A father who battered and burnt his son to death has been given a life sentence after being convicted of murder.
Paul O'Neil, 33, from Newcastle, held the face of his three-month-old son Aaron against a gas fire and later fractured his skull with a head blow.
True this is a heinous crime and the bastard deserves to be banged up for life. Part of the problem here though is the appalling non-actions of the social services who seems, in this instance as in many other high profile similar cases, to have not done enough to prevent it even though the child was on an at risk register.
Clearly the Victoria Climbie case outcomes has had little effect.

It was never going to, and neither will this one.
His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...
That is just sickening. If the folk of this country don't agree with capital punishment, they should at least advocate a lifetime of hard, unpaid labour for scumbags like this.
That's my main problem with sending these people to prison - they may get a few kickings from fellow inmates and, yes, they are incarcerated but their life is not exactly hard. Prison for me should act as both punishment and deterrent and I really don't think that the system we have now does either

NO NO NO NO NO
This ******* psycho did what he did because he's a psycho.
It is no one's fault but his. This shifting of blame is why we're in such a bad way. He's responsible, fully and completely responsible.
If we don't have the balls to remove scum like that from life then he should at least be locked up forever.
How low can a human being stoop? Anyone guilty of such crimes should relieved of their lives IMO. Anyone disagree?
Never been a fan of Capital punishment but 9 years is not enough. Double it and we might be getting somewhere.
It is not recorded if she would have survived had an ambulance been called for her at the time of the original fall. Ergo his acts may have contributed significantly to her death.
