Woman suffered horrific injuries after her BROTHER attacked her when she tried to calm him down.

                                                              
A battered mother-of-one has bravely gone public to reveal the horrific injuries she suffered after she was attacked - by her own brother.
But although Sharon O’Callaghan, 31, was left scarred for life after she was knocked unconscious and suffered a broken nose and damaged jaw, Stephen O’Callaghan walked free from court.
Today Miss O'Callaghan, from Blackburn, Lancashire, said: 'I feel let down by the justice system after what he did to me and what he has now got away with.

''What have you got to do to get justice in this day and age if someone can do that and get away with it?

         
'My injuries speak for themselves. Next time he does this, someone will be dead. If that’s what he will do to his own sister, then there’s no telling what he’ll do to other women.'

O’Callaghan, 32, - who has a history of domestic violence against ex-girlfriends - carried out the attack while drunk at the home he shares with his mother after an evening out in June last year.

His girlfriend had begun receiving phone calls and text messages from an ex-partner and as O’Callaghan flew into a rage, his worried sister intervened.
During a scuffle, O’Callaghan knocked out Miss O'Callaghan with a single punch to the face. She fell to the floor of the kitchen and as well as her other injuries she was left with a bulging bruised eye.
She had pictures taken of her injuries.
Last Friday unemployed father-of-one O’Callaghan admitted assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

                                                          But he was given 12 months custody, suspended for 18 months after Preston Crown Court was told he had gone to a therapy group called 'Make The Change' to address his domestic violence 'rages'.
After the case Miss O'Callaghan, whose eight year old son was in another room at the time of the attack, added: 'I honestly thought my brother was going to go to jail and I’m absolutely mortified that he hasn’t. I can’t believe he’s been allowed to walk.
'He has been in prison before for knocking out his girlfriend and obviously hasn’t shown any remorse for him to do it again.
'I’m just glad I wasn’t in court because I would have cried if I had myself seen him walk free. At the time of the attack, my friend ran out of the room to stay with my little boy and stop him from seeing what his uncle was doing.
'When she came back into the kitchen she found me unconscious on the floor.
'I still have to walk past my brother’s house twice a day to take my son to and from school. How do I tell my son that he has been able to walk away after doing this?
