Victoria must change infanticide laws say family of mum who bashed twins | Fathers who kill their children are jailed, mothers who kill their children are not.

'We asked the DPP to appeal and they agreed with us that the sentence... was "on the lenient side", but after a while they wrote and said they had decided not to, because no woman in Victoria had ever been given jail time for infanticide,' Michelle said.

Pathetic.

'Women scream for equality, but when it comes to things like this they don't want it... well, you can't have it both ways.'

It's very feminist to fight to preserve female privilege and oppose gender equality.

Incredibly, a court order means Alicia and her older brother Luke still see their mum for visits.

It is something that angers their aunt enormously.

'The fact she gets to see the child she tried to kill... can you imagine if a rapist was able to see the child he tried to rape?' Michelle said.

Of course the mother still gets visitation rights with the twin girl she tried to murder, but failed. She's a woman!

The lifting of the suppression order last year was also important to Paul, who feels Amanda's death has been 'hidden'.

The father was not allowed to tell people who murdered his daughter for 8 fucking years!

This whole case makes me livid.

If she really felt that way the least she could do is punch the judge until he realises maybe it's a bad idea to give psychotic and dangerous women preferential treatment.

Infanticide law was born out of protecting women. Victorian era courts refused to convict women for Murder when it involved their own children. It was around the time insanity defenses started. People thought These crimes ran counter to what society viewed as a woman's nature, so assumed the women who committed them must be too sick to be held accountable. The Separate charge of infanticide was invented, so that the mothers would at least face some amount of justice. I've heard this, at least. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Australia just seems like such a gynocentric country, in fact all of the Anglo countries, women can stab, murder, shoot people, run people over, and they never get sent to prison.

This is a new low, now they're murdering children and getting away with it.

So what i'm reading is the aunt is sane, and the court system....isn't.

I guess neither is the mother because holy fuck.
