The issue

This week in Australia two mothers were given grossly unsuitable punishments for horrific crimes against their children.

A 39 year old QLD woman was released with no jail time for the horrific rape of her 12 year old daughter on her birthday. This mother held her screaming daughters legs apart whilst she was raped by the mothers boyfriend.

Also this week Lorien Norman was released with NO jail time after the vicious beating of her 18 month old daughter Evie.

We the people of Australia believe that both child victims on these crimes deserve to have their cases taken seriously and their mothers sentences reviewed to a more appropriate punishment. 

We believe that such blatant leniency by the judges in question will do nothing to deter future offenders.
