Read our privacy policy The babysitter who first raised concerns about the mistreatment of murdered toddler Star Hobson has said her warnings were not taken seriously by authorities. Hollie Jones lodged an anonymous tip-off with Bradford City Council over worries about Star's mother Frankie Smith and partner Savannah Brockhill. The authority said it would not be commenting ahead of a Local Child Safeguarding Practice Review which will be published next month but issued a joint statement with the city's safeguarding agencies, saying they "deeply regret that not all the warning signs were seen".
