A 36-YEAR-OLD mother was charged on Friday after she allegedly threw boiling water on her teenaged daughter.

The factory worker of Saddle Road, San Juan, was granted $30,000 bail with a surety when she appeared before a Justice of the Peace  on Friday to answer to the charge of cruelty to a child.

Police reported that the accused was arrested on Friday by WPC Samuel, of the North-Eastern Division Child Protection Unit (CPU) following a report made in September  by a 17-year-old girl that her mother had allegedly attacked her.
