A father whose toddler died in an ATV rollover on Christmas Day in 2020 has been ordered to do community work in punishment for his part in the boy's death.
Lincoln Browne was thrown from the buggy and crushed after his father did a doughnut in the paddock of their home in Victoria's northeast during a family brunch.
Christopher Browne was supported in court on Thursday by his wife, who County Court Judge Michael Cahill said had remained staunchly loyal.
A psychologist who has treated Browne said the only thing keeping the now 33-year-old going is his sense of responsibility to look after his wife and their younger child.
The couple had stillborn twin daughters before Lincoln's birth.
Browne's doctor implored the court to apply compassion, saying he had already suffered enough.
