Mother jailed for using electric dog collar on toddler

A British woman who used an electric dog collar on a toddler during a “cruel” catalogue of abuse has been jailed for three years and four months.

Lanna Monaghan had acquired the device, which can deliver electric shocks, after witnessing its apparent effectiveness, the High Court in Glasgow heard.

The 34-year-old, who is pregnant, admitted using the collar on a boy on several occasions in July 2015, repeatedly fixing it to his neck and inflicting shocks.
