The local authority involved, the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, rejected a report in the Times newspaper which said the foster family did not speak English. It said the girl had been placed with an English-speaking, mixed-race family. Tower Hamlets Council said it had always intended to place the five-year-old in a relative's permanent care.
