*****************

Four "callous" women who forced a pair of toddlers into fighting and filmed them as they punched each other today escaped jail sentences.

The women, all from the same Plymouth family, goaded the boy and girl into hitting each other until they cried, and called the boy a "wimp" and a "faggot" when he did not fight back.

The incident was filmed on a video camera and discovered by chance by a person, who reported it to social services, Plymouth crown court heard.

When interviewed by police, one of the women said: "I didn't see any harm in toughening them up - I done the same with my own children."

Zara Care, 29, Carole Olver, 48, Serenza Olver, 29, and Danielle Olver, 19, were today given 12-month sentences, suspended for two years, after admitting child cruelty charges.

The eight-minute film was "shocking to watch", judge Francis Gilbert said as he passed sentence.

"You laughed at them, you mocked them, you swore at them," he said. "You compelled them to hit each other even though they clearly did not want to. You were cruel, callous, clearly causing the children to hurt each other for your own pleasure."

The video shows the boy and girl - neither of whom was identified in court - in tears but still being shouted at to carry on by the laughing women.

At one point the boy, wearing a nappy and a T-shirt, is cheered for repeatedly hitting the girl around the head with a magazine, before a hairbrush is thrown into the room to be used as a weapon.

When the boy cries after being punched in the face he is told "not to be a wimp" and to hit her back. At another stage he tries to get away by climbing into an armchair as the women urge the girl to punch him again.

When she does, the boy is urged to fight back, but says: "No, I don't want to."

Care pleaded guilty to causing or procuring the children to be ill-treated in a manner likely to cause unnecessary suffering or injury. The other three admitted jointly inciting the ill-treatment of children.

Disgusting.

Hey at least they got off with it, even though they filmed it on camera phones, encourage it, laughed and applauded it, etc. . . .

Ahh doesn't the judical system fill you with a warm self satisfying glow or protection, that you may go to prison for parking offences but encouraging child battery is ok. . . .

Now lets all look at the Devon tourisum website

we have a boxer that's 12, and he aint doing to good either.  i think he has doggy alzheimer's or something.  we can't bring ourselves to take him to the vet though, just hoping he goes naturally...

[dodgersgirl]

I was hoping that he'd go on his own, too...but every day is harder and harder for him to walk. He's in constant pain, even with painkillers, and THAT'S too harsh to watch my buddy go through. Congrats on yours making it to 12 - that's unheard of! I just hope my guy goes peacefully and is out of pain, finally.

[Stand and Deliver]

That's some sad shit.  When are you putting him down, Fernando?

[dodgersgirl]

May 5...happens to be Cinco de Mayo. I figured he should go out with a Corona and a big party!

[Stand and Deliver]

I'll raise my glass to that.

tried skating today, and I ate shit on a fucking ollie...still can't do flip tricks either.  I've been inactive for so long that all of my joints are fucked up: both knees, my shoulders, my back, my hips, and my achilles tendon on my right foot.  This fucking sucks, I was skating pretty good before I went into the hospital, now I gotta start from square one.  I feel like the goddamn tin man the day after a rain storm..

Monty gets a spanking

Juan Pablo Montoya has hit the headlines once again thanks to "an inappropriate gesture" made during practice for the recent NASCAR Busch Series race at Phoenix. NASCAR has fined him $10,000 and placed him on probation until the end of the year for giving one of his opponents the finger while he was unaware that he was being shown live on an in-car camera.

There is currently no word on the casualty figures but undoubtedly some of the red-neck NASCAR fans will have died of shock at such rudeness, unaccustomed as they are to such behaviour.

This was judged to be an action detrimental to stock car racing and so the fine was imposed.

One can only wonder what will happen if JPM gets going with one of his colourful rants at some point as some of his favourite adjectives are probably a little too colourful for the NASCAR folk.

he should have stuck with open wheel racing

[Blue Fescue]

Montoya is a bitch.  On the other hand Lewis Hamilton is taking over and webber still sucks so the F1 season is going well.
