Roksana Lecka, a Polish national, was convicted in London in June for 21 counts of child cruelty against toddlers at two nurseries between 2023 and 2024. She received an eight-year prison sentence in September for her "sadistic" acts. However, she is being deported to Poland after serving less than five months due to the UK's early removal scheme for foreign offenders. The father of one victim expressed frustration, as Lecka will be freed upon arrival in Poland, negating the sentence. Victims' families are concerned she may harm children in Poland and feel justice has not been served. A Member of Parliament has also voiced concern over the deportation and the potential risk to children in Poland.
