A father was arrested for smacking his six-year-old daughter so hard he left bruises – because she would not go to bed.
The offence happened before the change in the law which banned smacking, but Sheriff Graham Buchanan said the man’s actions went “considerably over the score” at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Thursday.
The dad, who is not being named to avoid identifying the child, pled guilty to a charge of assault to injury over the incident, which happened on May 22.

Plucky great-grandmother Ruby Hickman of Balintore battled icy paths and howling winds to succeed in her fundraising ascent of Ben Bhraggie on Hogmanay.
Mrs Hickman (73), was accompanied by daughter Jennie Martin and her husband Jamie, as well as her son Scott and his wife Connie. The group took two and a half hours to make it to the top.
The family are raising money to support Mrs Hickman s other son John, who runs a scaffolding business, and his wife Lisa.
