A mother who has pleaded guilty to failing to provide the necessaries of life to her six-week-old baby will spend less than two years in jail.
The 31-year-old woman, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the child, has previously admitted she witnessed the abuse of her daughter but did not remove the baby from the situation, get medical care or report the abuse to police.Justice Gregory Maxwell accepted a joint submission from the Crown and defence lawyers for a sentence of two years less a day in provincial jail and three years probation after being released.
Court has previously heard that the baby was born in December 2022 and arrived normal and healthy, before she experienced the violent abuse that may have left her permanently damaged. The baby’s father has been sentenced to seven years in prison after he pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and five years for failing to provide his daughter with the necessaries of life. Those sentences are being served at the same time.
