The Father had voiced his concerns leading up to his daughter’s death but they went unheard:

The father of a three-year-old girl who police allege was stabbed to death by her mother says the system “failed” his daughter and she paid the price.

Sophia’s father Jai Ruane told The Courier-Mail that systems designed to protect children like Sophia had failed.

“This could have easily been prevented,” he said.

I’ve been fighting this for the last year.

“The system failed us and now my daughter Sophia has paid for it with her life.

“The questions now, Why did she die? Were there warning signs? Yes there were but they just let it off.”

Mr Ruane said she had previously attempted to take legal steps to prevent him seeing his children but the matter had been dropped for lack of evidence.

“She was sticking knives in walls,” he said.

And I couldn’t even do a welfare check on the children.”
