A mother from the New South Wales Hunter region who failed to get help for her dying toddler has been jailed for a maximum five years, with a judge finding there was no remorse.
On June 19, 2018, the 20-month-old girl died from multiple injuries, including bleeding and swelling on the brain, haemorrhaging to both eyes, six broken ribs and a collapsed lung. The girl's mother — who cannot be named for legal reasons — was found guilty of manslaughter earlier this year. A jury accepted the prosecution's case that the woman had failed to seek medical care for her daughter's injuries, which had been inflicted by her new partner.
A forensic pathologist told the court the little girl's injuries resembled that of a car crash victim or a child that had fallen from a multi-storey building.But, in sentencing, Judge Tim Gartelmann SC said the woman had shown no remorse."She has acknowledged consequences of this offence, but she has never ever accepted responsibility for it.Judge Gartelmann said the woman did not call an ambulance for four-and-a-half hours after her daughter was injured.

5 years. WTF
Poor wee little bubba, ❤️
Sad
A father would have got life.
So a mother in an abusive relationship loses a child & gets 5 years Are these judges for real. Next week they are condoning the murder of full term unborn babies.
I bet if I witnessed a bank robbery and didn't call the police immediately I'd get a more strict sentence!
5 yrs is nothing, plus it might be reduced to 2. 5. What's this 'justice' system?!
