Lauren was only six years old when she was brutally murdered by her step mother, Tracey Wright. She was found upstairs in the Wright home in Norfolk, on May 6th, with a collection of over 60 bruises and she was so thin it was disgusting. The doctor who saw to this case said, "her injuries were similar to those of a car crash victim". She died when her digestive system collapsed after a lethal blow to the stomach by Wright. Wright and her husband were both convicted for manslaughter for letting this happen to his child, although there is no proof that he actually took a hand in the beatings. Police, doctors and social workers had been visiting Lauren occasionally for the past 12 weeks and none of them had reported Wright and her husband, they had only given warnings which were never acted upon. This was a cinderella story with no happy ending, Craig Wright married Tracey Scarff 18 months ago, Scarff already had two previous children, a son 9 years, and a daughter, 6 years. She openly tormented Lauren, while her children got loved and cared for. The two Scarff children knew what was going on, and knew that Lauren was being badly abused, as well did the town. And because no one took action against Tracey Scarff, Lauren Wright is dead.
