TW for child abuse. Can it be right that two of the three killers of 6 young kids a decade ago are already out or getting out of jail?

Obviously Mick Philpott was the 'brains' of the scheme to frame his ex for arson, but his useless wife and their creepy sexual partner went along with the idea of pouring copious amounts of petrol through a letterbox and setting it on fire while their six children were asleep upstairs. A child of six or eight years old would know that was likely to result in death. How can these dismal excuses for humankind be free already?

I don't get why some child killers are treated so lightly. Like Rosdeep Adekoya - she battered her three year old toddler to death, drove and dumped his body like it was rubbish, and pretended he'd been abducted. And the witch was walking free FOUR YEARS later. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/3595664/mikaeel-kular-edinburgh-toddler-killed-mum-rosdeep-adekoya-dumped-suitcase-kirkcaldy/amp/

Why do some child killers get treated so gently when others, e.g. the murderers of little Arthur and little Star, rightly get the book thrown at their evil heads?

If you want to complain about the way the justice system works in a democracy I suggest you understand how it works before posting an ill informed thread on a public forum.

OP probably does understand how it works. I think you've missed the point.

I suspect not. To quote from the first post, "I don't get why some child killers are treated so lightly".

Do you always take things so literally? I wonder whether that may be something for you to reflect on.

Then complain to your MP about sentencing guidelines rather than whinging on here.

Do you police all threads (as ultimately many could be considered a "whinge") so energetically? Confused

@BingBunnyBlues I complerely agree, its shocking but typically sentences are only half of what people are given, the rest is held in abayance in case they do something wrong again and is tgen added to their next sentence, or so I understand it.

I don't think anyone should get their changed. We all want to stay away from these AHs and why should they get to live a normal life what they've done?

The prob with prison is it doesn't rehabilitate it just 'punishes'.

@BingBunnyBlues

"Why do some child killers get treated so gently when others, e.g. the murderers of little Arthur and little Star, rightly get the book thrown at their evil heads?"

I suggest you educate yourself about sentencing guidelines.

So you thought the best response here was to attack the OP, in defence of child killers and abusers? Telling anyone to “educate themselves” is teenaged and lazy, and generally means an argument cannot stand up to scrutiny. I don’t think that quite puts you into the shining spotlight of moral righteousness that you think it does.

I think part of the issue is the parole board

they will hear case after case of extreme violence and you become desensitised, it’s natural to and that can impact on professional decisions made. They are not immune to manipulation and not just from the offender

maybe they should have breaks form being on a parole board. I have been shocked by sown decisions made the process is very thorough but that doesn’t mean there isn’t mistakes made
