the failures and mistakes, no-one will be held accountable for the errors that meant she was not protected.
Ayeeshia-Jayne Smith serious case review
"It's not enough to say 'we're going to learn lessons'. People have to be held to account when they hold a position of responsibility and let down those they are supposed to protect.
"Even the NSPCC say the signs were clearly there. They say it was one of the most obvious cases of neglect and abuse they have seen, but no-one at Derbyshire County Council is accountable for this catastrophic failure."
Mr Griffiths is in the process of scheduling a meeting with Children's Minister Robert Goodwill to discuss the report's findings.
