Contains graphic language. The west Auckland mother jailed for seven years for the torture of her young daughter says the system failed her - and her family. The 31 year old will serve at least five years without parole after admitting 25 charges of child abuse. The victim was returned to live with her parents and her four siblings in 2008 having being sexually abused while in the care of Child Youth and Family and suffering post traumatic stress disorder. Her mother had written to Prime Minister John Key about the abuse seeking help. Before her sentencing this afternoon, she talked to RadioLIVE's Helen Castles.
