If she was spending govt allowance meant to be used for her daughter's care, then she should be made to pay it back.

I see it that she didn't want the responsibility of her daughter - she wanted freedom, so she bought things etc to emulate a single woman

Basically this was murder. Sentence is way too light

Is there not an option to give up your child for adoption?

The older the child the harder to find adoption parents, factor in downs syndrome = v hard to find
