Has anyone read this. 15 years! Doesn't make sense. The poor boy couldn't tell his mother about the abuse.

Leila Borrington: Woman jailed for killing three-year-old stepson www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-64975538

Disgustingly low sentence. The worst time in prison wouldn’t be enough for her.

I was reading about this at work today.

I can never understand these sorts of stories. Where was the dad when the abuse was happening? Did he know about it/turn a blind eye?! I just don’t understand how so many step parents are able to harm a child to the point of killing them.

Like where are the child biological parent (the step parent’s partner) when all this is happening? It’s truly horrific. What an evil woman

Yes I wondered that as well. I just can't believe she is only getting 15 years

15 years so 7.5 inside. That's beyond an insult to that poor beautiful innocent lttle baby and his family. Surely that's got to be appealed.
I hope her time in prison is living hell.
RIP Harvey.

It said his dad was at the cinema. I've said to my DH if I die and you met someone else you have to do everything you can to be sure they would treat DD how I would. He's not an idiot though but the idea is awful.

How many more little children are going to die . It's just so depressing we have so many child killers in society.

I think the parents know but ignore it I don’t believe they are not aware, he had other injuries including a broken arm. Dad was at the cinema

That's awful

Wouldn't the mother have stopped him going there?

Poor child was non verbal and autistic. He didn’t stand a chance. I’m sick to death about hearing about parents partners killing their children. Or step parents.

Just read that the “father” has taken their child they share together to prison to visit her! Yeah even more convince now that he knew but turned a blind eye. Probably staying with her whilst she’s inside 🙄 wtf!
