I think those charges are only being laid now, since the death of Shanay.

Maybe her family didn't think she could have possibly have been cruel to a child? It wouldn't be the first time we have seen family members refuse to see their relatives for what they are and it costs a child their physical wellbeing or even their lives.Wth was Morris doing even allowed around her niece considering the previous 2 charges against her dating back 2 years?

Why didn't the authorities act? Review called into case after it emerges social workers closed case a week before youngster was found dead
Shanay's tragic death has become the subject of a serious case review after it emerged social workers closed a case a week before the seven-year-old died.
During the trial, it was heard that Shanay had complained to her teachers about what was happening at home but investigations found that the little girl's cuts and bruises were accidental.
The court heard teachers at Shanay's primary school had noticed injuries to her which were recorded in Safeguarding Referral forms and then shown to a social worker.
But Morris gave explanations for the marks, telling staff a burn mark on the child's thigh was because she had stood too close to a radiator.
The prosecutor said she also claimed Shanay 'hurt herself'.
If you had not been so good at fooling them, who were unable to see the real you, Shanay would be alive today, regardless of how she came to die
Mr Justice MacDuff
The court was told that a social worker who observed Shanay with her aunt had found the two had a close and loving relationship.
It also emerged that a multi-agency meeting was held with Morris and Shanay's school, Southglade Primary, but the case was closed a week before she died.
Mr Justice MacDuff praised teachers at Shanay’s school who noticed her injuries and passed their concerns on to social workers.
But he added the care workers appeared to have fallen under Morris’ ‘malign spell’ and were ‘manipulated’ into believing she was a good parent who ‘loved Shanay and did her best for her.’
The judge told Morris: 'If you had not been so good at fooling them, who were unable to see the real you, Shanay would be alive today, regardless of how she came to die.
'I consider you to be wicked and lacking in compassion.'
The Local Safeguarding Children's Board will now examine how the agencies involved in the case worked together, and will look at whether any opportunities were missed to protect Shanay.
A spokesman for Nottinghamshire Police added: 'A Serious Case Review (SCR) has been commenced by the Local Safeguarding Children Board to examine the interaction between the agencies involved in this case.
'The SCR will look at whether any opportunities were missed to better protect Shanay and whether any lessons can be learned from this tragic outcome.'
The results are expected to be published within 12 months.
