Heidi Koseda should have celebrated her 28th birthday this year, but due to horrific parental neglect and abuse and the appalling failings of Health Workers, Social Services, NSPCC and the Police her life was cut short.
Heidi Koseda was born on the 16th December 1980 it is thought she died during the month of November or December 1984, a precise date of her death cannot be given for reasons which will become evident in the story of her sad life.
For the first two years of Heidi's life she lived with her mother and natural father, Rosemary and Henryk Koseda. These first years of Heidi's life were thought to have been normal and uneventful until her parents relationship broke down and they separated in October 1982. Henryk koseda never saw his daughter alive again.
Soon after the departure of Henryk Koseda another man moved in, Nicholas Price, Koseda and Price had known each other from when they were at school. Price was said to have dominated Koseda from the offset, according to Koseda's mother Mrs Rickard, who stated that Koseda's mental health deteriorated rapidly.
On the 23rd of September 1983 Koseda gave birth to a son, James, the father being Price. During Koseda's confinement in hospital the staff found Price to be unusually disturbed.
Koseda failed to take Heidi to her 3 year check up this resulted in eight visits being made by Health Visitors to try to persuade her to attend the check up. The last time Heidi was seen alive by medical staff was on the 5th January 1984 when she accompanied her mother and half brother for his infant immunisation.
Mrs Rickard (Heidi's maternal grandmother) last saw Heidi during Christmas 1983 and at the end of this visit it was noticed that Heidi did not want to return home to her mother and step father. Mrs Rickard was supporting the family financially at the time; during the new year of 1984 she withdrew her financial support. The result of this financial withdrawal was that Price refused Heidi and her grandmother any further contact. Mrs Rickard never saw her granddaughter alive again.
In March 1984 Koseda fell pregnant again; the family withdrew all contact with extended family members from either side and became isolated in their flat. Koseda refused any medical help with the pregnancy. Health Visitors tried calling and left a card, the card was returned with "not known" written across it. The Health Visitors wrongly assumed that the family had moved away.
Between January 1984 and July 1984 Heidi was only seen by outsiders who were neighbours in the block of flats where they lived. Heidi was seen frequently playing with another little girl, witnesses later claimed that Heidi was always hungry and had many bruises to her arms and legs.
New neighbours moved in below the family in August 1984 and they stated that they never saw Heidi; they also stated that they heard persistent banging and crashing all evening into the early hours followed by screaming and crying. The new neighbour called the NSPCC on the 3rd September to voice her concerns. On the 10th September a Health Visitor called at the flat and was told that Heidi was sleeping, she did not attempt to see the child. During September the Health Visitor attempted to make three more visits which were unsuccessful. In October the family were allocated a new Health Visitor, who was wrongly told that the family had moved away this resulted in their records being returned to the Health Authority HQ.
The nightly banging and crying continued the neighbour again called the NSPCC on the 10th October, followed by a second and third call in November. A NSPCC Officer made an unsuccessful call to the flat; he then later falsified his records to reflect that a successful visit had been made. He was sacked for his actions.
On the 6th December two Midwives called at the flat after reports that Koseda had given birth. The family, except Heidi, were asleep in the living area, there was no heating or lighting in the flat. James (18 months) was dressed in only a vest and no other clothes could be found for him. Koseda and Price stated that Heidi was staying with friends in Hounslow. Koseda and Lisa Price were discharged from hospital 5 days later.
Between the 11th & 13th of December the Community Midwife visited the flat 5 times unsuccessfully. Mrs Rickard attempted a visit and was also unsuccessful. Between the 17th & 20th December more attempts were made by Health Visitors, again unsuccessful.
On the 21st December a Health Visitor passed the case to Social Services.
On the 24th December a Health Visiting Senior Nurse spoke with Price on the doorstep of the flat. Price told the nurse that Koseda was out with the children, the nurse then made an appointment for a Health Visitor to call on the 27th of December.
27th December call made by Health Visitor is unsuccessful.
A warrant was then made for a Police Inspector, WPC and Health Visitor to enter the flat. On entering the flat they found James and Lisa apparently clean and healthy. Koseda and Price claimed that Heidi was staying with friends in Hounslow. They also told the officials that no-one could enter the bedroom as it had been treated with anti-damp chemicals and it would be unsafe. Since the warrant only applied to Lisa the officials left.
On New Years Eve the allocated Social Worker visited the flat and found all was well, she claimed that Koseda and Price were pleasant and co-operative, and a case conference was allocated for the 22nd January 1985. The Social Worker visited again on the 2nd and 7th of January and noticed bruising on James. Koseda and Price explained the bruises away with what she thought were plausible explanations. The Social Worker called on the 3rd of January and became concerned about the explanations given regarding Heidi's whereabouts. On the 15th January the Social Worker called again and became further concerned as Koseda avoided answering questions regarding Heidi's whereabouts.
On the 22nd January the neighbour again voiced her concerns.
During the case conference on the 22nd of January it was decided to place the children's names on the at risk register.
On the 23rd of January 1984 Price was asked by police about the whereabouts of Heidi they then arrested him being unhappy with his answers, police searched the flat in Woolacombe Way and found Heidi's decomposing body. It was impossible for pathologists to say when exactly Heidi died but it was thought that she had been dead for at least 2 to 3 weeks but more likely 6 to 8 weeks which would put her death at early December.
Price claimed during his trial that he had stopped feeding Heidi due to her greediness for sweets in August 1984; he claimed that she then refused to eat food and drink which resulted in her dying in early November. The prosecution alleged that Heidi was placed in the bedroom for at least 2 weeks without food and water, the bedroom door was secured by a broom handle from the outside. Heidi had eaten strips of wall paper & carpet in a desperate attempt to feed herself.
Price was jailed for life, Koseda was committed to a mental hospital (both now free in the community) the two remaining children placed in care and made wards of court.
It is horrifying to think that Heidi may well have still been alive during the visits (successful and unsuccessful) made by Social Workers, Health Workers, NSPCC and Police.
Heidi was born on the 16th December 1980, she had a pretty angelic little face & beautiful blonde ringlets. Heidi i will never forget you. xxxxxxxx

Christmas without you here with me,
can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
one so precious, who has your name.
An Angel forever watching over me,
at Christmas time, and over the year.
Although you can't be here anymore,
inside my heart, you are so very near.
There is no special present for you,
wrapped up under my Christmas tree.
But I have a greater gift to give to you;
all the love you can still feel from me.
No, Christmas time without you here,
could not ever possibly be the same.
But, I have had the precious gift of you,
and the memories and love, will remain.
� Pamela Hall
All my love Sylvie
Happy 31st Birthday princess & Merry Christmas Angel ♥

Losing A Loved One
Although your heart is hurting,
And you feel you can't go on
Know in that very moment
Your loved one wasn't alone
For God was there beside them
Holding onto their hand
As the time drew nearer
For them to leave this land
He held them close and whispered
"My child, your time is now"
"But how will my loved ones go on?"
He whispered, "I will show them how"
"I will give them strength and love"
And comfort in the night,
I will fill their hearts with peace
Knowing you had wings as you took flight
You no longer walk amongst them
For now you fly above
With all my Heavenly angels
Spreading ever lasting and eternal love
SHIRLEY H.BRUNSON

There's a very special place beyond the skies above
somewhere very peaceful that is full of light and Love
That special place is Heaven, where you're free to laugh and roam
it was your time to go there so the angels took you home
And though you're in our thoughts each day throughout the year
at special times like Christmas we all Wish you could be here
Now you're in a better place,your soul is laid to rest
safe with all the Angels for they only take the best.
