Sentencing "difficult" for child beating immigrants

Apparently determining the correct sentence for a woman who beat her daughter with with a computer cable, a broom, a wooden spoon and her fists is, according to a judge who is allegedly versed in such things, "difficult."

How so m'Lud?  Assaults of this nature regularly, and rightly, attract immediate custodial sentences of several years.  So how come this cunt got off so lightly?  Well,

Oh.  I get it.

Contrast the sentence here (12 months suspended) with one handed out by the same judge back in May where a burglar stole some undies and videoed himself wearing them, took some voyeur photos and had some pictures of children on his computer.  For that, he got an indeterminate sentence with a minimum of six years.

Now don't misunderstand me here; the sentence given to the burglar was correct in my judicially untrained eyes.  It's the unbelievably light sentence meted out to the mother who actually caused physical harm to her kid that astonishes me and is, I feel, manifestly light.

Oh, yeah, forgot that bit.
