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 -

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.

    • Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
