The family of a teenager who was left paralysed and unable to communicate after she was snatched off the street are calling for the sentences of her kidnappers to be doubled.
Angel Lynn was 19 when she was grabbed by her boyfriend and thrown into a van in Rothley, Leicestershire, in September 2020 after an argument.
Warning - This story contains images following a serious injury, which some people may find upsetting.
The teenager, from Loughborough, fell out of the vehicle while it was travelling at around 60mph on the A6 near Mountsorrel.
She was left with severe head and brain injuries and is unable to walk, talk or feed herself.
"Seeing her like this kills me every day," her mother, Nikki, told Sky News.
"I worry every day about not being here anymore, who is going to look out for her?"
Her daughter would want her kidnappers "to be in jail a lot longer than what they got… they've shown no remorse".
Chay Bowskill, 20, was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison after being found guilty of kidnap, controlling and coercive behaviour and perverting the course of justice at Leicester Crown Court.
The prosecutor said Angel had been pushed out of the van, but the jury did not convict Bowskill of causing grievous bodily harm.
Bowskill's friend, and the driver of the van, Rocco Sansome, 20, was given a 21-month sentence for kidnap.
'I miss everything about her'
Nikki told Sky News that she was "disgusted" with the sentences.
"She was really bubbly, she loved going out for meals with her friends. She used to take pride in herself, she always looked nice," she said.
"I miss everything about her, doing things together, running in and out of the house how she does, everything, cheekiness, she's just so funny, so kind. I miss her all together I'm just scared I won't get my Angel back.
"I think she might know me when I try and get her to give me a kiss, if I put my cheek out, she purses her lips but it takes all her energy, it's rare."
Family given a 'life sentence'
Attorney General Suella Braverman is now reviewing both sentences to see if they are "unduly lenient".

Angel's aunt Jackie Chamberlain said:
"Those sentences should be doubled, that's what she should do because we have been given a life sentence, as a family, Nikki has been given a life sentence and, moreover, Angel has been given a life sentence."
Angel, now 21, is receiving 24-hour specialist care in a rehabilitation centre, but her family are trying to raise money to adapt their house so that she can return home. They have been told that it's unlikely she will ever recover from her injuries.
