“Ms McIntyre also noted that the foster mother had not come into contact with the justice system before she was charged, describing her as an “admired foster parent”.
William Tyrrell’s foster mother and father were on Wednesday sentenced for intimidating a child.
She said while the assault charges occurred in the context of disciplining a child, it was “never justifiable”.
The foster mother was sentenced to a 12-month community corrections order, while the foster father was handed a 12-month good behaviour bond.
Asked if she agreed to the terms of the order, the foster mother told the court: “Yes”.
