Heartbreaking final image of 4-year-old Chloe Valentine. She was forced to ride a motorbike by her abusive parents and fell repeatedly.
In January 2012, 4-year-old Chloe Valentine sadly lost her life in Adelaide, Australia, after her mother, Ashlee Polkinghorne, and her partner, Benjamin McPartland, forced her to ride a 50kg motorbike over a period of three days.
Despite falling repeatedly and losing consciousness, her parents did not seek medical attention for eight hours after her final fall.
The couple reportedly filmed the falls on their phones, laughing while the child suffered.
Both were convicted of mansla*ghter and sentenced to prison. The case led to “Chloe’s Law,” which allows authorities to intervene more quickly in cases where children are at risk.
