so karen matthews is out of prison after serving 4 years for the fake kidnapping of her daughter and conning the government out of thousands, maybe even a few million of pounds... FOUR YEARS!!!!! what is this country coming to? so you get about 6-8 years for claiming that you aren't working when you are and you will probably get a few grand and have to pay EVERY PENNY back but if you fake a kidnapping and be a very bad parent you get thousands of pounds and you don't need to pay a penny back, only to serve FOUR YEARS!! WHERE IS THE JUSTICE IN THAT? this country is no longer right and need to sort itself out that woman is sick and doesn't deserve to see daylight again!!
I've never heard of anyone being imprisoned for 6-8 years for benefits fraud.
someone in my area has been recently convicted for that long it has probably got something else to do with it too, I'm not too sure but the point is, is that sick SOAB shouldn't have only got 4 years, she should be locked up and never allowed out again..

quite cruel letting her out actually, practically feeding her to the sharks (media)
She's lost all that money, her assets were all frozen and she'll have restrictions placed on her access to bank accounts etc., lost custody of her daughter, and will never get a job that requires a CRB check again, probably not any job without a new identity.
I think she's probably been punished enough. The idea of the justice system is not to screw people over for life.
The position on benefit fraud is political posturing and pandering to Daily Mail sensationalism over the issue. I'd say the punishment is too harsh, and really undermines the intention which is to prevent people using benefit fraud rather than making a living by legal means (after all, post-prison spell they're not going to get a job easily)
Of course she's not going to get a job, she's going to be on state handouts for the rest of her life probably
weren't she already? i read the book on what happened and i recall it saying that karen had never worked, YAY even more SICK PEOPLE i will have to be paying my taxes for!!
why should I or anyone else have to help her to live!! i'm sorry, some people may find me harsh but i don't see why she should be living off mine and other peoples money after what she has done!
The person who must not be forgotten in all this is her daughter and any of her friends.
her friends!!! her friends tried to help her and she sat there laughing at them all trying to find her 'missing daughter' she didn't care about anyone but herself
and shannon, bless her little heart, that girl never had any love from her mother i just hope that her REAL father still sees her and gives her the love she is in need off.. the poor girl..

Yeah I agree, It would sickening if however she decided to write a book or talk to a mag about it all
Nobody in their right mind will give her a job now though. Unless she gets plastic surgery and a new name.
May as well give her a new brain while we're at it.
Tbh if this wasn't mentioned on the news just now, i wouldn't even recognise her. Its not like her face or name is distinct or anything, just your average chav, I pass by dozens of them every week.
