Over the last few weeks investigations have been going on since a mother lost her unborn baby as a result to a road traffic collision, the court guidelines state a unborn child cannot be considered a victim. This case in fact did not reach a court hearing and was instead dealt with a fixed penalty notice for a vehicle defect. The parents quite naturally feel let down by the system and have begun a campaign to have the law changed. This is not the first time that a bereaved parent has not had the opportunity to have a Victim Impact Statement considered prior to sentencing. This was our reaction to the news.
