CHILD BEATEN BY MOTHER
Injuries To Arms , And Neck (New Zeaiono Keen Association: ROTORUA, July 27. “This little girl has been the target of all your nastiness and venom, and it is a shocking and terrible thing for a mother to treat a child as you have treated her,” Mr G. J. Donne, S.M., told Doris Isaacs, of Murupara, who appeared for sentence in the Magistrate’s Court at Rotorua. She was charged with assaulting her 9-year-old daughter. The police said the girl was severely beaten for not bringing in firewood. She was seen at school with injuries to her arms and neck. The Magistrate convicted Isaacs and ordered her to come up for sentence within 12 months if called upon. He warned her that but for medical opinion, she would have gone to prison. “What do you do with the £2O a week that comes in? You don’t spend it on the children, at least certainly not on this one,” said the Magistrate.
