Parents attacked daughter for photos

Probation reports are to be prepared on the mother and father who assaulted their teenage daughter in efforts to seize her mobile phone after she posted pictures of herself on Facebook of which they disapproved.

Judge Olann Kelleher read a victim impact statement on behalf of the injured party, who was 15 years old when she was assaulted by both parents.

Sentencing of the mother and father had been adjourned until yesterday to allow time for the preparation of a victim impact statement.
