<p>The full horror of the abuse suffered by tragic toddler Baby P was revealed today as it emerged lawyers at the council responsible for his protection advised
<br />just nine days before his death that he did not need to be taken into care.
</p>
<p>A teenager who lived in the same council house as the boy and his mother but was too terrified to raise the alarm at the time told how he was bitten all over to 'train' the family's vicious dogs how to attack and dropped 6ft onto the floor.
</p>
<p>The 15-year-old, who was a key prosecution witness at the trial over Baby P's death, also said his fingernails were pulled out with pliers and fingertips cut off during the sickening torture in the eight months before he died.
</p>
<p>He was grabbed by the throat and thrown into his cot, had his windpipe pressed so hard he turned blue and a bottle rammed into his mouth with such force that it cut his lips, she told the News of the World.
<br />
</p>
<p>The teenager also recalled the horrific moment Baby P's stepfather broke the toddler's back in two as he was watching television, leaving the boy paralysed from the waist down.
</p>
<p>Incredibly, the injury was overlooked by social workers and doctors who also failed to notice the child's missing fingernails and his fractured ribs.
</p>
<p>'He sat smirking on the sofa, smoking cannabis and playing with Baby P like he was a rag doll. Then I suddenly heard a loud crack that echoed through the house as the baby's little backbone snapped in half.
</p>
<p>'He let out a gut-wrenching scream. It was so loud I went into the garden and put my hands over my ears to block it out.'
</p>Of the chilling moments before his death, she told how he would not stop crying because he had been left lying in his cot for days.
<p>'The step-dad came down and said "I'll sort it". He went into the room, slammed the door shut and suddenly the crying stopped.'
</p>
<p>She revealed that she was the one who found the baby's dead body, and claimed his mother had waited more than two hours before phoning for an ambulance.
</p>
<p>It was later found that Baby P had been punched so hard in the face that he had swallowed a tooth.

</p>
<p>The teenager was so terrified that she would be made a target as well that it took her months to summon up the courage to tell relatives of the abuse.
</p>
<p>She claimed the mother's lies about her child's various injuries were 'simply accepted' by the social workers checking up on her.
</p>
<p>'I couldn't believe these social workers kept falling for it.'
<br />
</p>
<p>On the final visit by the welfare officer four days before he died, the mother actually said she would have to be an 'idiot' not to know there was something wrong, the girl revealed.
<br />
</p>
<p>She told how Baby P was put in his buggy because he was too limp for a high chair and that melted chocolate was smeared on his face to cover up the injuries.
<br />
</p>
<p>'The social worker did not spot a thing. The mum couldn't believe her luck when she just had a quick look at P in his buggy and said: "Hello little fella!".
</p>
<p>'That was it. He was pushed into the kitchen, door slammed shut. That was the last time he was seen alive by anyone outside the house...
</p>
<p>'If she had just taken a second to look properly, to pick him up and look at him, she'd have realised there was something gravely wrong.'

</p>
<p>Her horrific account of the trauma the toddler suffered came amid fresh scrutiny of officials at Haringey Council.
</p>
<p>Its legal department told a meeting of officials on July 25 that the child could not be removed from his mother because evidence of abuse was too weak.
</p>
<p>By August 3, the tragic 17-month-old boy would die of his injuries after eight months of unimaginable torture.
</p>
<p>The blond, blue-eyed toddler had suffered more than 50 injuries despite 60 visits from social workers in the last months of his life.
