Vic: 11 years jail for father who killed three-year-old daughter

Outside court, Liliana's tearful mother, Dieu Lam, said she was angry Quach had not
been charged with murder.

"I think it's bullshit that he got manslaughter and he only got eight years, I don't
think it's right," she told reporters.

"I don't think it's fair that my daughter's defenceless, she can't friggin' help herself
and he said that he got angry and hit my daughter because she wouldn't listen.

"But kids do that, kids don't know any better."

Quach wrote an apology to his victim's family, but Ms Lam said she wasn't interested
in reading it.

"(An) apology is not going to make me feel any better, it's not going to bring back
my daughter, there's no point in saying sorry," she said.
