I just can’t comprehend how anyone can treat innocent children in this manner, I only hope they are being well looked after now!

Oh the poor kids I hope that they can recover from this, though it sounds so bad that will be very very difficult!

Disgraceful. Pertinent comment by judge about how this could go on for so long without intervention. Where were social services?

Eight of her kids? How many does she have in total?

Horrific. I hope for a peaceful life for those kids and despair for the ‘help’ they’ll get from the ‘system’ in the years to come.

24 years is a good sentence , but why suspend 16 ?? Why do judges do this . Give out a sentence and then make it better by suspending two thirds of it . That is why people ( Criminals ) feel they can do what they like . We are a nation of apologists , and are being blackguarded left right and centre . This woman , she does not deserve the name Mother, should be made do the full 24 years .

What’s shocking about all this is that the abuse carried on for 7 years before anything was done. Clearly a lot of people turned a blind eye during that time. Shame on them.

i wonder what kind of chilhood she had herself? maybe her own kids might run into trouble without the proper help they’re gonna need. If u want longer custody we can stop the underfunded community supports to build and keep prisons. And sure we’d all be back to work. Win/Win. :-(

I can’t get my head around this. Unbelievable. I don’t understand 24 years but with 16 suspended ???? anybody want to enlighten me !!

So what was the point of saying 24 years why didnt he just say 8 ?
Mind you even 24 years is no long enough for someone who can treat another human so bad
Poor kids :-(

this is the first and won’t be the last let’s see more of these parasites been locked up. they live of social welfare money now we need to take a stance and them using our hard earned money.
no wonder the country is on its knees with people like this, a disgrace and a mockery of the system that is in place. the justice is been to soft on her 24yrs and 16 suspendedc that’s a joke. give 30 and leave it at that. I’m very sure her children will be well look after.

I can believe that poor spelling is hampering sales. After all, if someone spells an item incorrectly and the search result returns that no such item is available, then the customer may look elsewhere, blissfully unaware of their mistake.
