Anyone listening to this? Unbelievable story about a bloke who swung his gf's toddler around by the ankle "like a lasso" and then onto the settee FOUR times. This was captured on video but he is NOT GOING TO JAIL. FFS!

[Thomcat]

Unreal isn't it. Sickening. No excuse. What was the judge thinking of? Lack of justice and unfair way sentences are handed out scares and worries me.

[discordia]

If the bloke had post traumatic stress disorder, what on earth is the poor little girl going to have? Does the judge think it's ok to take out your feelings on a helpless child?

[Tommy]

I saw that on the news last night - it made me cry. It's a bit wierd isn't it when mothers can be put in jail for seemingly minor offences when someone who is obviously a danger to children is allowed to walk free.

I saw it on tv too. made me say Daily-Mail-like phrases too

[jimmychoos]

I agree. It's a rare feeling for me to be in accord with the Daily Mail. Also - wasn't a one-off event - the g/f set up the videa because she suspected something was happening - her child was severely distressed by her b/f's presence. It's all a bit wierd - I guess she wanted proof tho? Seems unbelieveable to me that you'd use your child like that tho'.

[discordia]

You're right, Jimmyc - where was she when the abuse of her child was being videoed?
