It’s not long enough

October 20, 2006

Two years for this. As a parent reading this I varied between anger, disgust, and at times tears. The mother and her partner should have gotten a lot, lot longer behind bars. Once again our justice system applies a wet feather in it’s application of punishment.

  1. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard of kids getting beaten brutally for not having mastered using the toilet. It makes me sick. I even wrote about it last year when my son was learning to use the toilet and included some guidelines for toilet training. If only some parents stopped to think about their children for a second. 🙁

  2. But then I guess no amount of punishment can ever truly cure the trauma the child had been through because of the incident. It’s such a pity how a three-year-old could suffer cruelty, even at the hands of her own parents.
