Are Judges too lenient?

Are our Judges too lenient with the sentences being handed out to convicted criminals? Read the link below and decide whether a two year prison sentence imposed on two male adults who raped children is justice being done. It was doubled to four but even then that, in my opinion, is not enough -they'll be out in two years. It's a disgusting crime against a defenceless child and no way is a two year stretch justice by any means.

Thoughts.....

Child rapists' prison terms doubled

Gosh Heart, I wonder what you would think of the crimes we have here, just this week a little girl 5 years old raped by her step-grandfather. Of course they get life sentences but then so does the child. She'll never get over the attack.

The link now takes you to a story about tax breaks.
