I live in County Roscommon, and its come to light that a woman was let abuse her children in pretty awful ways.
There was incest, abuse, beatings, lack of food, clothing and sanitary conditions, and the kids weren't even toilet trained.
How could people not know this was going on? I mean, the mother was a lone parent from what I can grasp. But surely friends, family and neighbours would have to have their suspicions.
It had been going on for six years. did the kids go to school? If so, surely someone would have noticed ie. a teacher.
If they didn't, then surely someone again should have noticed!
They say she suffered various conditions, such as asthma, depression and epilepsy. This is no excuse! I have two out of three of those conditions and wouldnt dream of doing anything of this sort.
She just got sentanced to 7 years, the maximum term for a WOMAN in an incest case. This is crazy stuff!
