Chloe Valentine was just four when she died of massive head injuries Authorities considered Chloe Valentine to be 'at risk' before she was even born, an inquest into the four-year-old's death has heard. By the time she was six-weeks-old, Families SA had received multiple calls about Chloe, including one saying her mother had almost set fire to a mattress on the lounge room floor where the baby was sleeping. Tragically Chloe, from Adelaide, died in January 2012 from injuries sustained over a three-day period in the backyard of a home at Ingle Farm, in the city's northeast. Her mother, Ashlee Polkinghorne, 22, and her then-partner, Benjamin McPartland, 28, are in jail after pleading guilty to the manslaughter of Chloe through criminal neglect.
