A Montreal mother of eight has been sentenced to four years in prison for assaulting five of her children.

The woman, who cannot be named to protect the identity of her children, was found guilty of assault and assault with a weapon in April.
[...]

In the 44-year-old woman's case, court was told the beatings began after each of her children, who are from seven different fathers, turned five.
[...]

Some of the children endured violence for more than a decade before they were taken away from their mother by youth protection officials.

Officials intervened three years ago after the woman's 14-year old daughter complained to police.

Her mother had held her head in the St. Lawrence River, claiming the girl had stolen marijuana from her.

The 44-year-old used wet rags to hit the younger ones and sawed-off hockey sticks against the older ones.

Defence lawyer Mary Raposo told the court the woman misses her children and is doing everything she can to get them back.

She recommended a three- to six-month sentence so that the woman can continue her rehabilitation.

Instead, the judge accepted the Crown's recommendation for a sentence of four years.

4 years is not nearly long enough, 6 months per child, ridiculous. I think people who beat their children enjoy it on some level, so I'm guessing her missing her children only means she misses beating them!!!

Hey it lowers her stress level!!! BITCH

Get them back or get back at them?

BTW I thought pot was supposed to mellow you out. The kids should have been replenishing her stash daily.

Wow, lucky her. 6 months per child is a slap on the fucking wrist.
Idiot judge.

Okay, I know we've been through the rounds around here about number of children and ages of parents. But this story sets off my special pet peeve about the subject of time to shut up the baby-hole...

SEVEN different fathers. Seven. WTF was she thinking? That in order to test the validity of any man she'd need to have a kid by him? The rest of us probably follow the general rules of dating, but some women seem to think that men should be tested out by their baby-making power.

Yeah, maybe she didn't mean to have kids with some of them (shit, that whole sentence seems like a mistake to write), but for god's fucking sake, use some birth control! Rubbers, sponges, pills, shots, spermacides, various surgical procedures--with the amount and variety of birth control there should not be a fucking problem with NOT having a kid.

As far as the sentencing--fucking joke. I know that the USA has a lot of problems in the justice system and others think we're barbarians for the death penalty and sentencing lengths, but IMO if I wanted to be a criminal, I'd move to any of the other developed countries. Free healthcare and only a slight pause in the social life if you're caught in your crimes.

Sigh. At least the kids did eventually get out of their own hells--most of them have already suffered twice as long as she'll ever serve for torturing them.

Oops... was trying to reply to the dominatrix death in another thread and got all fucked up because my hands are like big ogre hands sometimes on my mini laptop.
