Peter Connelly (also known as Baby P) was a 17-month old boy who died in London after suffering more than 50 injuries over an eight-month period, during which he was repeatedly seen by social services. The cruelty to baby P from his mothers boyfriend was convicted of raping a two-year-old girl. After the long running cruelty to young baby P, a post-mortem revealed he had swallowed a tooth after being punched. Other injuries included a broken back, broken ribs, having the tips of fingers sliced off, and nails pulled out. Reading and following the story throughout the year it saddens me to see how people could have the sickened mind to do this to an innocent one-year-old.
In my opinion the sentences given to the evil, vile people who are should be convicted for life are being treated like royalty when they are being given short worthless prosecutions and after their conviction given new identities, paid for accommodation and round-the-clock protection. The suffering of baby P went through should open the eyes of the juries to change the current conviction methods and start thinking about convictions that will bring at least try to reprehend and bring some justice to the pain baby P went through.
