Baby-assault case shows abuse not confined to history: ISPCC

The ISPCC has said a recent case of horrific abuse inflicted on a 10-month-old baby should serve as a reminder to people that abuse is still a current issue and not just an historical event.

The comments come after a man was jailed in Ennis Circuit Court for three years after a court heard he slapped, kicked, punched and threw a 10-month-old baby around "as if he was a toy".
