The accused pleaded guilty to assaulting her three-year-old son by striking him multiple times on the buttocks, causing extensive bruising, and grabbing him by the face while screaming at him.
The Crown proceeded summarily and sought a suspended sentence with three years probation.
Defence counsel sought a conditional discharge.
The court imposed a conditional discharge for three years with conditions including curfew, probation supervision, participation in counselling and anger management programs, and restrictions on contact with the child except as authorized by the Children's Aid Society or family court order.
The court also imposed ancillary orders for DNA collection and a five-year weapons prohibition.
