Surely It's Time There Was Some Redress For This?

A violent thug who attacked a mum and her young son left her home "looking like a bloodbath". 

The 26-year-old Welshman already had a history of violence against women. But the electrician was free to carry out the savage Teesside assault after being spared jail last year despite punching his girlfriend so hard she lost her sense of smell and taste.

Yes, absolutely, this woman didn't do any due diligence before shacking up with the brute and putting herself and her son in danger, but...shouldn't the previous judge also bear some responsibility? 

Shouldn't there be some consequences for lenient sentencing and the resulting fallout?

The court heard that the mother is planning to move away from the area, so she is safe when Dos Santos is released from prison.

Should he ever be? 

Judge Watson jailed Dos Santos for six years and four months and made him the subject of a restraining order prohibiting him from going near the family again.

So, he'll just target another family. It seems there's no shortage of victims, thanks to women with low standards, and of course, thanks to the criminal justice system...
