I really am ashamed of our legal system.

Nine years! Nine falming years and 12 months for the mother.
I can't understand how these judges can sleep at night after passing that sort of sentence on two total monsters for killing this poor little soul.
Not long enough.
What does anyone else think?

Well said Luna-tic, i've always said, no matter what, you have to make these things personel, and imagine, as you say, what if this has happened to your daughter, or someone you know or love.

Sorry My misread but it still doesn't change the fact that the baby die in appualing agony and they did it, yet these two in some years from now will be walking out of prison and be free to have more children.

There is a world of difference between this girl and the two I'm talking about. Every one has a right to have the woderful experiance of having a child but when you harm that child and kill it in the way those two monsters did you should lose the right to have any more.
There is no proof that this girl will harm her baby and its a crying shame that social services cannot do their job properly when it comes to children already in danger.
How many poor little souls have suffered and died out there and still are suffering and dieing when the SS are well aware of it and do nothing. Never mind the 'they might' What about the 'they are.'
They are so quick to say lessons have been learned but they never seem to learn anything.
It does not say unfortunatly whether the SS was involved in this case or not.

The child had already been removed by Social Services from his father's care, and subsequently returned to him. Doctors also failed to spot the signs of child abuse.
