An Alberta mother found guilty of breaking the ankles of her two-year old daughter has been sentenced to 3 1/2 years in prison.
The woman, who can only be identified as S.N.A. due to a publication ban, was convicted in December of several offences -- aggravated assault, assault causing bodily harm and failing to provide the necessaries of life.
"I was lost in life at 18," said the woman. "At 20, I got pregnant with my daughter ... her father was emotionally abusive.""She was extremely naive," she told Edmonton Court of Queen's Bench Justice Wayne Renke. The Crown's medical experts who testified at trial said the girl would have had to fall from a balcony to sustain such injuries."She does not have her daughter. She has no other kids," Janda said before asking for a six-month sentence with three years probation.The judge said he found the woman guilty of breaking both of the girl's ankles, manipulating her ankles and failing to seek medical attention.
