RIP UK Justice

Compare the OP sentence - 11 years for torturing a baby to death then trying to cover up the evidence - with this sentence - 9.5 years for a young girl who pretended to be a boy to get into relationships with other young girls.

It makes you wonder if these lawmakers and judges inhabit the same planet.

I agree the sentence is too low for the parents of the dead baby. The other case you mentioned is not really how you characterize it. A 19-year old was grooming and molesting under-age girls. The actual ages are stated as "several years younger" which may mean it is not really a big deal (16?) or that it is a big deal (12?).

The way I read it I'm assuming they were more around the former age. We can use precedents; for example, a 25 year old woman who duped another 25 years old woman into a relationship by pretending she was a man was jailed for 8 years.

The victims will have been with 13-15 years old, as otherwise the charges would specifically be, ".. with a child under 13," which does not seem to be the case here.

Well, it sounds like they might not be too well looked after by those parents.

If the kids grow up to be state supported, it doesn't seem like the tax benefit would materialize?

My boss was taken from his parents by the state. He subsequently served in the British Army, founded his own business and employs a dozen or so people in this country. I think he's repaid the investment.
 
Confirmed: women like bad boys.

He's clearly more sexually attractive than me, and I don't torture babies to death.

Maybe I should add it to my Tinder profile under hobbies.

I think having zero standards helps. (both him and all the women)
