The children’s mother, who participated in and facilitated the abuse, was also sentenced for her role in the abuse. The judge, Mr Justice David Keane, paid tribute to the incredible strength and courage of the children in coming forward and enduring the pain and suffering caused by those who were supposed to protect them.

The home is supposed to be a place of safety and security for children, a foundation upon which they can grow and thrive. Unfortunately, for these two children, their home was a place of horror and pain. They were subjected to deplorable crimes by the very individuals tasked with their protection. These very young children, who due to their developmental delays were even more vulnerable than their peers, were subjected to sexual assault, false imprisonment, and endangerment. These offences will likely have a lasting impact on their lives for years to come.
