Is this an adequate sentence?

The Telegraph report that
'a teenager who attacked a terminally ill grandfather and kicked his head "like a football" has avoided a jail sentence

...

(Reece) Kent admitted carrying out the unprovoked attack and pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm, receiving a six-month suspended sentence.'
A six month suspended sentence to a 19 year old for giving a kicking to a 62 year old cancer sufferer, what is wrong with this country?

Rhetorical question? It would be quicker to list what is right with this country.

Crime and punishment long since parted company. Responsibility is a dirty word whilst the breakdown in families and shocking parenting play their part in creating such thugs - they lack boundaries, conscience, and fear.

The main parties have never had the political will to tackle crime - and to reform the politicised police and the liberal CPS.
