Reading this article was deeply sobering and upsetting. The level of abuse suffered by such a young child is hard to comprehend, especially knowing he was completely dependent on the adults who were meant to protect him. The details make it painfully clear how badly he was failed, and they linger long after you finish reading. It really drives home the reality that not everyone is fit to be a parent, and that when abuse goes unchecked, the consequences can be devastating and irreversible.

Why is her name and address not being published? There unfortunately is no young child to protect the identity of, ala sexual abuse etc cases.
This case is sickening and infuriating.
> However, medics found that he was covered in bruises from head to toe inflicted at different times.
> He also had a broken rib, **his liver was torn and he had suffered a catastrophic brain injury.**

– It had been agreed with the Child and Family Agency, Tusla, that he would have a weekly video call with his mother and other family members, but the family was frequently told the boy was “bold” and could not appear on video.
– A relation who brought chocolate eggs over for him was not allowed to see him or give them to him.
NEVER allow this sort of isolation. Regular welfare checks do NOT undermine legit disapline. Anyone in a situation right now INSIST on meeting the child regularly, preferably in person.

“On another occasion she told gardaí, she loved the child but on some days she thought “take the c**t away from me”.”
“When the child’s injuries were outlined to her, she said the doctors “must have been counting freckles”.”

What an absolutely horrific case. My heart is broke for this poor little boy. The suffering and pain he must have endured, the loneliness, crying his heart out and feelings of abandonment. This is so so wrong. I cannot get my head around the cruelty inflicted on defenceless children.
I hope the pair of monsters are haunted every second of their lives with what they did to this poor baby 😢
I hope they have the sh1t hammered out of them behind bars. Absolute SCUM of the earth.

This story made me feel physically sick. That poor little boy had no chance in life. I hope karma catches up soon with that evil bitch.

It won’t happen unfortunately, but I can’t see any justification for this woman to not serve the remainder of her life in prison, no matter how long that is.
There can be no rehabilitation.

This child was let down by everyone, including his mother who lost custody due to her own convictions.
Their names were widely reported early on, so it’s not hard to figure out a lot about the families.
All 3 of them were absolute scumbags. Mother, father and stepmother
