A Romanian woman was given a three year suspended jail sentence in Dublin yesterday after inflicting a litany of abuse on her four year old daughter.

Hospital staff became suspicious when they noticed bruises of "various ages and shapes" all over the child's face, back, buttocks, legs and arms.

She told the court that she didn't realise it was illegal to beat your child with a big stick. The judge said 'They may do that kind of thing in Romania but you can't do it here!'

Then he let her off, the cunt. Now she's free to beat her kids with iron bars and when they arrest her she'll say "But I thought it was beating them with big sticks that was illegal" and she'll get off then too, free to roam the streets stealing mobile phones and pleading poverty with a mouth full of gold teeth.
