A Northland mother found guilty in relation to the death of her infant has been sentenced to home detention and ordered to undertake an appropriate parenting programme if directed.
The man was discharged without conviction after spending a month in prison, wrongly believing his actions led to the baby’s death. The murder charge was later withdrawn entirely, as her actions could not be linked to the baby’s death. The woman instead faced a total of six charges, including three further charges of ill-treatment – by physically injuring the baby, impeding his breathing and giving him alcohol – and one charge of administering cannabis. During the trial, the woman said it was the baby’s father who hurt the 5-month-old, by squeezing him, lying on him, rubbing his knuckles into his ribs and throwing him up so high he hit his head on the ceiling.
