Baby P’s mother is RECALLED to prison: Evil mother Tracey Connelly, 42, jailed for letting her 17-month-old son be tortured to death is back behind bars after just two years for breaching her licence conditions
The mother of Baby P, the girl who was tortured to death in a 2007 case that shocked the nation, has been recalled to prison after violating the conditions of her licence.
Tracey Connelly, 42, was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of five years in 2009 after covering up her son’s horrific injuries and allowing him to die in her care at home in Tottenham, north London, on August 3, 2007.
The deranged mother was called back to prison in 2015 after selling nude photos online. Now, more than two years after her last release, she is headed back to prison.
MailOnline has learned that Connelly has been recalled to prison for breaching the conditions of her licence.
Because she is serving a life sentence, it is up to the Parole Board to decide whether she will ever be released.

Tracey Connelly, now 42, was taken from HM Prison Low Newton in County Durham in 2022 to secretly start a new life in a bail hostel
Peter, who was known publicly as Baby P, had suffered more than 50 injuries despite being on the high-risk list
Connelly, who covered up her son’s abuse, was jailed indefinitely for a minimum of five years in 2009 after admitting she caused or allowed his death.
Connelly’s lover Steven Barker (left) was sentenced to a minimum of 12 years in prison in 2009 for torturing the 17-month-old baby to death, while his brother, Jason Owen (right), was sentenced to six years in prison for letting the toddler die.
A spokesperson for HM Prison and Probation Service told MailOnline: ‘Prisoners released on probation must adhere to strict conditions and we have no hesitation in recalling them to prison if they break the rules.’
Connelly was sentenced to life in prison after covering up the injuries of her son, whose real name was Peter. She pleaded guilty to causing or allowing the death of a child.

The mother of the tragic child was released in 2013, but was called back to prison two years later after cashing in on her notoriety among deranged male fans by selling nude photos of herself online.
Connelly was put back behind bars after violating the terms of her parole, which prohibited her from developing “intimate personal relationships” on the Internet.
In July 2022, she was released again and transferred from HM Prison Low Newton in County Durham to a bail bonds house at a secret location to start her life anew.
The then Justice Secretary, Dominic Raab, tried to prevent her release, but months later MailOnline photographed Connelly walking down the street, enjoying her freedom, hidden behind a face mask.
A bystander told us at the time: ‘What she did is despicable. There are no words for it.’
“There is no way she should be able to go back to normal after what she did. I believe in rehabilitation for offenders, but not for what she did.”
By then her weight had ballooned to 20 stone, prompting her own mother to tell her: The sun: ‘Look at her — look at the state of her. She’s gotten so fat. She looks disgusting.
“She wears the mask because she doesn’t want anyone to recognize her. I feel sick when I look at these pictures. I don’t know how she can live her life normally.”
It was later reported that she had befriended child killer Helen Cauldwell, who strangled her own daughter with a Piglet toy at the shelter in northern England.
Baby’s death shocked Britain, not only because of the suffering the little one endured as his mother watched, but also because of the missed opportunities to save him.
Peter had suffered more than 50 injuries despite being on the high-risk list and receiving 60 visits from social workers, police officers and health workers in eight months.
