I'm sure her time in nick will be a pleasurable one ......
I'm dumb founded as to how anyone could even think of what she did.

Heartbreaking 

[Rangie]

Can't imagine how that child must have suffered.

[BazaJT]

She only gets 9 years for that??? Can the prison staff "forget" to give her food/drink/any kind of care?There really should be some way to make such people suffer.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Looks like she has previous form for abandonment of her nipper.

[STEMO]

Cue a serious case review, where 'lessons will be learned'.

.... again!

Cue a serious case review, where 'lessons will be learned'. 

And nobody will be found accountable 

[Doctor Gollum]

There's definitely an argument for reintroducing capital punishment.

That said, an 18 year old single mother living by herself, and already in council care, she wasn't singularly responsible. This is not an excuse or sympathy for what she did... punishment should serve as a deterrent to others, although what she did is universally deemed unacceptable.

However, the father and local authority are as guilty as she is, and whilst she probably couldn't even name the father, the local authority and its staff should be made to carry some of the responsibility.

I suspect that this is why she received 9 years. Some digging may find that the LA haven't got away scott free.

I kind of see your points but ..... most normal people would think twice before they left a 20 month child to nip next door. Apart form the obvious starvation & nappy rash/etc, the poor child must've wondered where her Mum was when it came to bed time & meal times.

Don't, Andy......

A tear starts, unbidden, to the eye.....

[Sir Tigger KC]

There was another story the other day about a couple who beat their 3 year old girl to death. 

They were charged with manslaughter.....

If not the death penalty, this women should be imprisoned for at least 25 years - she apparently will spend just 6 years of her current sentence inside - to reflect what a terrible thing she did and the suffering of that poor, poor, child.

Hopefully whilst inside she will be duly dealt with by the women she will find there!

Yes, also the authorities have got real questions to answer.

Unfortunately Lizzie the odds are she will be segregated whilst in prison for her own protection, and because the way the UK operates be given a new identity on her release. Completely wrong but as the "do gooders" say " she has rights".
