Father Of Starved Hawks Nest Girl Set To Stay In Gaol

BY IAN CROUCH

A father who did nothing while his 7 year-old girl starved to death at Hawks Nest more than a decade ago is set to be denied parole.

Ebony weighed only 9 kilograms when she died in 2007 in one of the worst cases of parental neglect ever seen in NSW.

Her father has become eligible for parole after serving 12 years of a 16 year sentence for manslaughter.

However, News Limited reports the Parole Board intends to block his application.

Ebony's mother was convicted of her murder and won't be eligible for parole until 2037.
