School girl punches her baby to death - and avoids jail

Tirryb writes "In Australia News.com.au reports here that a school girl killed her new born baby, but has been spared jail. Apparently she gave birth in her room, cut the chord, punched the baby several times in the head to kill it, then wrapped it in a blanket and placed it beside her bed - all to avoid losing face with friends and family. The judge said "I am satisfied that the interest of the community and particularly the interest of you are best served by you becoming a useful member of society, certainly not by going to jail,"

Just what would the schoolboy father have received if he'd done the deed..?"
