She adds: – The woman isolated them, forbidding them from having contact with their peers. She forced them to take over her household duties, particularly caring for the newborn.
She ordered the children to look after... a one-month-old boy. Spokeswoman: – The children fed their little brother, changed him and soothed him when he cried. When they did not want to follow her orders, the woman insulted and humiliated them, grabbed them, and punched them in the head and all over their bodies.
What is more, the Legnica resident did not prepare meals for her children, restricted their food and neglected their hygiene.
A few days ago, the 34-year-old was arrested and placed in police custody, while the children were taken to a children's home. Commissioner J. Ekiert: – During the proceedings, it turned out that in 2021 the Legnica resident had already been convicted of abusing her children.
The woman was charged. Police officers and the prosecutor applied to the court for pretrial detention for the suspect. The court did not grant the investigators' request; nevertheless, the 34-year-old was banned from approaching the children and placed under police supervision.
The Legnica resident now faces a sentence of between three months and up to five years in prison.
