3 year old Tiffany Hirst was found dead in the accomodation above her parents pub in Sheffield in Sept 07.
Tiffany died of severe malnutrition & had not been given water or food for at least 20 hours before her cruel death. Regularly starved & locked upstairs, she was left her alone for hours while her parents went out or worked downstairs in their pub. Dog filth littered the floors upstairs, bare electrical wires were in Tiffany's reach, dirty clothes and dishes were piled high and dirty nappies dumped on the floor. Tiffanys Body lay decomposing for 2-3 days before her death was reported.
Tiffanys mother was charged with manslaughter & sentenced to 12 years imprisonment, her step father was charged with neglect & sentenced to 5 years imprisonment.
They were also charged with neglect to a 1 year old child who cannot be named for legal reasons.
We all feel that this is a betrayal to this innocent childs life & call for Mr Brown to review the cases & provide true justice, not only for Tiffany, but for other children subject to this type of horrendous & cruel treatment & have their lives taken as a result.
