I hate reading these stories but I can't help reading on. There's no point burying your head in the sand. At least when shit like this happens in the U.S., you have a legal system with the ability to punish these people.

The British legal system is absolutely dreadful. When it comes to the most appalling crimes, the real stomach churning stuff, it lacks the ability to give out the sort of sentencing that is deserved.

If you aren't from the UK, Google the Baby P case in Harrogate from a few years ago. It was headline news for weeks. I honestly lost a lot of sleep over it. It was basically systematic terrorising and torture of a 1 y.o. resulting in his death. It later came out that the perpetrator was the defendant in a rape case of a 3 y.o. girl. The jury in the second case weren't privy to this knowledge as he wasn't convicted at that stage.

What penalty other than the death penalty or life without the possibilty of parole could be appropriate?
