Ellie says she feels let down by the justice system as her son's attacker is eligible to be freed as part of the government's efforts to free up space in crowded prisons.
Every time her son has a seizure, Ellie is forced to recall the man who shook her tiny baby so violently he was left with life-changing injuries. Her little boy was born healthy but when he was attacked, just weeks old, his life completely changed. His mobility, vision, and ability to eat have all been seriously affected. Daily seizures are now normal. The injuries, she said, are a life sentence for her son.
Prisoners convicted of domestic abuse offences, such as coercive control, stalking and harassment, are exempt from this policy. But her ex was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and threats to kill. They are not crimes specific to domestic abuse. So he's eligible. Elizabeth has written to Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood calling for change and has shared the letter with Sky News.
