We can only hope that will be the case, she would certainly deserve it. Chances are she'll have some kind of special security to protect her..or be put in isolation. May she burn forever
This is disgusting. Did this child go to school? Why did the father do nothing in two years? Why didn't he kick her out and protect his kids? Did she not have any relatives? Why did his friends do nothing? Social services fail her. How could they not know if they were working with the family? A lot is wrong with all of it. Now theses poor kids will need a life time of counseling and are scarred because no one did anything. They should all be charged.
This is a sad day....For those who remember the young Ryan Turner in1994 whom died in Miramichi after being abused by his parents ...it is almost a déjà vue ..How can a parent let their spouse hurt their child and say nothing for 7 months...We hear all the time about mental health ...a call is all what her spouse had to do...At 52 ...you know what is right and wrong...if his wife wad suffiring from mental problem, he should have went for help ..in my view, both parents are to blame for the abused those kids endured...God protect those children...
I'm so sick and tired of people using "mental illness" as an excuse to do horrible things to people, especially children, and get away with it. She needs to be locked up in a prison for life with no parole ever. She should never be free when her daughter will be tormented with the memory of what happened to her for the rest of her life!
It is infuriating that this child was severely abused for over 2 years before family and children’s services stepped in and removed all of the children from the home. I wonder how many times they ignored concerns about the children’s well being
It sounds like there is at least some element of low-functioning intellectual and emotional (empathic) ability on the part of both parents. And, none of us will be surprised if it eventually comes to light that one or both parents came from dysfunctional families, where various forms of abuse and/or neglect were normalized. "Mental illness" is too broad and vague a term in cases such as this. We really do need more precise language around the mental and emotional capacity required for parents to raise children in an authentically safe and healthy home. Of course there is a need to not stigmatize people, but these children have been at risk since they were born. Early intervention and ongoing and appropriate social support to low-functioning parents is needed. As far as I know, we do not fund or resource those social supports properly.
Coming from a dysfunctional family is NO excuse for what this Mother put her child/ren through...I came from a highly dysfunctional Mother, and I would never harm anyone else, let alone my own child!!
I am not excusing the mother for her behaviour. Patterns of dysfunction should be treated more seriously and appropriately, so no more children suffer.
This is sickening. What does a grade 6 education have to do with how you treat a child. She was doing everything she could to break this child. Sentence her as if she killed this child. Did the woman never hear of 911. If 911 couldn't help her then I am sure they would have directed her to people who could. They also would of definitely helped the child. Knowing right from wrong doesn't stem from a higher education.
This is horrific, something from a bad movie or novel. I can't imagine nobody else not noticing anything a teacher perhaps, wasn't she in school? If your that unfit to have children put them up for adoption. They should throw the book at her, can't believe sentence would be less then 10 years. She should rot in solitary for the better part of her life.
She should get a lot more than 8 years; and who cares how much time she already served. She should not get out until all her children come of age. DRs need to determine why she singled this child out from her 6 kids, and get to the root of the evil she perpetrated! The father is just as bad, at the very least he knew this child didn't have a proper bed!!
This is terrible to read. The father is just as responsible as the mother in my eyes. Those poor children. I do hope they find good homes for them and know there are good people out there.
I have to say that even if you suspect that things are wrong. Child protection does nothing. I know of a family with three kids and they are never allowed outside. Have never had friends over and are forbidden to go anywhere. All the windows are boarded up in the home. I've called repeatedly and even heard screaming and slapping. No one has ever been there to check it out. What kind of system allows this to go on
Disgusted by these parents! No child should ever have to suffer abuse.
You would hope there would be some prison justice handed out by her future room mates.
We can only hope that will be the case, she would certainly deserve it. Chances are she'll have some kind of special security to protect her..or be put in isolation. May she burn forever
Shocking to the core. Most sickening thing I've read other than in a fiction novel.
Why did none of the “friends” who were invited for coffee and injury inspection call the authorities then? So many things are wrong with this case.
I am going as far to say those friends are just as guilty for not reporting the abuse. They were aware.
What about school over the 2 years? This is something very obvious, especially starvation! Nothing will rehabilitate such evil, hatred!
I can’t even say what is going through my mind! She is pure evil!! Mental illness is the excuse for everything!

Given to little time for offense :( So sad.....
