I'm seriously conflicted here.

I'd love to believe a person can change and be rehabilitated. I do believe that.

But as a teacher, I'm aware that any finding of guilt connected to a serious assault on a child would disqualify me from teaching for ever, in the interests of protecting kids.

Why is this woman treated differently from a teacher? She's working with kids, and kids who are probably a lot more vulnerable than my students.

"A WOMAN who beat a four-year-old girl with a brick before slitting her throat and leaving her for dead"

Whether she's paid her 'debt to society' or not, in my mind, only God can forgive such an act. To do what she did to this child, this woman harbors a sickness that is beyond comprehension or cure.

[sodpoodle]

Did she serve any time for this crime? How long?

This is absolutely disgusting.

A WOMAN who beat a four-year-old girl with a brick before slitting her throat and leaving her for dead in a laneway more than 30 years ago has been honoured for her work with troubled youths.

DOH!

I would like to believe that a person can be rehabilitated too. But this woman was found not guilty because of insanity. INSANITY!! I don't see how she was ever cleared to work with children. I wouldn't want her around my daughter. If she was insane once....what is too stop her from becoming insane again at some point? I don't care if 30 yrs have passed. I would be mad as hell too if I were the victim. I don't agree she should be awarded even if she has changed. I hate these insanity pleas....

I read the whole thing....here's the nutshell version of what this woman was up to 30+ yrs ago.....classic pedophile sex predator, pure and simple..............


The child was found wandering towards the hotel alone about 30 minutes later, carrying her tights and unable to remember what happened.
//////////////////
She spent time in the Royal Park Hospital for the criminally insane.

Ms Saville said she had overcome her problems since the attack, blaming a former partner for dragging up her past.

"I've just had a bitter break-up with an ex-partner who is involved in this and have an apprehended violence order against her," she said.

[RepoGirl]

Even worse, if you read to the end of the article, she blames who I assume is a former lesbian partner on digging up the dirt about her.

She seems pretty darn indifferent about it with the one quote that begins, "It was 34 years ago, mate..."

Maybe the article is biased and the woman is more contrite about it than they make her out to be, but I'm going to side with the victim on this one. My daughter will be four in a few months. I can't imagine the kind of vermin that would do such a thing like that.

YOU'RE WHAT!!!!!!!????????

AND A TEACHER????????????

OMG, YOUR POOR STUDENTS>

Everytime I see crap for brains like that I thank God my grandkids are homeschooled.

[Smokin' Joe]

Oh come on. You know this is just to show how people can be rehabilitated so they can start letting pedophiles run daycares.../sarc

[peggybac]

The thought of that precious 4 year old going through such a thing then wandering around by herself only makes me come to the conclusion that the b**ch who beat and cut her should be locked up for life or eliminated altogether. No sympathy, no rehab, nada for this devil.
