But he refused to allow the media to name the council and police force. Reacting to the judge’s decision, the boy’s grandfather voiced concern that the lack of accountability would prevent lessons being learned. Speaking to Tortoise Media, which had made the application to name the council and police force, he said: “The attitude of social services is, ‘We don’t answer to anyone.’”
