hello yes im back so will someone let spot know.
meanwhile i came across this story on sky news and this literaly brought me to tears especially when i saw the picture of 16 month amy which can be found on the sun online under sun justice i suggest you visit the site and look in to those trusting eyes if you can it will tear your heart out.
anyway here is the story with my comment below sorry i couldnt post this before but my computer went down.
A DAD who brutally killed his 16-month-old tot by snapping her spine was told today that he must spend at least 22 years in prison.
James Howson, 25, of Doncaster, South Yorks, was given a life sentence at Leeds Crown Court for the murder of little Amy Howson by a judge who imposed a 22-year minimum term.
amy’s mother, Tina Hunt, was given a 12-month suspended sentence after admitting allowing the death of a child and child cruelty.
Howson was found guilty of murder by a jury earlier this week.
Sentencing him today, the judge, Mrs Justice Cox, recounted how the defendant placed his daughter over his knee or other object and broke her back at their home while he was looking after her.
He then sat with her body until the morning.
The judge said: “This was, in my view, a chilling and brutal attack.
“The bone was completely dislocated, resulting in spinal shock, rapid unconsciousness - mercifully - and to death.
She went on: “The jury was satisfied, on the clearest of evidence, that it was you who deliberately inflicted truly horrific injuries upon your defenceless little daughter, Amy, from which she died within a few hours.
The judge also detailed the other occasions in the weeks leading up to the murder in December last year when Howson “cruelly and deliberately assaulted Amy, leaving her with multiple fractures to her arms and legs.
Howson showed no emotion as he was led from the dock.
The judge said to him: “I have not seen the slightest evidence of remorse from you for what you did.

what makes this so chilling is that this scum is from my original home town and i hope that this bastard for want of a better word gets a good kicking while he is inside from the screws and cons because whatever jail he goes in his life is at risk.
hopefully he will do the decent thing and hang himself or be found with his throat cut in the showers this comes from a father of a 3 year old daughter .
tina needened think she has got away with it as well.
if she is wise she wont go back to doncaster.
