Silly me, while reading the title, for some stupid reason, I thought he confessed right away.
Not saying that makes it better, but letting the doctors know immediately would at least show remorse and that you care more for the child than yourself. But of course he didn't!

14 years is actually surprising. Wish it was longer, but so many people get a slap on the wrist unless (or even when) the child dies.
