The speeding driver had gone off the road and killed the man's two-year-old daughter and her grandparents - but was only given 60 days in custody and community service A devastated father threw a chair at a judge in outrage at the 'lenient' sentence the man who killed a two-year-old girl and her grandparents in a tragic road accident. A driver went off the road in The Netherlands, killing the girl and her 67 and 64-year-old grandparents instantly. A police report said the driver was going at 75mph in a 50mph zone. But when he appeared in court, the driver was only given 120 hours of community service, or 60 days in custody if he does not complete the work. In the video clip above you can see the disgusted father throw the chair and storm out of court in the city of Roermond, Limburg. The judge said that the convicted man should be given the sentences imposed in similar cases. That's despite, according to local media reports, the driver never showing remorse and never apologising. The video has been posted to YouTube and since then the sentence has been widely criticised on social media. Questions have even been raised about it in the Dutch Parliament, according to website 1Limburg. Member of parliament Joram van Klaveren reportedly branded the sentence 'absurdly low'.
