LONGUEUIL, QUE (Canada).?A Quebec man who slapped his teenage daughter so hard she died has been sentenced to 60 days in jail.

Moussa Sidime is expected to serve his time two days a week over 30 weeks.

He was sentenced Wednesday in court in Longueuil, south of Montreal.

The 74-year-old man had pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the death of his 13-year-old daughter Noutene in October 2010.

The court heard Sidime struck her because he didn?t like how she?d completed a chore and because she had been disrespectful.

It was Sidime who called 911 himself after finding the girl unconscious minutes later. She died after a few days in hospital.

The Crown was seeking a prison sentence.

Sidime?s lawyer had argued for leniency, calling the death an exceptional case.

Hmm, a slap shouldn't kill somebody. There must have been some unknown condition she had. But jeez, 2 days a week in jail for 30 weeks? Seems like a super odd sentence for killing a little girl.

Not everything requires blood for blood or for someone to die in a cell, clearly the courts found it to be an accident, no motive of intent and chances are the guy is devastated and now has to live with himself the rest of his short remaining years, what good does it really do to have him sit in jail for a Cpl of years when rehabilitation isn't necessary as it was a once off and retribution is served by what he has to live with.

Dont forget this happened in Canada.

*slap* "sorry'
*dies* "sorry"
*judge* "sorry"
*old guy* "sorry"

and that pretty much sums it all up right there.

BUT WHAT THE HELL IS A 73YO DOING WITH A 13YO DAUGHTER?! Thats the real crime :/

Couldn't agree more

?For a Muslim, you believe that what has happened is the will of God . . . . Whatever would have come out today would have been what God wanted ? as with the passing of our sister, said Aissatou Sidim?-Blanton, who travelled from Texas to be at Wednesday?s sentencing.

 

Yeah, why am I not surprised which religion is involved here?

To the contrary - EVERYONE who is affiliated with a religion has commited a crime... well except for Buddhism -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism_and_violence

 

You actually googled and had to copy & Paste 10 links - just to get shot down with 1 comment - that sucks

Actually, its not me who got shot down, you proved what I was saying is correct. Any human can commit a crime, no matter what religion they belong to, even atheist commit crime.

I think most of the violence done by Buddhists is done to themselves, isnt it ?   Your wiki link actually mentioned they are among the least violent religions.  And the wiki link even states they had more than enough just cause for violence...

I know I erroneously said Buddhists NEVER commited violence - but when one thinks of a Buddhist - violence is not what comes to mind.

I know you see what I am saying - (of course I didnt really mean NO Buddhist EVER commited ANY violent act , my absolution was journalistic sensationalism)  but I know you see and agree with what Im saying... ;)

And now that I read your original post - I see the sarcasm - I guess it was late when I read it - or I was hopped up on Diet Coke and Tramadol - so to that I apologize.

 

Buddhist aren't that violent, that's why Buddhist (monks no less) have been killing anyone that isn't Buddhist in Burma for the past couple years, going as far as setting people on fire. This might be from 2012, but the discriminatory attacks haven't stopped.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
