Family of beaten toddler fights for tougher child abuse laws - North Carolina

“Nobody sees the tough part of Kilah’s life, this is a little bit of it," Kirbi said. "She struggles to do the easiest task that she used to be able to do." 
"That's the hardest part. Just last year Kilah  was happy, thriving, walking, talking. 
“The little Kilah before this happened was headstrong, it was her way or no way.” 
"Until she suffered brain damage. Police say her stepfather threw her against a wall last May....

"If convicted, Kilah's stepfather faces four to eight years.... 
"Not right she says, when her daughters been handed a life sentence. 
"There is also state legislation in the works right now. Kilah's law would increase penalties on the state level. 
"That bill was introduced last month and is in the committee stage."
