Father who beat baby son to death in Dorset jailed
A Dorset man who beat his 10-week-old baby son to death after drinking a bottle of vodka has been jailed for five years.
When Ethan Tattum died at his home in at Gordon Road, in Wimborne, on 4 July 2008 he weighed less than 6lbs (2.7kg).
His injuries were so severe medical experts said he must have been punched, slapped or hit against a hard surface.
Craig Tattum, 35, denied manslaughter but was found guilty on 15 December at Winchester Crown Court.
Why only 5 years? He could be out in 20 months on parole, or at worst he serves 3 years 4 months. It's not much for a young life is it?
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
5 years what a bloody disgrace, i hope he gets a good going over in jail and thats the least he deserves.
