The mum of 19-year-old Angel Lynn, who was left brain damaged after being kidnapped by her thug ex, has slammed his sentence and said that her daughter will still be lying in a hospital bed when he is released.
Angel suffered life-changing injuries after she was kidnapped by her ex Chay Bowskill, and his friend Rocco Sansome.
The pair, both 20, were jailed on Thursday, with Bowskill handed a seven-and-a-half year sentence and Sansome 21 months.
Angel's parents Patrick and Nikki Lynn appeared on Good Morning Britain as they blasted the sentence, with Nikki warning that they would be out "ruining someone else's life".
Speaking to hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls, Nikki broke down in tears as she said that it "doesn't bear thinking about" how many amendments they needed to make to their home so that their daughter could be with them.
"I think it should be looked at again and i think he should get a longer sentence," Nikki said. "Judge spencer said, 'you're looking at a hefty sentence'. I don't think that's a hefty sentence at all."
"Angel will probably still be lying in bed when he's out, ruining someone else's life," she continued. "She can't walk, talk, eat... we don't know if she knows who we are when we visit."
Host Ed said: "It's hard to imagine how difficult is has been for you."
"We want to bring her home but we don't live in the biggest of houses," Nikki said as she began to cry. "It doesn't bear thinking how much we've got to do."
It comes after the Attorney General Suella Braverman reportedly confirmed a complaint has been filed about Bowskill's sentence.
It will now be reviewed and the legal chief will decide whether to refer it to the Court of Appeal.
Angel has been left unable to communicate, walk or feed herself and needs 24-hour care after the kidnapping attempt.
She was injured when she exited a speeding vehicle going an estimated 60mph on the A6 towards Loughborough, Leicestershire.
It is unclear how she left the vehicle during the horrific incident on September 17 2020, LeicestershireLive reported .
Bowskill, of Empingham Drive, Syston was cleared of “unintentionally causing her grievous bodily harm” because it could not be proven how she left the vehicle.
Sansome, of Wanlip Lane, Birstall, admitted possession of cannabis and driving the van when unfit through cannabis use, on the morning of the A6 incident.
Judge Spencer said Sansome's role, as driver of the van, was less serious than Bowskill's involvement.
The prosecution failed to prove Angel was thrown or pushed out and the defence claimed she jumped or fell accidentally out onto the road, Leicester Crown Court was told.
Bowskill was convicted of kidnapping, controlling and coercive behaviour towards Angel during their year-long relationship and perverting the course of justice, by seeking to persuade his own mother to retract or change a police statement she made against him.
He was handed a seven-and-a-half year sentence to serve at a young offender institution.
Commenting on the sentence, Angel's mum Nikki, 47, told the Sun: "It makes me furious. What kind of message is that sending to monsters like him?
"He can be back out trying to wreck other women’s lives while my daughter is trapped forever."
Dad Patrick, 53, said he could never forgive Bowskill, adding: "He has stolen everything from Angel and paid such a small price with that sentence."
Sentencing at Leicester Crown Court, Judge Timothy Spencer QC told Bowskill: "She was a beautiful young woman who should have been enjoying the carefree years of her late-teens into early adulthood.
"You treated her in a vile way. She was belittled by you to a point where she must have felt worthless on a regular basis.
"You bombarded her with repulsive and degrading messages. You controlled her freedom of movement by a variety of means.
"She wasn't allowed any sort of life apart from you. I'm satisfied you meted out violence to her, causing bruising, on at least two occasions."
The judge added: "Were it not for the kidnapping, Angel Lynn wouldn't have been in the van, in which there was a high state of tension, travelling along the A6 at between 60 and 70mph and wouldn't have been in a position where she exited the van with devastating consequences.
"None of that would have befallen her had you not kidnapped her in the first place.
"The ultimate consequences cannot be ignored. It must also be set against the background of many months of controlling and coercive behaviour."
