Six-year-old boy was not toilet trained, court hears
The foster mother of a boy who has accused his father of sexual abuse has told a jury that when the child arrived at her home as a six-year-old he was emaciated, not toilet trained and unable to recognise common foods.
The woman gave evidence at the Central Criminal Court that the boy would relieve himself around the house as he appeared to be afraid to go the bathroom and it took two years before he used the toilet properly.
