Is it enough? She's the first person in the UK to be jailed for this dreadful crime

I said she would get 10 years in a previous thread, I'm pleased she got more

Unsure where my last post decided to go but I'll try again.

Probably. It'll send a message. But there needs to be a better arrest/conviction rate.
Well,it's certainly a lengthy sentence and as an opener it sends a clear message out to anyone else who engages in such despicable a practice.

Full marks to the judge on this occasion I would say.
It's a start.

I just pray it doesn't stop any other child whose life is in danger as a consequence of an FGM procedure being taken to hospital.
Is this the one where the defendant was sticking pins in dolls representing the police personnel ?
Question Author
I believe so, Bazile. I suspect she'll be having more than pins stuck in her whilst she's in prison
Like the recent coercive control case, this is a first and will be used as a benchmark for future prosecutions. The police, CPS, health and social workers now have a clearer idea of how the law is likely to be interpreted, so future prosecutions are more likely.
Urmm... Yes about right. Male genitalia mutilation in american and on Jewish men is completely legal.. So this illegal practise would make sense for it to be 10 years, especially if the child is endangered from the mutilation.
I don't think she will have an easy time in a woman's prison either
Question Author
She certainly won't.
If the child's father has had any sort of role in the girl's life I would have liked him to go to prison too, if he knew about it and didn't report it or in any way consented to the FGM.
Spath, male circumcision and FGM don’t compare.
13 years.

//The 37-year-old mother from Uganda has also been given a further two years in prison for other offences – including distributing an indecent image of a child – meaning she has been jailed for a total of 13 years.//

"including distributing an indecent image of a child"

What's that all about?

I hope the little girl has been removed from the family.
Question Author
11 years for the FGM. I can only assume that she took photos or made a video of her daughter and sent it to somebody else to either prove the procedure had taken place or to advertise her 'skills'.
The child is now in foster care.
Excellent,I hope she is deported when she has served her time too.
Question Author
Her daughter may still love her, fatalbertfixer, and we don't know how she'll feel about her when she leaves prison. She may hate her and never want to see her again.
The daughter is only three years old HC so in time so hopefully she should forget her mother.

Those who take their girls abroad to have this barbaric act performed on them should not be allowed back into the UK. If this was made public, perhaps it would go some way to stamping this vile practice out.
Bit more in the Mail about the porn. What disgusting parents. The state of the place the poor child lived in. Says the policeman stuck to the floor in the kitchen. Living on benefits, filthy house, into porn both of them and mutilating their daughter with son seeing poor child bleeding afterwards. I children get adopted by a decent couple and parents sent back to Uganda.

Blimey certainly sends a message

If I were mum I would be more inclined - to let it all hang out ( Klute Jane Fonda 1967 )
is this the one whre the child in the disclosure interview said: "a woman from my village came and said I was a witch" ?
oo-er Mrs !
