I think if somebody had murdered this poor child by recognised methods, they would have got life (for what that is worth in this country), to put this in perspective, neglecting the child, starving the child, child cruelty and casuing her death should have all been seperate charges with seperate sentences not running concurrently, my guess is that would add up to more than they got, and would still not be enough, in cases like this, manslaghter should not be an option, starving a child to death is murder and nothing less, for that they should both have hung.
