In court yesterday, Mr Stratton pointed out that when the FFFC kicked the foster child, she was wearing slippers. Mr Stratton said that the FFFC was “suffering several stresses which included the recent death of her mother”. (I looked this up and found that it was one year earlier.)
Magistrate McIntyre stated that the FFFC kicking the foster child under their care was at the upper end of seriousness, as the child was already sitting on the ground in an imposed “time out”.
The Police Prosecutor stated that it is “unlikely that the FFFC will reoffend as they will not have children under their care.”
Magistrate McIntyre in summing up also stated “it is unlikely that children will be placed in her care again.”
