The mother in the viral video who appeared to be choking her one-year-old child was remanded to prison.
Saying that he must protect innocent children and send a message to other parents, Chief Magistrate Ian Weekes sent Shanice Nikita Alicia Reece, 27, a cleaner of Sargeants Village main road, Christ Church to prison until November 8.
She pleaded guilty to ill-treating the child in a manner that could cause it unnecessary suffering on October 15.
She said she recorded the video to get her boyfriend’s attention and did not mean for it to go viral.
The matter was heard in the District A Magistrates’ Court. (HLE)
