Canada: Drug addicted mother escapes jail term in daughter's abuse

Story here. Excerpt:

'A crack-addicted woman was handed a 13-month conditional sentence yesterday for corrupting her developmentally challenged daughter, who was used for sex and given cocaine by other crack-users at the family's Rexdale flophouse.
...
"A mother has totally failed her daughter in the worst kind of way. She was sexually assaulted and became a drug addict by being given drugs over a 12-month period," said Strasberg, who demanded a prison sentence in the "range of 18 months."

Strasberg said the mom would be smoking crack in her room while the daughter performed sex acts in the living room. Drug testing confirmed the girl's drug use with "high level of exposure."

Justice Lloyd Budzinski rejected the prison term and agreed with defence lawyer Donald F. McLeod's call for a stay-at-home sentence. The judge said the remorseful mom pleaded guilty, sparing her daughter the anguish of reliving the horror from the witness stand.

"Her actions ... made the child vulnerable to acts of violence ... But it doesn't send any greater message (to imprison her). It's in the child's interest to restructure the family under the supervision of the CAS," said Budzinski.'

If it was a guy, I would say 15-25 years.

I've lost all my respect for the so-called Canadian Judicial System a long time ago. It seems it's centered around the same things the U.S. system is; extorting men for the benefit of women, and sparing women any punishment for the crimes they committ. It's truly pathetic.
