Nearly 12,000 people demand HARSHER sentence for child basher who left a two-year-old with a BROKEN BACK

He was given immediate parole eligibility... - by Beth Young

Nearly 12,000 people have signed a petition calling for a tougher sentence for a Queensland man who broke a two-year-old girl's back and pelvis during a violent attack.

According to the Fraser Coast Chronicle, Maryborough District Court heard that Jesse Lee James, 29, left the toddler with paralysis of the bowel and fractures to her pelvic bone and vertebrae.

The little girl was in hospital for 15 days and was left with no permanent physical injury. 

'She has been adversely affected as a result of the offending and the devastating effect your actions had,' Judge Tony Moynihan said.

'She is a brave little girl who is making good progress in her current safe environment.'

After pleading guilty, James was sentenced to six years in jail on July 25. 

But, even though he already had a previous conviction for assaulting a three-year-old, he was given immediate parole eligibility due to the almost two years he'd already served behind bars. 

An online petition on Change.org has since labelled the sentence 'grossly inadequate' and has called for the Department of Public Prosecutions to lodge an appeal. 

'Justice for the little girl,' one petition supporter commented. 'This madness must stop. Throw away the key,' wrote another.
