CHILD BRUTALLY TREATED
FATHER SENT TO GAOL. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) HASTINGS, December 13. A Samoan, Ben Scott, who was charged in the Magistrate’s Court with ill-treating his six-year-old daughter, was sentenced by Mr J. Miller, S.M., to one month’s imprisonment. The magistrate also recommended that steps be taken' to see that the child be taken away from her parents. “There is no question that this is a brutal way of treating a child of tender years. Even if she was disobedient, that is no excuse for such brutal treatment,” said the magistrate. “I have prosecuted in cases where the punishment of a horse has not been any more severe than it was to this child,” commented Senior-Sergeant Sivyer, who conducted the case for the police.
