THAMES Valley Police has revealed itself to be morally and professionally deficient with its ham-fisted attempt to haul Liberty Baker’s father into court.

No one can imagine the anguish Liberty’s family have felt since her tragic death and there may well have been justification for her killer’s family to call the police.
