Leanne Mary White was a Beautiful 3 year old girl who had her whole life ahead of her until the
violent actions of her mothers boyfriend killed her.
To all who knew Leanne in the first 2 years of her life they said she was a normal happy bubbly
little girl.
That all changed when her mother met a man by the name of Colin Sleate. This man hated Leanne and
treated her with utter contempt and sadly Leannes mother did nothing! As is often the case her new
boyfriend took presidence over her daughter.
The sad thing is people started to notice the sudden change in Leanne she had turned into a nervous
with-drawn child. Family, Friends and Neighbours raised the alarm with social services and stated
that Colin Sleate was bullying the little girl and that they had heard him threaten her.
This was all to be in vain of course even Leannes pitterful crys for help wouldn't be enough for
social services to take action.
On 15th November 1992 Leanne was admitted to hospital and confirmed dead on arrival.The home office
pathologist who later gave evidence at the trial confirmed she had been the victim of a sustained
and brutal attack the night before.The cause of death was internal bleeding due to being punched
hard and repeatedly in the stomach.Leanne died a painful lonely death.
Despite the warning of relatives and neighbours Leanne was never placed on the at risk register if
she had of been and peoples concerns had been listened to and acted on then maybe the outcome would
have been very different.Leanne was failed terribly by social services.
Little Leanne White you were only 3 you didn't deserve this angel.
I didn't know Leanne or her family but I felt compelled to write this in her memory especially as
she lived in Hucknall which is my home town.
Leanne had 107 external injuries when she died. She had suffered for months at the hands of Sleate
and her mother Tina White.
Colin Sleate was jailed for life in 1993, Tina White was convicted of manslaughter.
R.I.P Little Leanne you are safe now sweetheart xxxxxxxxxx
There is also another memorial for Leanne on here a kind lady called Sara also felt like me that
this little angel shouldn't be forgotten.
Thank you to everyone who takes the time to light a candle or leave a tribute for Little Leanne your
kindness is beyond words bless you all xxx
What kind of place would heaven be with all its streets of gold, if all the souls, that dwell up there like yours and mine, were old? How strange would heaven’s music sound when harps begin to ring, if children were not gathered ‘round to help the angels sing. The children that God sends to us are only just a loan, He knows we need their sunshine to make the house a home. We need the inspiration of a baby’s blessed smile. He doesn’t say they’ve come to stay, just lends them for a while. Sometimes it takes them years to do the work for which they come. Sometimes in just a month or two our Father calls them home. I like to think some souls up there bear not one sinful scar. I love to think of heaven as a place where children are.
Waiting at the Door
I can’t explain so deep inside
The very fabric of my soul
Only a heart that grieves such loss
Can ever truly understand
It’s like you’re waiting at the door
Until a loved one comes back home
You feel a longing in your heart
When they appear the longing stops
But in a loss that never ends
You’re always standing at that door
You feel the longing in the breeze
So incomplete and never filled
I cannot find the words to say
Just what it’s like to want forever
Never seeing them again
Just always waiting at the door

See through the window,
Look at the light,
Smell the sweet flowers,
See the sky bright,
Shed not the tears,
As you feel I have gone,
Love never leaves,
And my spirit lives on.

Beautiful Angel Leanne
What a beautiful little girl, to go through so much pain and torture. These animals should be locked away for life. God bless you sweetheart, your safe in gods arms now. You can play with all the other little Angels now, and nobody can touch you anymore. God bless you sweetheart. xxx
“That’s enough!” said the lord, and reached down from above.
I sent you this child to adore, and to love.
But oh how this child has suffered greatly,
Now I will take Leanne back home with me.
And the Lord said, “come child walk with me,
I will take you to the land of glory.
In glory there will be no pain, or tears.
Come child, I will take away all your fears.”
A three year old child smiled a no longer bruised face,
“Mister God”, she whispered, “where is this place?”.
“Away up in Heaven”, He said, “dwell with me”.
“But, I’m afraid”, she said, “I will miss my teddy”.
“Don’t worry my darling, you’ll see teddy once more
you can watch over him by looking through Heavens floor.
And one day I will come get your teddy. He will also
Come to Heaven to be with you and me”.
“But for now child, your teddy must stay.
He must live to fight another day.
He still loves you, you feel the warmth in your chest,
That lets you know that your teddy loves you best”.
~ The three year old child smiled, and walked away
with the Lord;
God Bless Leanne ~ sleep tight darling xxx
My heart is breaking as I read this story. So many people who have so much love to give to a child and these monsters had the odasity to abuse one so badly. I believe eye for an eye is perfect for her mother. Sweet dreams, sleep tight little angel.
God Bless xx

Brand New Friend
Mum, I've found a brand new friend, in Jesus
He takes me by the hand and leads the way
And we go walking all across the rainbows
To the sacred garden where the angels play
So mother please don't cry for me
I know your pain is true,
But when I am on the rainbows
I'm looking down on you
And I can see the pain and grief
Etched across your face
I know, that deep within your heart
There's a special place
For me and all the angels
In heaven here above
Now dry your eyes, please don't cry
And I will send you love
And maybe I will come to you
From up here in the sky
In the shape of an angel
Or a beautiful butterfly
And I will rest beside you
On your shoulder when your down
And maybe whisper in your ear
That I'm always around
