To think an 11 year sentence for Rosdeep Adekoya is perfectly appropriate

About 18 months ago. Expert witness were found to testify about aspects they weren't qualified in. Conviction quashed and crown never went for a re-trial.

HeySoulSister · 25/08/2014 21:21

So she's out now? Where? Just gone back to her life?

Nicknacky · 25/08/2014 21:23

Yes, she was released though obviously I have no idea where. The Fatal Accident Enquiry took place within the last couple of months.

A lot of people seem to think she'll only serve half of her sentence. She won't. Her tariff will be 11 years. So she'll have to serve 11 years.

no, it definitely isn't!

Deverethemuzzler · 25/08/2014 21:43

Lonny I am not sure what you are arguing with me about Confused

Itsfab · 25/08/2014 21:43

I cant get past your "mitigating factors" comment, OP.

She KILLED her child. Mitigating factors when someone shouts and smacks, fine, but KILLING? No.

11 years is not enough. Her kids should be adopted and the SS who gave her back her child should be completely retrained if not sacked.

ArsenicyOldFace · 25/08/2014 21:48

Itsfab i'm not sure you and I have the same understanding of mitigation.

And why adopted FGS? The DC are with family. She will never get residence of them again. They will be in their new homes with extended family they know and love (the older three at least) for the rest of their childhoods. SGO, residence order or similar. That is what is best for them.

You want the children adopted to punish HER?!

OP posts:
Itsfab · 25/08/2014 21:57

Where did I say that?

The children should be adopted if there is not a stable family available to tem where the relatives do not argue and fight over the children.
Not really fussed what your understanding of the word is. I am talking from what I think.

HeySoulSister · 25/08/2014 22:00

Adoption is a bit of a fantasy. More likely they will linger in the care system unwanted

Better they are with family as I think they are already

Itsfab. You said "her children should be adopted". You didn't expand on it and made reference to people being sacked. Very clear you are looking for Rosedeep to be punished by her children adopted out.

Where are people fighting over them? I imagine it's common for more than one family member to step forward when a parent can't care for a child.

Itsfab · 25/08/2014 22:03

That is good to know, SquattingNeville.

ArsenicyOldFace · 25/08/2014 22:03

Lovely that they are together Neville anyway, whoever it is Smile

OP posts:
Nicknacky · 25/08/2014 22:04

Squatting, that's good to hear they are together and being looked after.

HeySoulSister · 25/08/2014 22:04

neville are you a namechanger?

No, not at all am I looking to punish this woman. I am hoping for a settled and loving childhood for the children and being adopted would be the best thing if the family were fighting over the children. SquattingNeville has said that is not the case.

Make all the assumptions you like but don't accuse me of saying something I didn't.

ArsenicyOldFace · 25/08/2014 22:09

Itsfab

  1. Mitigation does not mean what you seem to think it means.

  2. As Nick says you lumped the sacking of the SW and the adoption of the DC together as two connected demands and you sound very angry and vengeful, which is hardly the way to make decisions re DC.

HeySoulSister · 25/08/2014 22:09

Ah ok. Not sure then. There's a MNer here who knew Rosdeep, wondered if you are that person. Don't think you are tho

Nicknacky · 25/08/2014 22:09

Read your original post then before you accuse us of twisting your words. You mentioned none of that.
