Scrolling through the news and came across this.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/annalong-two-week-old-baby-county-down-northern-ireland-hospital-rape-a8570541.html

WTAF!? What the fuck is wrong with people, this is absolutely disgusting how can people do such things?? This breaks my heart so much. Poor innocent helpless babies/children, why, just WHY!

I was watching tv 'this morning' today... a interview came on about a man who had been looking at indecent images. He got a 2 year suspended sentence?? This is indirect ABUSE.. it's still ABUSE whether it's indirect or direct! A suspended sentence is a fucking joke Angry

This kind of crime needs a more severe punishment! Bring back capital punishment for these crimes! There are a lot of monsters in this world Sad

all I can say is I am glad they have caught him. This is so shocking!

Pissedoffdotcom · 05/10/2018 21:11

There is a bloke round the corner from me that has just been sentenced for child abuse. He had on his computer over ten thousand images/vidoes; over 4000 of these were category A abuse images.

He got done for three counts of possessing indecent images of a child, three counts of possessing videos depicting abuse & three counts of carrying out sexual abuse on a child (not exact wording).

He got 9 months per offence. To run concurrently. And it was suspended for 2 years. Then all Google images of him were removed for his own protection because our village was gunning for his hide.

I hate to be all conspiracy theorist but something is amiss when someone who can do the shit these bastards do, gets less than somebody who has a fist fight in the street

Mainchanger · 05/10/2018 21:12

There are no words for this are there, it's beyond what we can comprehend.

Candlelights2345 · 05/10/2018 21:12

I had tears in my eyes when I saw this earlier. Poor wee baby.

RepealtheGRA · 05/10/2018 21:13

What is wrong with MEN.

In very rare cases I’m not completely opposed to the death penalty. This is one of those cases.

iLoveSpaDays · 05/10/2018 21:13

@Pissedoffdotcom that is ridiculous, but your right! People get longer prison sentences for bloody petty burglary etc Angry

There are no words-its cases like this that challenge my view of the world. I am generally quite optimistic and think that most people mean well, but this is horrific. If the man is found guilty, will the world really miss him? I believe in rehabilitation for criminals, and I know that a lot of criminals have had difficult and abusive childhoods and deserve second chances, but this? There is no coming back from this-a man who could do that to a newborn baby, just what value does he hold for society?

Banamara · 05/10/2018 21:15

Will take some time to go to trial, and then what? A few years in jail and out again to repeat? These people do not think they are doing anything wrong, as I have read elsewhere.

That poor wee baby. It is really beyond belief, but any abuse by these scumbags on children is horrific, particularly so in the case of a newborn child though. Words fail me now.

RepealtheGRA · 05/10/2018 21:15

The sad fact of the matter is that we do not have enough room in prisons for the amount of people convicted of these offences. It’s wrong.

iLoveSpaDays · 05/10/2018 21:16

@Awwlookatmybabyspider it makes me feel physically sick. I don't know how it's physically possible to do such a crime! Such a small precious baby Sad

Doesn't mention anything about the baby's mother in the news? Bet she's distraught poor woman

RepealtheGRA-its not just the men who do this, its the women who facilitate it. Remember Ian Watkins (Lostprophets)-he had female fans who were willing to make their young children available to him.

SausageOnAFork · 05/10/2018 21:16

I am fucking sick of men. NAMALT I know, I have a husband and know a good number of men who would dream of doing anything like this.
But fuck these men, fuck these men who think that shit like this is ok, fuck these men who walk among us, fuck these men who think so little of women and children.

NotMyNameButHereForever · 05/10/2018 21:16

Fuck. I don't disagree with you OP about how ferociously fucking vile this is but hands down I wouldn't have posted this without a trigger warning. I've just gone straight into panic mode and I'm struggling to breathe properly (no judging please, I'm just being honest).

Can everyone please report and ask for one (trigger edit) as multiple requests will (I think) raise it to top of mod's list as I know I'm not alone in my experiences and as thi is such an obscene example of abuse it's hard to believe I'm alone in being triggered.

That poor child.

Words fail me that anybody would pull the woman do it too shit in a case like this. Men rape. MEN..

SausageOnAFork · 05/10/2018 21:18

its not just the men who do this, its the women who facilitate it well yes but if there weren’t men wanting to do this then there would be women facilitating it.

garethsouthgatesmrs · 05/10/2018 21:18

Pissedoffdotcom he got 9 months for abuse of a child? I mean thats absolutely fucking disgraceful!

the sentences need to be much harsher and they need to be kept permanently away form normal society. Paedophiles who rape children aren't ever going to be normal functional members of society.

iLoveSpaDays · 05/10/2018 21:18

@NotMyNameButHereForever the post has been edited. Sorry everyone didn't think to put trigger warning on! Blush

Saw this earlier and just couldn't believe what I had read Sad

Utter scum.

Pissedoffdotcom · 05/10/2018 21:20

RepealtheGRA i agree wholeheartedly. But the current answer of locking up somebody for a fist fight & letting someone with three years worth of abuse under their belt walk free is astounding to me. One can likely be 'rehabilitated' to not reoffend...the other in all honesty should hang

iLoveSpaDays · 05/10/2018 21:21

The man on tv this morning got counselling or rehab... something along them lines. FUCK OFF
