Oops so sorry, thought it was the news and politics thread!
Just checked! I did mean it to go on this thread as its news and politics.

It's a thread about another case of child abuse.

I think maybe you’re on the wrong thread Bridie. An important subject, but not really suitable for discussion on a thread about child sexual abuse.

Just had a quick look, The Mail has reported on the Sharif sentencing too. Actually I misreported slightly, they’ve both got life, but the 40 and 33 years are minimum terms. The uncle got 16 years.

Starmer really not keen on pensioners is he?
Washing women will not get any payout even though many lost thousands of pounds in pension .

Incidentally, I’ve looked, but I can’t find anything about this case in The Guardian. It may have been reported in there, but I can’t find it. I only see The Mail and The Guardian and so I don’t know if it’s been reported in other papers. I haven’t seen tv news today so I don’t know if it’s been reported by any mainstream news outlets. What does it say about our society when a hideous crime such as this is barely reported?

I did see in The Guardian that Sharif has been sentenced to 40 years minimum for the murder of Sara, and his wife to 33 years minimum. They deserve that and more!

So the DM does report news then!

What kind of comment is that when a poster has just posted about another horrific story of abuse?

Yes, it does report news love0c but unfortunately this is news no one really wants to hear. It didn’t say anything about where the girl is now. Obviously she’ll be under the care of the Local Authority but whether she’s in foster care, or placed with a suitable family member, it doesn’t say.
Poor child.

If I hear lessons will be learnt I will scream
Me too.

Vile woman.
Vile paedophile.

Both of them deserve far longer sentences.

It is heartbreaking, the person who gave birth and whose job it was to protect her, sold her as a sex slave.

If I hear lessons will be learnt I will scream

I’ve just read in the Daily Mail (you know that newspaper that never reports any news) about the case of a mother from Tower Hamlets who has been selling her 15 year old daughter to a man for sexual abuse for two years!
What kind of a mother does that? And what kind of a vile individual buys sexual services from a child?
Following on from the cases of Sara and Isabella, both in the news this last week, I noticed this case being reported today and I just thought

it never ends, these poor abused children, it never ends

The man got ten years I think, and the mother five years. I suppose both will only do half their sentences.
