FOR not properly cooking a meal, a teenaged girl was assaulted by her mother.
The 36-year-old woman was granted $25,000 bail on Wednesday after facing two counts of willful assault to her daughter at the Rio Claro Magistrates’ Court.
The charges stem from an incident in which the woman allegedly assaulted her daughter for burning food. The woman was also ordered to stay at least 50 feet from the girl and was told not to have any contact with her.
The matter was adjourned to January 10, 2021.
Police reports stated that on November 7, the girl was asked to prepare a meal by her mother. The teen, police were told, burned the food after which her mother allegedly beat her with her fists causing injury. It was also reported that on a separate occasion the woman beat the teen with a Chinese chopper which also resulted in injury.
The suspect was arrested and charged on December 7 by acting Cpl Hazzard of the Eastern Division Child Protection Unit (CPU). The investigation was supervised by Supt Claire Guy-Alleyne, acting ASP Roberts and Sgt Baptiste.
